Before Sunday’s 2017 NFC Championship (where the Atlanta Falcons trounced the Green Bay Packers for a ticket to Super Bowl LI), there’s a 100% chance you never heard anyone say former NFL quarterback guru Troy Aikman and TIDAL-flipping business, man Jay Z looked alike, let alone had anything in common.
All that changed once Twitter got a hold of some screenshots from Aikman’s FOX Sports’ pregame broadcast that had him looking chunky in the face and caused social media users to swear they saw the resemblance. Sort of like an ink blot.
As you can see up above, Aikman is just as amused as everyone else, who were more than likely just bored.
