I hate Joe Buck and the NFL

[GuyFawkes38]

I've never liked him. His commentating style is boring, to say the least. I have no idea why Fox promoted him as their top broadcaster (I think it says a lot about how awful Fox sports is).

I was carious what my favorite sports blog, Awful Announcing, had to say about him. This blog post , along with the clip, sums up what's wrong with him:

Espn, itself, has become a platform to hype up the NFL (seriously, why do advocates of the NFL feel the need to constantly proclaim how they are crushing baseball and basketball in the ratings!!!!).

Anyways, we can all be thankful that X has two great broadcasting teams on the radio and TV who actually appear to be enjoying themselves.

Joe Buck is about as smug as it gets. He's like his biggest fan, Billy.
That being said, I hate Buck the personality more than the broadcaster. Have you ever seen him on Letterman? It's painful. He doesn't come on as the broadcaster; no, he comes on like he's some Catskills comedian. He trys to do bits and it's about as funny as Andy Dick in drag(aka Kathy Griffin).

I'm actually tired of the Guy Fawlkes "I hate" threads. Yawn...

And I hate your penchant for thread killing.

I haven't had a thread like this in months. And it's not like there's a lot going on in the House of Smack.

There's a lot worse than Buck. A lot.

I lost respect for Buck ever since he blew the Randy Moss fake mooning to GB out of proportion.

Once again the smack level on this board has reached a dangerously low valley. Joe Buck?

Joe Buck does, indeed, suck. He's like a 90 year old dude trapped in a 42 year old actuary's body.

Ya, but your whole "I hate the NFL" thing is real old. We have heard it numerous times. Why do you even watch it? You obviously do because you are complaining about Buck.

I actually like Buck, but I do agree he overreacted in the case you state.

Two words: Matt Vasgursion (or how ever the hell you spell it).

If it's who I'm thinking of, he's now on MLB Network so you won't have to listen to him any more unless you want to.

I HATE Joe Buck, but Thom Brenaman's play by play of the National Championship was the worst job by an announcer of a major sporting event ever.

I think he's very good at baseball, not so good at football. I think Buck is good at baseball, and sufficient at football.

He was the guy calling the Texas- OSU game.

Do you think he gave Tebow a BJ before the game, after or both?

[Juice]

More of Joe Buck being Joe Buck (an uptight loser who only has a job because his dad did his job real well).

Worse than Charles Davis as the color commentator for the same game? That pair will be in the dictionary under "mute button".

Good news if you hate Joe Buck. His retaurants are all closing, and maybe even the one in St. Louis.
