Buck and Aikman have been a team for 22 years now. They have exceeded the tenure of the legendary pairing of Pat Summerall and John Madden.

    Joe Buck only got his first gig due to nepotism. How he’s managed to keep it is just beyond me. Although, thanks to David Croft now being on ESPN, he is no longer the absolute dirt worst commentator on American TV.

    As opposed to Romo who I think has gotten significantly worse as he started to care less, Aikman has gotten so much better now that he cares less. He’s less afraid to criticize QBs who are struggling (even when it’s the star QBs), which in turn makes his praises that much more poignant. That’s not to say it’s super blatant—he is still a media personality, after all—but it’s way more than others, which is nice.

    I call him Buck Joe. My dad hated his dad and called him Buck Jack. He was the announcer for the St Louis Football Cardinals. Cowboys had a player named Pettis Norman that Buck always called Norman Pettis. Then he had that cringy “Looky there” call. Aikman is a monotone moron. , HE ran a curl route. , HE should have caught that. I was taught not to do that in elementary school and it drives me crazy. Equivalent to “We was going.”
