He will simply call the games with Aikman...

This is a good move...

That show missed James Brown in the worst way...and the Buck overkill was too much for me...World Series, Main Game w/Aikman, Pregame Show, Postgame OT...etc etc...

Curt Menefee is the new permanent host.

My god, you guys like Menefee? Are you deaf? Geeeezussss.
Yes, I'm deaf. :lolBIG:

Seriously. And yep, I'm retarded in opening a thread about broadcasters. :)

Captions only do some justice because I don't have to worry about how the broadcaster/game hosts say the stuff in their own style as I just see how they WORD it. I have agreed with many here about some obvious ones with their donky ways of saying stuff, but I don't really know/pay attention to too many names like Menefee. No idea who it is.

Agree, that was way too much Buck...

I don't like or dislike him...he is pretty sharp about in game situations so from that standpoint I can atleast respect him.

He does have an annoying way about him, maybe it's the second generation/spoiled , my dad was a legendary announcer syndrome going on too...

He is a very polished announcer though, it's more about his personality then his actual calling of the game IMO, it does seem like most don't care for him.

Fox's best team J.B., Howie, Jimmy and Terry

Buck has a great voice and knows his stuff but he just comes off as an ass at times. At least to me.

I went off him in a big way in the 02 WS with him and McCarver's NL Bias.

Completely agree. He is an arrogant, condescending jerkoff.

Calvin, at least for me, it isn't his voice or how he announces games, it is the dismissive, arrogant and condescending attitude the f*er has. Best example was the "disgusting act" of Randy Moss' fake moon. Give me a f*ing break you jerkoff, he acted like someone was molesting a child or something. Get off your puritanical high horse. His head would have exploded if he announced the Man City game where Joey Barton mooned the opposing team's fans. I hate that f*ing guy. I can't stand 90% of the announcers in the US.

Agreed. Joe Buck is one annoying mother.

He does know his stuff, but his personality and frat boy humor annoys the hell out of me. He is WAY too overexposed on Fox.

He must be slipping the high hard one to the suits over at Fox HQ in LA.

Hate to tell you, but a high up at Fox wants to make him the "next Johnny Carson" as soon as Buck wants out of sports broadcasting.

There is no "next Johnny Carson."

Buck is an asshole, and nobody will watch anything he is involved with unless it's correlated with a ballgame.

Buck is starting to phase himself out completely from Cardinals telecasts...

I think he has 6-10 home games this season w/Hrabosky on FoxSports Midwest. Number keeps getting lower each year...

Remember when he used to do virtually all of 'em...and early in his career he would also do radio.

Heck...I was surprised that he did not call a BCS game for FOX.

I get sick of him trying to be a comedian in the booth...really does alot of that w/baseball games.

You are 100% right, he acted like Moss tried to knife somebody and like a typical broadcaster did not realize fans do that in GB as the bus drives away.

He tries to crack jokes every time and Aikman seems like he wants to say just shut the fuck up and call the game.

Even after having it explained to him (how Moss was mocking the GB fans that always moon the Packers bus) he wouldn't back down on his feigned "disgust".

Joe is a prude and always came off as a bit too righteous. That sealed the deal.

He was also blatantly sucking Cardinals cock for a good 3 months there last season. Really, it was disgusting. Fuck Joe Buck.

I'm begging somebody to give me an argument as to why he still has a job right now besides his father. Please, argue with me.
