Joe Buck Prefers the Bachelorette to Baseball and Does Not Really Enjoy Calling Games

I knew there was a reason why I have always been so down on Joe Buck, and now, after hearing him talk to Colin Cowherd today (via Awful Announcing), I no longer have to blame it on: "works and apparently enjoys the company of Tim McCarver."

As you will hear on the following clip, Joe got on the horn with The Herd and basically said that he does not even really pay attention to the games he covers anymore (1:30) and that he, as a professional sports announcer, prefers the Bachelorette to Major League Baseball games on a normal evening at home.




Wow. I'm not even sure what to say to that. First of all, it's beyond irritating that he gets paid an otherworldly amount of money to broadcast these games but apparently does not really enjoy it. If that's the case, Joe, step down. Go do something else. Host the Bachelorette for a season. But please don't patronize the fans.

More importantly though, is the fact that the two lead announcers for the two lead baseball stations on our moving picture screens have now shown a tremendous disdain for actually engaging in any joyful preparation for their job. And you thought Randy Moss was disgraceful.
