Joe Buck Is Just No Longer Enthused About America's Pastime

Joe "Balls Deep" Buck is one of the most highly respected and high-profile sports announcers working today and, according to one plucky Midwesterner we all know, is also a true gentlemen when introduced to raisin-filled sports bloggers. Buck's voice is always a welcome addition, especially to baseball games, which seem a little more meaningful whenever he calls them. Plus, he gracefully overcompensates for the painful meanderings of Tim McCarver, who sometimes calls games like he's been huffing Pine-Sol. And there has yet to be a baseball game where a player has irked him while pantomiming a moon toward hostile fans. More »

    Media Approval Ratings: Joe Buck

    After reading KSK's anonymous and almost certainly not true (but still quite entertaining) tale of Joe Buck rollicking out in Vegas, we figured this was as good a time as any to check in with the ominpresent Fox broadcaster. More »

    Joe Buck Tries Out That Comedy Muscle


    This has been up for a while, but we just noticed it: If you were wondering what that "Joe Buck Talk Show" thing was gonna be like, here's a "comedy" "video" Buck made for Bud.TV. He interviews the quite amusing Paul Rudd. More »

    Alex Rodriguez Trying To Steal Jeter's Boyfriends

    So everyone's all in love with A-Rod again, considering he's the only thing keeping the frayed Yankees even competitive right now — the Yankees are under .500! Head for the hills! — and he's smacking the ball around every stadium like he just knows it's April. But he's not just trying to help himself on the field; he's also trying to make friends and influence people off it. More »

    Fox NFL Sunday Now Featuring Only Jimmy Johnson's Breasts

    Lost in all the hullabaloo yesterday about Joe Buck taking over as studio host for Fox NFL Sunday was this little nugget of info: "Wacky" female presence Jillian Barberie is leaving the show with little fanfare. And by "little fanfare," we mean it: She's not even mentioned in the press release that announced Buck's addition to the team. More »

    TBS Knows Baseball, ESPN Hopes Not To Forget

    So we're a day late on this, but we wanted to make sure we had all the details correct. As menacingly pointed out during the All-Star Game, FOX has re-upped for the rights to the World Series, Saturday games and one LCS for the next seven years. For Joe Buck and Tim McCarver haters, this is bad news, but it does assure that some baseball will be on free television for a while, whatever "free" means anymore. (Our stance as always: McCarver makes us cry, and we dislike Buck less than most do, particularly when he's rubbing Todd Zeile's feet.) More »

    Another Excuse To Want To Strangle Joe Buck

    Whatever your thoughts on Joe Buck — and we suspect we know where your feelings on this lie — he has just committed a sin most heinous to pretty much everyone we know: He trashes "Curb Your Enthusiasm," saying, "I am sure the same thing will happen to me in about 2009 when I finally chuckle at one of Larry David's lines from that unwatchable HBO series — I think I am the only person in this hemisphere who finds nothing on that show even remotely entertaining."

    The finals of the great Road From Bristol bracket (non-ESPN edition) has arrived, just in time for FOX's coverage of the two championship series. The final two competitors are both baseball broadcasters, one known for being an unabashed homer, the other bringing more ballast than a war correspondent. More »
