We have talked to him before, and have found him very funny, and he wishes Viking fans would forgive him for the 2005 call on Randy Moss. He is not a Packer or Rodgers fan, just likes good games and players.

So, we all know now that he and Troy Aikman (we all now his history on VikeFans.com) will call our game on January 14th. So, I beg you, watch this parody that Joe did on himself before SB 48 in NY. I dare you not to laugh and see him in a different light (FYI - NYG fans also think he is biased agains them)

LMAO still funny.

It's not only Buck...over the many years I've watched the Vikings, it seems a lot of other announcers always talk up the opponents. And by the some chance the Vikings lose, the announcers are quick to point it out as "I told you so" thing.
You can see the bias in most sportscasters when discussing the Vikings.

I don't hate Joe Buck. There are some announcers who I find annoying on air, but I don't hate them. Actually Joe's not that bad.

I'll be at the game, wont have to listen to him or Aikman Smile

Agree. I think it's time to let go of the grudge Vikings Fans have against him.

And we have all said things we regretted later

So next we have to like Rodgers?

Just kidding, a lot of people hated Howard Cossel. I think fans are super sensitive about their teams.

I don't hate him, just find him annoying, before and after that "disgusting act"
If you can't say something nice.../ I'm sure he is well respected in his industry...blah blah woof woof...
however

He & Pat Sajek remind me of each other. Capable at their tasks...
"Give the wheel a spin" & "Touchdown!" & they both do their dry self effacing David Letterman imitations, but fall flat,
like their short lived talk shows

Mute on Brothers !

Theres a great story about Cosell doing an interview with Fran Tarkenton outside of the hotel at the 75 SB. Hilgenberg and Page dumped buckets of water on them from the second floor, Howard never got over it.
