"Now if we get his brother... over to the world wide leader, we got something!" Aikman, 59, said of Travis possibly joining them on ESPN after he retires from the league, prompting the three-time Super Bowl champion tight end to share his thoughts on whether that career path would interest him down the road.
"I don't know, man. ESPN is a very polished organization. I don't know if I would...," joked Travis, playfully alluding that he wouldn't be cut out for the buttoned-up job. "I'm just kidding," he added with a laugh, saying, "I'd have a fāking blast, dude!"
Aikman confirmed, "It's not that polished."
"You're right. Considering Jason's first time on air, he's screaming 'tits' on air," a laughing Travis recalled to Jason and Aikman, both amused by the hilarious September 2024 incident. "And he still has a job!" the 11-time Pro Bowler noted noted.
The conversation arose after Aikman praised Jason for his work at ESPN after his March 2024 retirement from the NFL. He played 13 seasons, became a seven-time Pro Bowler, six-time All-Pro selection and won Super Bowl LII in February 2018.
