Oh my god! Joe Buck talking about Baseball instead of what celeb is at the game or what movie he saw?

Question

Yeah i know the game is early so i will probably be dissapointed eventually when he goes back to his pathetic announcing which is mostly based on what Hollywood celebrity is at the game or what movie & tv show he saw.. He makes me mute the tv almost everytime he announces.

Answer 1

You too huh. Buck is and will be the posterboy for how "NOT" to announce a game. He'd be better off as a late night talk show host the way he plugs celebs. Baseball has its own celebs, he should try knowing more about them. That's what makes Kruk and Kuip so underrated. They are the champeens of Baseball announcing and color. GO GIANTS!!

Answer 2

What's sad is there must be TV and movie-tie-ins with the national sports coverage. It may not be what the announcer wants to do, but it's cross-promoting events carried on cable/satellite or a movie the company is putting out.

Remember the Spiderman 2 bases that MLB nixed because of complaints by fans and the media?

And truth be told, a lot of those stars probably want to be somewhere else, but sports has become an advertising venue for other things because - I'm certain - fans are more likely to support sponsors than others, no matter who or what they are.

Answer 3

Please don't get me started on bad announcers I rather listen to Joe Buck then the horrible WGN guys on both sides the TBS ones as well as the Mariners announcers. Also if you want the worst announcer in all of sports that would go to Bill Walton.

Answer 4

It's network TV.that means that Buck will have to ramble on about the shows on that same network and you know that the network will send the stars of those shows to those games for the exposure and advetising. It's called marketing.

Answer 5

I'd rather he just talk about the celebs. He knows more about them than he does baseball, about which he knows almost nothing.
