Deitsch's guest, Sports Business Journal reporter John Ourand, suggested executives might have been more angry that Aikman went to another publication to make his comments.
But Deitsch had his own theory why the network was so angry with the Hall of Famer's comments, but not with other Fox-on-Fox media fights. Whereas maybe if it's a quote-unquote straight or traditional person like Aikman, they get very upset when he criticizes one of the talent," Deitsch said. Aikman's beef with Bayless goes back to the s, when the Undisputed host suggested the former Cowboys quarterback might be gay in a book he wrote about the team.
Earlier this month, Aikman announced his engagement to longtime girlfriend Capa Mooty. ESPN not only spent months courting Ray Lewis to join the network as an analyst, it also considered the former linebacker's link to a high-profile double-murder in Lewis, who retired from the Baltimore Ravens last month, pleaded guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice after being charged with two counts of murder of Richard Lollar and Jacinth Baker.

Ray Lewis is one of the smartest players in the history of the NFL. On Twitter or on Facebook, for example, I would always people criticizing Ray Lewis for his knowledge of the game and quite frankly I find those people to be ignorant, to say the least.
Let me say this again. Ray Lewis is one of the smartest players in NFL history. The study habits that he showed in his year career with the Baltimore Ravens is something that very few people in the history of the game can match. This was a guy who would go toe to toe with quarterbacks of the likes of Tom Brady and Peyton Manning and match their smarts on the field and in preparation during the week if not more.
There were a lot of times where Lewis knew where the play would go before it even happened. Ray Lewis to me should have had his own segment on how to study film each week and how to preparing for certain teams and quarterbacks.
