We Know Viking Fans Hate Joe Buck, But....
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)
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 :)

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.
Screw Joe Buck!
It’s easy to make fun of yourself. However, it’s more than just the Randy Moss call. He should go back and watch old broadcasts of games and see how they just called the game, and left the cheering to the viewers.
Howard Cosell was the start and Joe Buck is the result.
Also, just for good measure, Fuck Troy Aikman!

Ah, a long-timer, who remember the Troy Aikman incident
Fuck troy Air he was on fire I would not piss on him

Ha, yep. I was sensitive about the Vikings/Seahawks playoff game a couple of years ago. I still remember Cris Collinsworth being so surprised that the game was competitive. And I really remember him saying that the game was "supposed to be a laugher".
It was like I was personally insulted :#

Maybe another thing Buck could do to help us forget, or at least forgive is to come out on air and say he over reacted to what Moss did and acknowledgr that Packer fans mooned the team busses and that is why Moss did it.He acted like a holier than thou A hole!

I agree, when I fuck up I was raised to man up and make embeds by admitting I was wrong so... in 2 weeks Joe has is chance.
Sorry, but that does not prove that he is not a Packers fan. All, and I mean all, indications show that he is a Packers fan. In his commentary you can actually pick up notes that are telling.

All I can say is that I had a 15 min talk with him. He's not the bad guy you think he is, but I know I can't change that impression.
My brother was out to dinner with his wife in NYC years ago. My brother was extremely wealthy ... it was at a top restaurant. My brother was waiting for his table and the restaurant let Joe in without reservations. Joe invited my brother to dine with him and his hot date (wife?).
He would not let my brother pay. And he was the nicest guy throughout dinner.
I've heard him interviewed by Howard Stern and he was fine, but his fake moral outrage against Moss isn't something he deserves to recover from. I definitely cringe whenever he announces any of our games.
