Joe Buck got lit up the other day on his television show, and since then everybody’s been blasting his cred. The worst blog on the planet really happy he was embarrased on HBO.

Honestly, I don’t see all the hubbub about Buck. He’s a good, solid announcer; he knows the game of football very well; he tells me what’s going on in the game and everything else that could be relevant without getting in the way with smarmy opinions and goofy gimmicks (Gus Johnson). He’s got a good sense of humor and provides good anecdotes to game the game interesting and flowing nicely.

Most fans just don’t like Buck because they’re grumpy that he doesn’t follow sports as much as the blogosphere and got handed the broadcasting role for being the kid of a famous person. People need to stop being so cranky. If he wasn’t any good, FOX would have kicked him off broadcasting by now and he’d be going to school just like the rest of us. He can just afford not to.

On the other side, Artie Lange just isn’t funny. If he made fun of Buck and was funny I’d applaud him. But he sucks.
