Joe Buck is the man

[Bill Lumbergh]

I think he is a great football announcer, and I love listening to him announce baseball as well.

Discuss.

[Berserker]

1. Ha Haa

Joe Buck you suck
You can kiss Randy Moss's Ass
Everyone know's you are a schmuck
And Randy's the one with CLASS!

GO VIKINGS

[Bill Lumbergh]

3. Randy Moss is a prick

Howie Long knows it.

Terry Bradshaw knows it

Aikman knows it.

Collinsworth knows it.

Buck knows it.

And I know it.

THERE IS NO I in TEAM, RANDY MOSS.

We could have beat your ass if we had played you guys this year. ;)

But it does not matter. You guys will not get past Philadelphia.

Your season ends next Sunday.

[underpants]

25. Which one said,"Talent doesn't cover everything"?

Well guess what MONEY DOES!!! I loved that bit in the ENDzone.

Hahahahahahha

[Arger68]

64. "We could have beat your asses if we had played you guys

this year"

Just wondering, which team do you play for, and what position? Yes, Randy moss is something, but did you know that it's a longstanding tradition for Green Bay players to moon the Vikings player's bus when they leave Lambeau Field? Anyone who's a Yankee's fan shouldn't really be talking about another team's players anyway.

[Bill Lumbergh]

65. I'm sorry is that English?

I'm sorry your Twins suck so much balls.

Sing it Johan Santanaaaaa... lmao.

[KitchenWitch]

6. YESSSSSSSSSSS

Gods, I cannot stand Joe Buck!

[Bill Lumbergh]

7. Whateverrr

Joe Buck rules.

[sportndandy]

2. He is easily shocked and offended.

Like most football fans.

[StopTheMorans]

4. discuss? I think you're full of sh*t

he whored for the yankees the past few years in the playoffs, couldn't stop mentioning "the curse" every time something that was just a regular part of the game happened to the red sox, and couldn't string two words together when the red sox beat the yankees. he's a piss-poor announcer whose bias is more apparent than many fans...

[Bill Lumbergh]

5. I love the Yankees

They are my favorite team.

I never thought about that aspect.

Maybe that's why I like Joe Buck so much. :)

In all seriousness, I never thought there was a curse. That was just an excuse some Boston fans made for doing so poorly in the postseason up until this year.

Here's to next year, and the Yankees beating the Red Sox in 5 in the ALCS.

Johnson > Schilling
Mussina > Wells
Pavano > Clement
Wright > Miller
Brown tied with Arroyo

[KitchenWitch]

8. The Man-Love he gives

Derek Jeter and Alex (I knocka da balla outta ya glove-a) Rodriguez during baseball is downright sickening.

[Bill Lumbergh]

9. I rather like it

nt

[StopTheMorans]

10. .

[Bill Lumbergh]

11. .

;)

[StopTheMorans]

12. yeah, is all the euphemistic "greatest team ever assembled"

"ghosts of yankees past" shit really necessary? joe buck is an overpaid fraud just like the whores he shills for...

[Bill Lumbergh]

16. Sour grapes

Taste so good

[StopTheMorans]

19. sour grapes for what? when was the last time the yankees won?

that's right, sing it with me all you sox fans: 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! 2000! keep living in the past with those ghosts; i'll take this year's title any day...

[Bill Lumbergh]

23. ok

I never mentioned anything about ghosts. I don't believe in the ghosts/curse bullshit.

26-5. :)

Yankees have won 26 in the last 85 years. Sox have won 1.

The Yankees will make it 27 next year. Your pitching is not as good as ours this year. Wells is old. He has a bad back, and he is 25 pounds overweight. He will get injured.

Same with Schilling. He'll miss April and the Yankees will build up a 5 or 6 game lead by the time he gets back. And Schilling is no Randy Johnson. Randy Johnson pitched game 5 of the 2001 ALCS and then pitched game 7 in RELIEF of Schilling.

Clement is decent but he is no Pavano.

Miller is good but he is no Jaret Wright.

Arroyo is good but IF Kevin Brown is healthy he is one of the premiere pitchers in baseball. In 2003 he had an era around 2.40. Last year he was injured and had arm and hand problems. This year he is doing much better.

