Anyone hear Joe Buck

[joseephuss]

he isn't a baseball guy either. he is also the son of hall of fame sportscaster jack buck.

Hiring at Fox

In 1994, Buck was hired by Fox, and at the age of 25 became the youngest man ever to announce a regular slate of National Football League games on network television. Legend has it that Buck got his job at Fox in part because of a recommendation from his mother Carole. While at the Super Bowl, Carole Buck apparently collared Fox Sports head Ed Goren and told him "If you're putting together football, you can't do it without Joe!"

he didn't start doing baseball until 1996

He may have done FOX football before FOX baseball, he was doing baseball for St. Louis before he ever did football.

Edit:
His dad did both sports, too. I wouldn't consider him one or the other. He is a sports announcer.

pretty successful guy when you look at all he has done at his age.

I wish my dad was a famous sportscaster

Hard to believe no one mentioned Roy Hobbs' bat in the movie, "The Natural".

I did and so did Joe Buck

I was more worried about what I was seeing on the field than what Buck was saying.

aikman is gay,for real thats the word.i am not poking fun,i could care less,but i have heard this from many.

Why did he call him Wonder Boy? Because just got through talking about Romo favorite movie the Natural (Roy Hobbs bat was wonder boy) I don't think Buck was intending to mock Romo

I don't either..the remark came after the discussion of Malamud's famous character, Roy Hobbs.

I liked the nickname and hope it catches on..tho it's a little too reminiscent of the one Bill gave Curtis Martin, the reverse - "Boy Wonder".

"The Natural"? That's the only problem or issue I have with Romo.
Poor taste in movies!:laugh2:

Okay, those are fighting words.:shoot3:

I heard him say it, but at the time, I thought it was Aikman who made the comment

 

[baj1dallas]

I don't like Joe Buck too much.

But I like his World Series broadcast partner even less.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

Early in the game he was getting ready to mention Romo and he called him "Wonder Boy".

What a cocky jerk, .. who is he anyhow?

That was so uncalled for, what has Romo done to be mocked ?

I think Buck is in love with Aikman, he looks at him like a little brother looks up at his big brother.

And Aikman pays him no attention, just like a big brother does.

:laugh1:

Did anyone else hear him say that ?

Yeah that was a butthead comment, but I expect that crap from him so it didn't make me overly angry when he said it.

He just gets so giddy when we lose it is pitiful.

CC, did you not even bother to read the earlier posts on why he used the nickname, "Wonderboy"? There wasn't any malicious intent on Buck's part, I promise you.

WV Cowboy: Ask the mods to pull this ridiculous thread that you started and while you're at it, here's another suggestion - try to become better informed on whatever issue that's bothering you before posting a kneejerk reaction thread like this one.

Joe Buck is a Midwestern cornball ...he's looked at like a Clown NYC...a total clown...and a joke to his father's name.

Good for him then. He very likely would not be the only gay former NFL'er (aside from the one's you know about) -- I'd expect there are a number of gay men in the league right now.

I have pretty good gaydar and nothing about aikman makes me think he is gay. Even my gay friends say he isn't gay, and all they have to go on is the gaydar. its actually pretty sad how gay players have to hide it.
