Joe Buck Is Not A Talk Show Host, But He Is A Fine Accessory In Seaside Decorating

Joe Buck is awful. And how about a giant middle finger to Favre for pulling this again? Will he EVER go away? And yes, he shares plenty of the blame when he goes on Joe Buck’s show or Greta Von Susteren’s show and fans the flames. But I hope he comes back. Two wins in the bag for my Bears.

I happened to flip through the channels that night and the show is different from other sports shows out there, and I think Joe did a very good job. How Artie Lang got on there is a big ?. If HBO cancels the show, its because of that guy. Hopefully that will be the last time anyone sees that bag of grease on T.V. Maybe the next episode will turn out better, and I’m praying that Chad Ochocinco won’t show up for another show. As soon as he opened that ridiculously looking excuse for a mouth, I could’t help myself but to mute it. I strongly believe he made me dumber after the first sentence that he spoke. Everyone else on the show did fine, so quit making it look like it was the worst show on T.V. that night. Joe Buck is not a comedian, so he didn’t try to be one on HIS sports show. He just screwed up and brought in 2 idiots that just shouldn’t be on a video camera.

I didn’t see the interview, but if Buck’s not supposed to be a comedian, then isn’t he supposed to at least be a MEDIOCRE interviewer?

Yet from what I understand, he didn’t even ask Favre the ONE question that any halfway decent interviewer with a SPINE would have asked Favre:

"How much of your desire to play again is about REVENGE against the Packers?"

Plain and simple. Man up and ask the tough question, Buck.

When Favre says "it’s all just because I just want to play," THEN ask, "Well why didn’t you just stay with the Jets then?"

There you go—THAT’S the interview.

I like Amish’s question, and I would add:

"How long have you been a weasel?"

"When will you stop presenting yourself as a good ol’ boy on a tractor when you are actually the biggest diva in the NFL?"

"If you somehow get back to the playoffs will you remember not to throw it to the other team?"

and

"How does it feel to quarterback a team where everyone hates you?"

Joe Buck is a boring, lousy, prissy announcer who wouldn’t have a job if it wasn’t for his old man.  How he got this show is a testament to how many people are out there with no life.  He’s like a reality show called, "How Bored Can We Get?"  Hopefully, this will add to his overexposure and hasten his departure from the big time.

this whole Favre thing is SO scripted…  his going on the 1st episode of Joe Bucks show…  yuck!

joe buck thinks we tune in to watch him on sundays…talk about ego…jeez buddy…you do play-by-play…why do you think you are so interesting???

Artie Lang was the only enjoyable part of that show.

I personally can’t stand Joe Buck.   I wish the World Series would move to a different network because of him and McCarver.   [Actually, I like McCarver better].    If Buck is doing an NFL game, I just switch the ballgame on CBS or NBC or a replay of a previous day’s NCAA game.  Anything but this guy.  He’s not 1/100th of what his dad was. 

AND last thing:   He’s not 1/1000th of what Bob Costas is.  Is he actually replacing Costas? or is this a temporary, interim thing?

OK, so Joe Buck is an aweful announcer.  Although alot better than Dennis Miller was on MNF.

Costas is gone completely.  He left HBO for the MLB Network which allows him to cover his first love, baseball.  Buck is a full time replacement.  That is, he was.  Whether or not he keeps the role for long is up in the air.

People at HBO should read this blog and the ensuing posts from angry member of TSN. Does anyone actually like Joe Buck? Anyone at all? Anywhere? Why do networks keep cramming him down our throats? He stinks. No one likes him or his high horse. Fox is practically daring us to watch their MLB and NFL games by involving him in both.

Joe Buck in the rental car commercials beebopping along tossing his head back and forth reminds me of the way Vinny Barbarino (John Travolta for you youngsters) walked when on Welcome Back Kotter.  This cat takes himself and his opinion way too serious…and really…no one else does.  Another mute candidate!

Now I havent seen the interview yet but I did hear some of the audio clips from it and I gotta say that Artie was great. And just for those who don’t know like the guy who wrote this article, Artie had a career before he ever got on Howard Stern, if you don’t know Artie was on the first 2 seasons of MADtv and had several different movie roles. I just think that Joe Buck is in over his head, your HBO you should expect this kinda thing to happen. Great job Artie!!

artie lange did kill. You have no idea what you are talking about cause that show was god awful. Joe Buck had him on for one reason and one reason only, so that his show got more free pub w artie goin back to work and talk to his boss about the show. Joe Buck sucks, has always sucked and will continue to suck.

what a robot!!

Artie was about the only funny thing about the show, aside from the notion that Joe Buck has a personality. 

Simply put… there should be an Artie Lange Show, and Joe Buck should have peaked at college baseball coverage or something. Aside from the fact that I don’t believe Buck is Jewish… the fact that he has a show really makes you wonder about that whole Jews-control-Hollywood thing. All things serve Yahweh, I suppose.

Give the show to Artie! He was the only person that made that show interesting!

Im not much of an Artie fan lately but I must say that he kept this show afloat.  It was quite possibly, the worst pile of crap for a sports show that i have ever seen.

Has anybody considered that it might be possible that Mr. Buck stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night and that is why they are letting him do the show?

I am a fan of neither Joe Buck nor Artie Lange.  This show was totally unwatchable when Artie wasn’t on the screen. I’m convinced that Artie was only put on this show to drum up some interest (read his post-show comments).

The driftwood was actually more animated than Buck.  I am forced to wonder what they might do next to get people to watch.  Perhaps a Tim McCarver wardrobe malfunction? Yeeeccccchhhhh!!!!

Artie was by far the only reason to watch this fiasco of a show.

I like Joe Buck, I think he does a good job and I enjoy watching the games he calls. I’ll tell ya who drives me crazy though - Chris Collinsworth, as much as I love football I’ll do everything I have to not to listen to him, unfortunately he’s friggin everywhere.
