Comments on: Why is Joe Buck only funny when he’s not broadcasting sporting events?

I have to say that with as many reporters, broadcasters, and public figures that get nailed by PC crybabies, it’s gotta be hard to try to improv during a game for fear that if you don’t just stick to the script, you may say something that seems harmless at the time but will come back to bite you.

By simply broadcasting exactly what is happening on the field and not adding any flare or color to it, he is reducing the risk that he may offend someone, as ridiculous as that sounds considering it’s sports we’re talking about, but none the less, this is the world in which we live.

I think he’s just playing it safe. In the career he is in, I also think it’s a wise choice.

It is tough being funny when working baseball with Tim McSelf-Promotion.

For football games it is like Buck is star struck about being in the booth with Aikman – either that or he is unsure when the concussions will start having an adverse effect on Troy-Boy.
