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.

I can’t stand them, but I am a NY Giants fan.

That doesn't mean they're the best.

Tirico and Gruden were the best of all time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Joe Buck is one of the best.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I hated Joe Buck until I saw his show with Artie, I sorta like him now.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

goats idc . I luv their commentary

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Buck is fine, Troy Aikman is trash, he needs to spend less time getting liquored up and more time reading the game notes.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

22 years? Really? WOW I'm old

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think this is what tenured means

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

How sad. These two bums couldn’t hold a candle to Summerall and Madden.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Joe Buck is and always will be a west coast hater. Can’t wait for him to leave broadcasting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Buck has gotten better over the years and Aikman has gotten worse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I still respect Madden and Summerall more.

The amount of Joe Buck love makes me sick.

His monotone calls make golf announcers seem like they're on cocaine.

we truly are in the darkest time-line

If only Gruden hadn't taken the Raiders job.

About as boring as Vanilla Ice Cream

I love the duo. And joe buck gets a lot of hate but honestly he’s so knowledgeable in many sports! Kinda the new mvp broadcasters. Al and cris were pretty great - sad they broke up

Buck hates the Vikings. I hate Buck.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It’s crazy the drop off announcers have. Romo was stellar and shit the bed. Olson is awful. Baby’s just doesn’t care anymore

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Buck is the best commentator in all of sports and I look forward to him every week

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I think buck and aikman are pretty solid actually. Yeah they have some moments but for the most part they’ve been good imo

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

best commentator duo in the game

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

This is my personal favourite duo to listen while watching a game. I can’t stand Collinsworth.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm getting old

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I’m a fan of Mike Tirico. He has this thing called a personality. Buck could never.

“Mitchell… Mitchell… Mitchell”

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They're so much better than the old ESPN crew. Man those other guys sucked bad. Those 3 guys would just never shut up while at the same time offering no commentary of value.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I liked Gruden and that other guy

I love these two. You’d think I’d hate Aikman given he was Cowboys QB, but he never indicates it in his commentary. It’s probably partly due to the Cowboys continually underperforming every year since 1995 so he generally is disgusted with them lol

oh, FFS 🤦‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Madden is obviously GOAT

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Collinsworth: now there’s two guys who who brought us the razzle dazzle for years

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Joe Buck is great at everything he calls and has gotten better And better over the years. Aikman is a boring dummy that adds absolutely nothing to the broadcast

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

(Well actually) those first three years Collinsworth was also in the booth

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Kevin Harlan et al is the best in the business, hands down. But I'd put these two as a close second.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Aikman is the best color commentator by far because he understands the very important rule of shutting the fuck up most of the time

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The best call these guys ever did was the professionalism and authenticity they brought to the Damar Hamlin incident. They managed the situation well despite clearly being as spooked as everyone else watching.

Honestly for me, its either muted with them on, or watching the Spanish broadcast. Rather listen to things I don't understand then listen to them.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That’s pretty crazy cause they could do another 22 if they want to be as old as Pat and John.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And they’re awful.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I used to HATE Buck’s play-by-play, & he was always the worst commentator to me, until about the last 5-7 years or so, Buck’s really grown on me. I dunno if that’s him changing or me, but he does seem to have gotten much better the last few years & he’s actually pretty funny & likable in interviews away from the games.

Also the best team at the moment. Their chemistry is awesome.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

And I’ll never understand why. Both of them fucking suck, beyond boring.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah..but they suck so bad.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Right? I can’t stand Aikman. He doesn’t add anything, just points out the most obvious thing happening on the field and just sounds… dumb?

"They wrote me off and I didn't write back." - Joe Buck gentrifying the best quote of last season from Seattle QB, Geno Smith: https://youtu.be/3ehiH9Wv7S0?si=o7sZ92hryasFeMIs

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

People shit on Joe Buck for no reason. I think this is the best announcing crew in football

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

They should retire to celebrate.
