Anyone hear Joe Buck

[AbeBeta]

Guess what?

I wasn't referring to the movie reference. I was referring to him crying about supposed "missed penalties" against the Cowboys when in fact they were getting called for plenty of them.

I was also referring to his past coverage of the team and the joy he shows when the Cowboys lose.

If you can't see it, that's your problem.

I do.

Every fan thinks every announcer is biased against their team -- happens all over the league. Get over it.

You get over it.

I think Buck sucks and should do us all a favor and stick to his true love of baseball.

Sucks is not the same as being biased.

Do we really need that? After all we already have the Less-Than-Average-Intelligence Zone which YoMick owns, operates, and moderates.

P.S. Only dorks laugh at their own jokes.

This thread has amazing longevity considering it started with the initial poster completely misunderstanding what Joe Buck said.

I call it biased when an announcer is trying to point out penalties he thinks should be called over and over again against one particluar team.

And he also sucks.

 

[LD Fan]

he is the son of a former broadcaster

he is smart arsed but not a jerk, I didn't take that comment at all badly. pretty sure it was a reference to a movie

maybe you have a thin skin or a romo crush?

Actually he seems more like a Nerd to me. He's the most over rated guy on TV. I can't believe I'm saying this but I would rather listen to Theisman (I expect him to be goofy) than an arrogant nerd.

Probably reflects a widespread and mostly negative opinion of Buck.

Maybe so, but Buck is still relatively harmless compared to Theismann, Corhieser and even Madden. Buck's commentary often leaves something to be desired, but at least he doesn't have the obnoxious way of delivering it the other guys do.

Get over it guys - he's just a harmless announcer who really isn't very contoversial.

Nobody said they were going in to therapy or jump off the bridge because of it.

Evidently some here just need to get this off of their chest. :laugh1:

Maybe they aren't suicidal, but 5 pages of this seems a little obsessive.

No requirement to read those 5 pages either.....

Judging from the last game, there were a ton of penalties that we did get away with -- it should make sense that if one team has a huge penalty edge that the refs are going to miss more for them than for the team that is playing more in line with the rules. It isn't like Buck is producing the feed for the game -- he's not the one running the replays -- he's just commenting on what he sees. I saw a ton of uncall penalties on us as well.

But it's OK for an "unbiased" announcer to be looking for them on one side of the ledger?

Please.

For whatever reason, the guy doesn't like the Cowboys.

And that's fine. He has that right.

But when he interjects it into his broadcasts he's stepping over the line and alienating some of the fans who are watching the product.

To me the guy comes off like a smart-mouthed little weasel who never played the game. Nothing more, nothing less.

So you are citing as evidence the fact that the feeds he was given to comment on clearly contained 2 or 3 calls that were missed on the Cowboys? I honestly didn't see many non-calls against the Skins. We played a sloppy game and could have been penalized more. That's not evidence of bias.

Of course, since you think he's a "smart-mouthed little weasel" you might think about your own biases -- maybe you are simply looking for a reason to hate the guy.

Sure, that must be it.

I don't share your opinion so I therefore must be wrong, right?
