Troy Aikman goes off on officials during Packers-Giants

Troy Aikman spoke for the masses when he criticized the officials late in the first half of the Green Bay Packers-New York Giants game on Monday.

A Green Bay kickoff had hit off a Giants player before going out of bounds.

The officials, however, somehow missed it and threw a penalty flag, meaning the Giants would get the ball at the 40.

However, after another lengthy review what Aikman and everyone saw was the ruling.

“This is ridiculous what we’re watching right now,” he said from the announce booth. “We see something it takes five seconds. It takes them five minutes.

“The problem with all this is just make the call. There’s 13 seconds in the half. … just make a decision.  This is what stops all these games. And the officials, I know, they have been talked about every week but this is ridiculous, what we’re watching right now.
