About Joe Buck’s voice

http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/29/about-joe-bucks-voice/

This is not some personal shot at Buck, a pile-on bash of his broadcast style, or some cold-hearted jab regarding his medical condition. It’s simply a realization that this condition is adversely affecting FOX broadcasts. It is his job is to be the voice of the sports he’s broadcasting and his voice itself continues to be a distraction — sometimes a serious distraction — from the game itself.

If he had some sort of illness that affected his ability to work a full schedule but which would not substantially impact his ability to do his job when he could work it would be a totally different story. But this is different. This isn’t a matter of making an accommodation for someone whose temporary medical condition makes the logistics of doing the job a bit more challenging. It’s a situation in which the temporary medical condition is adversely affecting the quality of the work itself and for which there doesn’t appear to be an accommodation which can fix it.

:puke:

broadcasters. They drive me up the wall. With Buck talking like he knows the game, and McCarver, who actually played the game adding ZILCH, ZIPPO, NADA, to the commentary.

NOR do I watch football games that have Buck as an announcer. I grew up listening to his ole man Jack doing the play by play, and once you have that, you know THAT acorn fell FAR from the oak.