Our bullpen is also better with the addition of Stanton, F-Rod, and Karsay. With these guys we will be able to rest Gordon more and he will be the ace that we know he is. Same with Rivera.

[rockymountaindem]

54. On the other hand

Johnson could scratch a cornea with that long hair of his and Brown might punch the wall again.

[DaveinMD]

40. bullcrap

he hates the Yankees. I want to punch the tv screen everytime he does a Yankees game.

[gnofg]

13. overrated

Joe like the Carey boys and the guy from Cincinnati wouldn't have a job if it wasn't for their Dad's. How about some announcers who worked to get there.

[StopTheMorans]

14. WOOT!

:thumbsup:

[KitchenWitch]

15. Right on, dude!

Wish I could ride my daddy's shirttails into a multimillion dollar contract!

[Bill Lumbergh]

17. I guess you think you could do a better job

He's gotten numerous broadcasting awards.

[StopTheMorans]

18. unwarranted assumption my friend. the poster never compared their

own merits to joe buck's. rather, they called into question joe buck's avenue to success, and whether it wouldn't be better to see people make it into the business based solely on their talent...

[Bill Lumbergh]

20. No doubt it helped,

just like it helped Patrick Kennedy to have his surname when going into politics.

But let's be consistent here.

If Joe Buck really sucked as an announcer as you claim he does, he wouldn't have been doing this for more than 10 years.

He doesn't suck as an announcer. You may dislike how he kisses up to the Yankees or whatever, but he is a good announcer and Fox pulls good ratings on Joe Buck's shows.

[StopTheMorans]

21. another unwarranted assumption: just because joe buck has been

doing it for 10 years, it doesn't logically follow that he isn't a horrible announcer. there are plenty of people on TV who are not particularly good at what they do, yet they have long careers (carrot-top comes to mind). and fox is full of shitty programming, so that really undercuts the rest of your argument.

[Bill Lumbergh]

28. No, Fox NEWS Channel is full of shitty programming.

Fox network television has some of the highest rated shows on television.

You may say they suck but the vast majority of viewers disagree with you.

[StopTheMorans]

30. no, the vast majority of FOX VIEWERS disagree with me

[Bill Lumbergh]

31. Well, obviously.

People who watch Joe Buck announce games are obviously watching Fox.

I guess you didn't watch the World Series on Fox. Because Joe Bucks sucks so much. I guess you listened to it on the radio.

[StopTheMorans]

32. another unwarranted assumption.

you said "I guess you didn't watch the World Series on Fox. Because Joe Bucks sucks so much. I guess you listened to it on the radio." your last sentence does not logically follow from either of your previous 2 statements, and you totally disregard the real reason that i watched the world series on fox: I had no other options as fox was the ONLY channel that televised. please try and make your arguments logically follow your premises; obfuscating the issue only wastes my time and yours.

[Bill Lumbergh]

34. I wasn't making an argument

And it's funny that you criticize me for being illogical, when the title of your first post in this thread was "discuss? I think you're full of shit". Anybody with even a rudimentary knowledge of logic would know the ad hominem is a fallacy.

[StopTheMorans]

38. that was obviously an off-handed comment, and not the meat of

my argument. my supporting statements then followed. again, your last statement is not taking into account the whole scope of my first post.

[Bill Lumbergh]

41. It was a rude comment,

and it leads me to not want to take your arguments seriously.

[StopTheMorans]

43. that's your choice

[kick-ass-bob]

52. then why have you spent half of your post total talking to him? n/t

[KitchenWitch]

37. It's the games that draw the ratings

NOT the self-important, sanctimonious announcers. I would have watched the Vikings/Packer game today if a 3 year old was calling the play by play...it's the game....not the announcer.

[kick-ass-bob]

51. Case in Point: Tim McCarver.

Long career, yet worthless.

[pintobean]

27. On the job training.

Joe Buck grew up in the broadcast booth. He's the best.

[Bill Lumbergh]

36. Bingo

nt

[MadHound]

63. Hear hear!

Jack Buck is still the voice of Cardinal's baseball, even from beyond the grave, his son simply rode in on his dad's coattails.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

22. Jack Buck is the man

Joe's his kid.

[Bill Lumbergh]

24. Jack Buck WAS the man you mean

He died.

I think Joe Buck is now the man.

