think Nance and Phil Simms is better. Phil has a way of relating to the casual fan watching and explains it in a way we can understand and he knows when to shut up.
You can be a blow hard and still be good. Nance does everything. Great voice. Been around forever. He’s a pros pro. Still full of himself.
Well, I guess the enthusiasm was more on Madden's side, Pat's style was more of a presenter, the focus was on the game, the players, the event, he had a way of making you feel in the Roman Colliseum about to watch the gladiators battle it to the death, I was just a kid, so I'm not objective at all, but boy, sundays we were on!
What's this "we," cowboy?
I think l heard him call 2 games this year. I didn't really pay attention to the first game but the second game l definitely noticed a lack of enthusiasm. I just thought maybe he was having an off day...
I agree, I don't like the outside stuff either, but that's the world we live in today. With social media, we're gonna hear every outside story, just like with Brady's divorce
This is where it's at for me too. When he burst onto the scene with that prediction stuff, it was refreshing. Now, it's like, "what else you got?" Even the predictions are off in big time games. Last weekend was the second time he was wrong in a Championship Game about a big play he predicted wasn't going to be run by a team to draw the defense off sides and the offense did run the play. I said it after the first time he did that which was to let the big moments in games write themselves. No need to be all in there adding drama that's there already.
Buck is annoying at times. Not because he doesn't praise Dallas but he seems to not be able to let his bias go when calling games. Either way, they are the best. No team will be perfect everyone will always pale in comparison to Madden and Summerall...then 20 years from now we will be complaining nothing was as good as Aikman and Buck....
Lol @ bias. Prove that you can see inside his head. Buck is a smart guy. He knows the chatter and gets under fans' skin to keep them talking about him. Pissed off viewers watch way more than unbothered viewers do because the pissed off ones keep going back over and over and over again to "prove" that what they see confirms their gripe so they can be validated in their whining and can co-whine with others. Politicians, TV news, and sports media know this better than anyone.
I've heard his MLB broadcasts and its a completely different way he carries himself. I don't know if its a bias or what it is. I was giving him credit saying it was a bias. Maybe he's just clueless at times. I don't know. But there are certain athletes he can't contain himself on. He never liked Randy Moss and TO. I guess the "diva" outspoken guy was his thing for disliking. And if you wear a star...he can't stand you. But if you're Brady you walk on water. He seems to love Russell Wilson for some reason even when he sucks though.
This best captures the games I've heard him call. I dunno, were we all too taken by that KC/NE game where he seemed to know exactly what play Brady would call before he called it? I agree this last season not only was he wrong a lot, but
Are you dating Joe Buck?
