And then there was Aikman’s memorable line about Lions head coach Dan Campbell, which quickly went viral, “He’s got big onions. I mean, this is a bold move.” The quote, shared by Awful Announcing on X, came just before the Lions picked up a crucial first down on a fourth-and-1. His funny broadcasting forced the fans to wonder if he was in his right senses. And everyone started popping the same question.

Fans reveal their curiosity about Troy Aikman

Troy Aikman’s call of the Lions vs. Ravens game was supposed to be business as usual. Instead, it turned into a night where fans couldn’t stop speculating about what was going on with the Hall of Famer in the booth. Social media lit up with theories, jokes, and even genuine concerns.

One of the most common reactions came from fans who simply couldn’t believe how loose and casual Aikman sounded. “Is Troy Aikman s—faced?” one fan posted while half-joking. Aikman’s Southern accent and relaxed delivery were unlike his usual polished style. Others took it even further.

“Troy Aikman gotta be drunk,” another fan wrote, suggesting that only a few drinks could explain lines like “He’s got big onions.” These comments were said with a wink; of course, viewers weren’t actually accusing Aikman of being tipsy, just pointing out how unfiltered he sounded. A few fans went from humor to concern. “Is Troy Aikman having a stroke?” one tweet read. While most saw it as a joke, it showed just how unusual his delivery felt to longtime viewers.

Then some used the moment to criticize Aikman’s entire broadcasting career. “Troy Aikman hasn’t said anything insightful in his 20 years in the booth,” one fan declared. Nevertheless, Aikman showed on Monday night that his charm goes beyond X’s and O’s. Fans weren’t just locked into his analysis; they were buzzing about his personality. The line that kept popping up was blunt and hilarious: “Is Troy Aikman drunk?”

Well, it wasn’t criticism, it was proof people were hooked. He wasn’t just calling a game; he was stealing the show, turning into the main character and leaving everyone still talking about him well after the final whistle. A good strategy, though!
