I get a weird feeling that Troy Aikman and Joe Buck are sleeping together.
They do gaze....

John is pretty common as are Dan and Joe in the way of names. They did have Dandy Don & Broadway Joe, The Golden Boy (not a qb), Willy Joe. But i don't recall anyone calling Tarkenton Fran.
It kind of like Elvis. When you say Elvis who thinks of Elvis Peacock?
As for Aikman, I'm not a fan no matter how much he won.

With Frank and Dandy Don. That was an awesome time, they made Monday Night Football.
The only other team even close were Somerall and Madden.
What kind of society is it where we even care that they call them by their first names?
No kidding. Classic. Along the lines of Johnny Carson.
Cosell was an icon. But listening to him announce an Ali fight was just too much for the ol' man who didn't care for Ali to begin with. Howard could take a punch like nobodys business!

I always thought John Madden was hilarious, in a sad way. Like maybe they kept him around just because. "Now what the offense really needs is a first down!" Thank you, John. "If the defense can stop this drive, it will really help the team!" That's right, John, good job.
Now that it's 3rd and 10 the offense is gonna have to get about 10 yards or they'll probably have to punt the ball.
"The team with the most points usually wins the game" was my favorite. That and the time he drew those marker lines on the gatorade jugs during the Super Bowl showing how they were strategically placed.
