Chalk this up with something I never though I'd say, but thank god for Skip Bayless today. First Take decided to replay and discuss Joe Buck's comments this morning and here is Skipper's rather well thought out and spot on response.... See how easy that was Skip? You're honest, you know the topic, and you showed some passion about a Sport you love. All kidding aside, I couldn't have ...
Buck: Bored By Baseball, Has To Cram For Games
sportsbybrooks.com 7/2/2008 — Sports talk radio is the place where announcers and analysts take off the masks and tell us how they really feel about the sports they cover and the people playing them — because they really don’t think anyone is listening. Last month, ...
Buck tees off on baseball.
sportsmediawatch.blogspot.com 7/3/2008 — Joe Buck is no shill for Major League Baseball. Far from it, in fact.
Not only can Buck rarely be bothered to broadcast games, calling fourteen regular season games in the past two years, but he has made it known that he does not enjoy the game as ...
Your MLB Announcing Schedule For The Weekend —
AwfulAnnouncing
Well this little schedule looks familiar doesn't it? I'm sorry to say it Baseball fans but you're stuck with the Red Sox and New York and Chicago teams for just about the rest of the Summer. ESPN is even going the whole month of July with either a New York team or Boston on Sunday Night Baseball! Well you do get to see the stellar Rockies take on the Mets on July 13th. So you've got that ...
Leave Joe Buck Alone!, Or Why Joe Buck is Not the Baseball Anti-Christ —
FanHouse
This week, Joe Buck got pilloried. In case you haven't been around, Buck called in to Colin Cowherd 's consistently irritating radio show to talk about modern sports media and the way fans don't watch weeknight games anymore. He also admitted the one thing sports personalities should probably never admit -- he's not all that enthusiastic about baseball anymore. Bad Joe. Bad. The response ...
Joe Buck Prefers Bachelorette to Baseball —
SportsFilter
Fox's lead baseball announcer told ESPN's Colin Cowherd yesterday that he prefers watching The Bachelorette to watching baseball. "These games take forever," Buck said, "by the time you get through the sixth inning, if you're watching every minute, you've put two-plus hours into the thing. ... From our own perspective the Saturday Game of the Week ... is not as special or unique as it used to ...
Joe Buck comes clean —
Ball Don't Lie
By now you've likely heard Joe Buck's candid and
not-altogether-unexpected revelation about his life away from the broadcast
booth. If you haven't, I'll touch on it, and
you can also go here for the breakdown . And if you're waiting for the NBA
angle, it will show up, eventually.
Buck went on one of those miserable radio chat shows to tell
the world that he doesn't watch much baseball ...
Joe Buck Admits He Barely Watches Sports, Doesn’t Enjoy Baseball Anymore —
Larry Brown Sports
Maybe this explains why some baseball telecasts aren’t too enjoyable (putting aside what happens on the field). When FOX’s top national play-by-play man says he barely watches sports and doesn’t really enjoy baseball anymore , you know we have a problem. Listen to his conversation with Colin Cowherd on ESPN Radio.
It’s no coincidence that some announcers ...
Joe Buck Is Tired Of Broadcasting Baseball Games —
SPORTSbyBROOKS
The real reason to get into sports radio - porking potential Playboy Playmates .
• Joe Buck bellows that he’s now bored with baseball . Boo-freaking-hoo.
• We cringe in sympathy for Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder , who’s been placed on the DL with a fractured left testicle .
• A sprinter runs for 30 seconds then rests for 30 seconds - but is it art ?
• ...
There was one thing I liked about my Milwaukee Brewers 2007 Choke Job —
The Grand National Championships
I have a vow never to listen to Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. I play fast and loose with my vows, I'll admit it. But this one has stuck. I will never listen to them broadcast a baseball game ever again. And with my local sports team about to make it to the playoffs? I was going to have to break the vow. But then the Cubs got in the way. And I've never properly thanked them for it. Thanks. Why the ...
Why is Joe Buck still calling baseball games? —
Obscure Sports Quarterly
Joe Buck went on the Colin Cowherd show today and said some things you wouldn’t expect baseball’s most prominent and baseball announcer to say.
Buck said he barely watches any sports during the week and baseball is not as special or unique as it used to be. During the whole interview he sounded very down and unenthusiastic about baseball, also complaining about the amount of ...
The Ennui Of Joe Buck —
Can't Stop The Bleeding
FOX’s national voice for Baseball openly admitted to not enjoying the game he covers, cramming for weekend matchups, thinking that the games are too long and that the game just isn’t the same. Unbelievable. You’re getting paid millions of dollars for watching a game three hours. Cry me a river! What’s even worse than that was the fact that he was on for another 4 ...
Joe Buck hates Mom, Baseball, Apple Pie. Loves the Bachelorette. —
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog
Y’know how every postseason in game chatter I am one of the few people who defend Joe Buck?
That ends now after I read this Awful Announcing post.
I’m borderline furious this morning and not just because I have to mention Colin Cowherd. Joe Buck was on ESPN Radio this morning, and you can’t make this stuff up, said he doesn’t enjoy Baseball anymore and chooses to watch the Bachlorette over ...

Sports Media Journal
From the “You must be kidding me” department…
Take a listen to this short clip from Fox’ Joe Buck on the Colin Cowherd radio show today on ESPN Radio.
For a guy who makes a living as a sports commentator, shouldn’t one of his tasks be to watch as much sports as possible? It’s [...]
Even Joe Buck doesn’t like baseball anymore —
Hail Mary Jane
It’s no secret that America’s interest in baseball has diminished a lot since the turn of the century. There are a lot of factors that go into this including the length of the games, the amount of games and of course the fact that all the best players out there either have used or have been accused of using steroids. People don’t know whether the games they are watching ...
Joe Buck vs. Tim McCarver in a HOF Debate —
The Big Lead
The utterly contemptible duo of Joe Buck and Tim McCarver, who are destined to ruin your MLB postseason with the fatal combination of pretension and smarmy (better them than Steve Lyons , right?), got into brief Hall of Fame debate over the weekend regarding Andy Pettitte. Dandy Andy’s HGH admission entered the discussion.
Since 1900, McCarver said, any pitcher whose record is 100 ...
Joe Buck Climbs on His High Horse to Take a Shot at Andy Pettitte —

I think every baseball fan, whatever their view of performance enhancing drugs in baseball, is interested in seeing how the players of the steroid era fare in voting for Cooperstown. Mark McGwire 's already on the ballot but the next 10 years will be full of fascinating cases because of the balance of great numbers and possibly nefarious means used to accumulate them. Most of us wonder about ...

Mets-Yankees. Fox Saturday Baseball. Joe Buck and Tim McCarver. Rainy day. Sounds like the perfect time for the Bleacher Creatures first ever running diary. We decided to take a page from the Bill Simmons handbook and record our minute-by-minute thoughts about this afternoon's game. Here's what transpired. 4:14- After a 20 minute or so rain delay, Joe Buck finally greets us to Shea ...

AwfulAnnouncing
He's baaaaaack! We all knew it was too good to be true folks. Joe Buck is back with his good pal Tim McCarver and they're calling a Yankees game. Kill me now. Also, I know it's tough to work out schedules with other networks ahead of time, but could we get a little variety? Good lord...it's New York and Chicago all the time these days.
Saturday:
Chicago Cubs at Chicago White Sox- ...
