Joe Buck got lit up the other day on his television show, and since then everybody’s been blasting his cred. The worst blog on the planet really happy he was embarrased on HBO.
Honestly, I don’t see all the hubbub about Buck. He’s a good, solid announcer; he knows the game of football very well; he tells me what’s going on in the game and everything else that could be relevant without getting in the way with smarmy opinions and goofy gimmicks (Gus Johnson). He’s got a good sense of humor and provides good anecdotes to game the game interesting and flowing nicely.
Most fans just don’t like Buck because they’re grumpy that he doesn’t follow sports as much as the blogosphere and got handed the broadcasting role for being the kid of a famous person. People need to stop being so cranky. If he wasn’t any good, FOX would have kicked him off broadcasting by now and he’d be going to school just like the rest of us. He can just afford not to.
On the other side, Artie Lange just isn’t funny. If he made fun of Buck and was funny I’d applaud him. But he sucks.

I’m mad about the Super Bowl, so no thanks on the NFL. I can’t stand Pittsburgh and the last play was an incomplete pass, not a fumble.

Ken Wizzenhunt sounded clinically depressed in the postgame interview.
So many people have called this offseason for the Brewers a total loss. I don’t agree with that.

With the Brewers not in the running to make any additional moves on the pitching side of the ball, it’s safe to say that I can continue working on my Brewers 2009 pitching preview. With an anticipated ample amount of time at my job, I should be able to work on it in my free time, so expect it to come out in a week or so. That’s also when school starts up again, so hopefully I can pull an Aaron Gleeman and continue this blog while studying and paying for my tuition.
Since the pitching preview will take up quite a bit of my time, and there still is no news coming out of Brewerland, I’ll keep this post short.
