Joe Buck Has An Emmy
May 3rd, 2006

I don't know if this is real.I guess some Sports Emmys were given out the other day… the good news is that TNT’s Inside the NBA won the award for Outstanding Studio Show. The bad news is that Joe Buck won the award for play-by-play.

I just… don’t… get it. I don’t understand why people like Joe Buck. I don’t know anyone who thinks he’s good, I don’t know anyone who enjoys him… I’m not even sure that I know anyone who doesn’t want to punch him in the face.

There are two things that I can’t stand when done by a play-by-play person, and they always seem to go hand-in-hand… 1) believe that they are a reason that people are watching, and 2) interject their own opinion. Joe Buck does both. He’s got Troy Aikman sitting next to him, and he can’t just leave it to Aikman to provide the football opinion… he’s got to do it himself. My favorite was when he was watching a team move up the field at the end of a half in their 2-minute offense, and he asked, in all seriousness, “Hey, why don’t they just do this all the time?

That award should be Marv Albert’s, every year.

And of course, there was this:

    I agree wholeheartedly. Not only that, he’s not funny, but he thinks he is!! Apparently he missed out on the gene pool. And he’s on Foxs First Team!!




  2. Toku Says:

    I can’t imagine a reason not to give the Emmy to Vin Scully every year, and then after he dies award it to him posthumously for the rest of time.

    If I was walked into a room, and behind one table there’s Joe Buck, and on another table there’s a million dollars, and I can either take the money or beat the shit out of Joe Buck…gotta say I’d beat the shit out of Joe Buck.

    Everytime I see that video it reminds me how much I hate Joe Buck.




  4. theotheruw Says:

    The only thing worse than Buck doing NFL is Buck doing postseason baseball. Him and McCarver - “that is disgusting.”




  5. Pacifist Viking Says:

    As a Viking fan and Packer hater, Buck did his best to taint one of the greatest moments of my life. Thanks, Joe!




  6. the mighty mjd Says:

    Good call on Vin Scully, Toku… that guy’s amazing.




  7. chris Says:

    Joe Morgan won ANOTHER emmy




  8. Rob Says:

    The Sports Emmys make the regular Emmys look like the…umm…I’m trying to think of a major entertainment award that has actual meaning but I cannot.




  9. Shobs Says:

    Joe Buck and Chip Caray are the oldest 37 year olds in history.




  10. Bouj Says:

    Buck’s football work doesn’t bother me as much as his baseball work. He has his tongue firmly in the balloon-knots of the Cardinals and Yankees, and that bias shows every postseason.




  11. rwn3f Says:

    Buck McCarver post season baseball is the single reason I got XM radio. I will never listen to those two jackasses ruin another game. How could you give him an emmy. He is terrible.

    Jon Miller. Now there’s class




  12. Adam Says:

    Seriously, they seem to give these things out to anyone. Joe Fucking Morgan has like 6. Joe Morgan!




  13. Toku Says:

    Thinking about it some more, it really is a shame that Joe Buck is such a tool, because I remember Jack Buck being “okay” at the play-by-play thing.

  14. The Dar Says:

    Wait a second! Did anybody else notice the banner behind Buck in that picture? Is he speaking at “The Association of Tight Asses?!?!” MJD, is that a doctored photo? What the hell is happening here?




  15. Kn8 Says:

    I see no reason to disagree with The Dar’s reading of that banner.




  16. The Big Picutre Says:

    joe buck may be the worst person at anything. our hate for him cannot be expressed in words.

    we did a piece on his talentless ass a while back…check it out:

  17. vandwagon Says:

    This guy who was so disgusted by Randy Moss also ws sucking up to that idiot Kenny Rogers during the All Star game last year. He’s a moron and people who like him are morons too.




  18. captaincorky Says:

    I wrote a similar post about the twerp. I swear, i did not read yours first, I thought the Marv Albert angle was going to be a fresh approach to attacking Buck




  19. lopey986 Says:

    Honestly, how has the banner only been mentioned twice. There is no way that can say anything other than the Association of Tight Asses…

    this is just awesome. i might wet my pants.




  20. Timothy Sayers Says:

    I wonder if Joe Buck really believes in the products he advertises? I am having a terrible problem with a convertible top on a brand new (problem first reported to them at 600 miles. Car now has 2,000 miles on it). This was purchased at Suntrup VW because I trusted them based on the commercials of Joe and Carol Buck. Suntrup has turned out to be the absolute worst I have ever encountered in Dealer response. Don’t the Buck’s realize that this kind of un-service reflects on their good name, and that of Jack Buck’s memory as well? Or, is it just, endorse anything for a buck! Tim Sayers/St. Louis
