Troy Aikman, why don't people complain about his constant use of double subjects in sentences?

It's also called pronominal apposition. You'd think Joe Buck would get tired of it. Troy can't make two statements in a row without using it. It drives me nuts!

It's irritating that Aikman calls Cowboy games. He is so biased.

It would be too intimidating, knowing how he's picking apart one's grammar.

Now we know his screen him is based on his linguistic superiority.
