ScootsMcGoots Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2022/03/11/joe-buck-leave-fox-join-espn-monday-night-football/7007377001/ The article is mostly about football, but I thought it was noteworthy as he won't be calling World Series games anymore (as long as MLB sticks with Fox).

CentralChamps21 Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Not sure why this is in PHT, but anyway it's nice that Joe Buck is going to MNF when there is a Manningcast alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move it if it should be somewhere else, but I figured Joe Buck not calling WS games was newsworthy enough to put here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soulfly Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Was hoping it said he was leaving broadcasting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) I am in the minority that likes Buck. I think he runs a real good broadcast. I was born in 92. So, I automatically associate his voice with "big games". He should be better than the play by play guys on MNF that have cycled through since Mike Tirico (with whom I like as well). I always liked the Buck/Aikman tandem on FOX. I wonder who will be the top NFL and baseball duo now? Edited March 12, 2022 by Richie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See Konerko's big grand slam. After he announced grand slam, there was silence from him, and granted they should be for a little while so those watching can hear the crowd, but it just lasts too long.

I know some don’t like that he doesn’t go Hawkeroo , but he is a national broadcast. Locals should be homers like Hawk. National , I think Buck does a good job without sounding like he just came out of broadcaster school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, that's exactly why I like Buck. He let's the atmosphere take over and speak for itself. He doesn't make the moment all about himself ranting and raving. Spewing signature catch phrases or calls. Summerall, Scully, etc. Practiced the art that way. Being a great announcer isn't making the BIG call or playing up to the intensity of the moment. It's the little nuances, which I think Buck does well. He also allows the moment to just be... instead of inserting himself into it. To each their own, though. I also have seen him interviewed, and he's really funny/likable. He totally plays along with the "I hate your team" and "I know you hate me" bit. It's funny. He seems like a humble guy with a great respect, passion, and work ethic towards what he does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeC Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Buck is/was great in Brockmire. Other than that... just shut up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
