Joe Buck cracked me up

I don't like Joe Buck, because he always seems to be doing the Red Sox games, and he's annoying.

 

But yesterday he cracked me up during the GB/DET game.

 

He was doing the usual terrible announcer thing of gushing on Favre "Favre is getting close to the record for consecutive completions. Is there any record Favre isn't in danger of breaking!" blah blah blah.

 

He must have gotten a look or a smack from one of his partners, because he followed up with:

 

"Do you think that maybe sometimes announcers gush a little bit too much over Favre?" (chuckles)

 

(pause)

 

"Look at the way the sun just glistens off his helmet. It's breathtaking."

 

:D

FWIW, I like him as an announcer.

hey Atomic (cuz i know you were watching) or anybody else...

 

did you catch Buck's comment in game 4 of the ALCS?

thats the game Youkilis, Ortiz and Ramirez went back to back to back...

Fox was going to a commercial, showing the replay of each homer and Buck says,

'first it was Youuuk, then Big Papi and then this shot from Man Ram!'

 

ahhhhahaha!....Man Ram!!??...i couldnt believe my ears! :D

 

luckily the knickname didn't stick...never heard that again.

This was coined, I believe, by Jim Rome.

For those of us who live in the midwest, we got to listen to Joes dad, Jack as the Card announcer and Joe comes in and does Bird games alot during the baseball season. Joe is one of the best announcers out there. FWIW, he does all of the Red Sox games in recent years because they are one of the best teams in baseball. I think if it were a different team being so successful, he would be covering them instead.

BTW, that was a funny ass quote.

Buck's head looks like a giant pencil eraser.

It actually IS a giant pencil eraser. He's a bionic journalist experiment -- can erase entire paragraphs in a single scrub ... It's a lame power, but you gotta understand, the writers have gone on strike so that aspect of his ability hasn't been properly developed.
