Buck is probably the most accomplished announcer of this lifetime. Main national baseball guy for over 20 years (no one has had a run like that ). Main NFL guy on fox , the nfc network , which is the main conference , for what 15 years . He’s also called major golf . He’s still got a long career ahead . His career is probably better than al Michaels , although Michaels had the miracle on ice.
I don’t know if Nantz beats him, even though nantz has had stretches of super bowl, ncaa final 4 and masters .
And I don’t like buck. But hard to argue with what he’s done and will do.

Guy is incredible...I love em
Private jets allow amazing mobility with no hassles.
I’ve had the privilege of flying private a few times, the problem is going back to commercial is a powerful reality check

How big are these commercial plans that buck is flying on? Nothing like the plan that crashed in Colonia I assume

That was a twin engine prop.
I’m sure Buck is flying in a state of the art at least 8 people size Jet

Announcers part deaux Never a fan of Matt Millen on any level but glad that he got a heart and his family got him back. He even sounds less offensive doing the radio broadcast tonight.

Joe Buck is horrible at announcing golf. Doesn’t have the right voice or tone for it. Always sounds like he is doing a football game. Plus he hugged McGwire after HR record, openly roots for the Cowboys due to Aikman and hates the Yankees. And he talks way too much.

I think he’s fine at football; in that sport the drama sort of pops off the screen.

I think a good announcer can accentuate the drama in baseball, and I’m not sure he’s very good at doing so. Sometimes he even flattens it. I wish 20 years ago someone gave Jon Miller the elixir of eternal youth, and then assigned him to postseason baseball for eternity.

I tend to like ex players. Kiner, Simms, Darling, Ray Lucas (homer), Herbstreit, Johnny Miller, Madden, Keith Jackson for their respective sports. Professional sports announcers greats? Cosell, Marv Albert, Micahels. Nance is an idiot. Sucks at every sport.

he sucks and he's pompous candy *** runt in real life. Had dinner with him in St Louis and literally wanted to punch him in the mouth for being just an overall a$$hole. If Ozzy wasn't there with his sweet calm demeanor, I think Joe B get's a beat down...lol

A few years ago, during a world series, the Fox feed broke and the network used the ESPN International feed. The difference between Joe Buck and Matt Vasgersian was night and day. When Fox couldn't get their feed to work, they took over for the ESPN announcers. Must have been a contractual thing.

Joe has the big booming voice. Great for football. Matt has the calming historical baseball announcing voice. A much better listen during a baseball game.

I think Joe may be polarizing because of his employer. He is very good.

Friend of mine is a private jet pilot. He flies athletes, politicians, musicians all over the world. Loves it.