[Jeff in Cincinnati]

26. Is the man...

Will always be the man. Thou shalt have no other men before him.

Blasphemer...

[Bill Lumbergh]

29. His son will be better

nt

[gnofg]

33. Jack was an original

Joe Buck is Ok as an announcer. The Carey boys and Joe Buck assume they know more about sports that the average guy. I would like to hear guys who made it on their merits. I find all the second generation announcers lacking in originality. Listen to Marv Albert,Jack Buck or Vince Scully and think how natural and original they are or were.

[Bombtrack]

35. He's a big douche

anyone listen to Stern today? They're mocking his dumb ass.

"THAT IS DISGUSTING"

He's officially the new Heather Wilson (R-NM)

[Bill Lumbergh]

45. Well it was disgusting

It was shameful doing that in front of the Green Bay fans.

Moss thinks he is the greatest WR in the history of the game. He's not.

[eyepaddle]

58. A classic comment from somebody

who doesn't have any idea what he's talking about. Randy Moss suffers from what I term "negative eloquence." Most of his antics are fairly picayune but when he tries to do damage control it almost inevitably winds up making the situation worse. I know it really wouldn't be worth the trip to Mankato for you, but Randy Moss is very caring and considerate to the fans at training camp--well, really just the kids, you can tell he's fed up with a lot of the adults. There's one diasbled little boy in particular who would disagree strongly with anybody calling Randy "classless."

And for the record, those assholes in Lambeau had that coming to them. A group of cheeseheads makes it a point to moon the Vikings team bus after every Vikings game at Lambeau and you really need to see the signs and hear the jeers that get directed towards Randy Moss before you can make any judgements.

And did anybosy else notice how similar FOX sprts are to FOX news--the personalities are handed a script and they all hit the talking points.

Joe Buck can kiss my unwashed ASS.

[DaveinMD]

39. Buck is an idiot

even more so when talking about baseball. Moss is a punk, but that doesn't change what Buck is. If his dad wasn't Jack Buck, he wouldn't have a job.

[Bill Lumbergh]

42. Moss pretended to moon the crowd today

He's a fucking prick

Ok Minnesota won. They played hard. They deserved it.

That doesn't mean that Moss has to act like an asshole in front of all the Green Bay fans.

[DaveinMD]

46. I agree

the Moss thing is a seperate issue. That doesn't mean Buck isn't an idiot. He's too busy trying to be funny instead of just calling the game. I don't watch sports to hear his standup routine. Just call the damn game.

[Bill Lumbergh]

49. No it's not a separate issue

You brought up the Stern bit to demean Buck, but everything is okay to Stern. Stern doesn't even know the rules of football, much less appropriate game conduct.

[DaveinMD]

55. what stern bit

I'm confused?

[DS1]

44. There isn't a single announcer in modern sports worth listening to

And that goes DOUBLE for the Olympic Diving fucks on NBC.

[underpants]

48. Who did the announcing for "Kenny Loggins on Ice" yesterday?

:bounce:

[DS1]

50. Ed Lover

[underpants]

53. Ha!

Ed Lover

[IntravenousDemilo]

47. ON YOUR KNEES, JOE BUCK!

(quick -- what movie?)

[Berserker]

56. Joe Buck is the Prick

And the yankees suck but they are and always have been the best team money can buy. And to say your team would have kicked the Vikings ass sounds so childish. My dad can kick your dads ass nanner nanner nanner. Now who would YOUR team be? giants? jets? giants are gone for the year and the jets will be gone after the Steelers game.

[GCP]

57. Midnight Cowboy?

Maybe

[IntravenousDemilo]

67. dingdingdingdingdingdingdingding

You are correct! Come and get your gravy and two meatballs!

[RetroLounge]

59. Joe, is that you?

:eyes:

[Bill Lumbergh]

60. Wisconsinite

I feel your pain.

[Bluebear]

61. Welcome to DU, Joe!

[jeffrey_X]

62. Can't stand him*

nm

[fishwax]

66. He seems to know baseball well

but I don't think he offers that much to the listener. He's more concerned with turning a phrase than calling a game. I'm just not a huge fan of his style, which seems to involve fitting the game to the storyline in the morning papers rather than allowing it to develop on its own. As a football announcer I don't care for him at all.
