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.

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

[–] ffauschma@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think this is what tenured means

[–] edvo0881@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] MannyGoldstein0311@alien.top 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.

[–] Sorry-Spite9634@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Squissyfood@alien.top 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

[–] kbean826@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

And they’re awful.

"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

[–] ReflectionItchy2701@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Honestly, I like them a lot. I chuckled when Aikman said sarcastically "My Texas Rangers" and Buck was like "Huh, now they're your rangers? Name me 10 players of that team. Your rangers...".^^

[–] ThaNorth@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] GBPBJP@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Can we talk about how insufferable Charles Davis is while we’re talking about announcers?

[–] Trillzionaire90@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

About as boring as Vanilla Ice Cream

[–] NYPD-BLUE@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

I still respect Madden and Summerall more.

[–] a_toadstool@alien.top 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

[–] Nfl_porn_throwaway@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] gothackedfml@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

we truly are in the darkest time-line

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

[–] __I_AM_HUMAN__@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Buck hates the Vikings. I hate Buck.

[–] studio28@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

oh, FFS 🤦‍♂️

[–] poshmarkedbudu@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

I'm getting old

[–] riskiermuffin27@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

best commentator duo in the game

[–] nevereverclear@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] RellenD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

22 years? Really? WOW I'm old

[–] Quicksilver7837@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (4 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.

Madden is obviously GOAT

[–] big_drifts@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] AnthonyBarrHeHe@alien.top 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

[–] NYY15TM@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] schoolairplane@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] StraightCashHomey13@alien.top 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

[–] Tight_Ad3092@alien.top 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”

[–] bigfootloc@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The amount of Joe Buck love makes me sick.

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

[–] Kara_Del_Rey@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Yep, and him and Aikman constantly deep throating Rodgers in every Packers game was nauseating. They also had very strong biases. Buck hates KC, Aikman ironically despises the Cowboys, etc

[–] into_the_wenisverse@alien.top 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.

congrats please stay on as long as possible so I can hear less of collinsworth

[–] MrMotherOfDragons1@alien.top 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.

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

[–] tjhensman@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] Your__Dog@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] shit_fucks_you_up@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

i like them. they seem like good bros. professional enough to cover when they need to and also sometimes saying real shit.

[–] allegedtuna32@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I always love hearing Troy slowly die inside whenever the Cowboys lose to an idiotic mistake and Joe scorning the game if it's a blowout.

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

[–] Tsunami-Papi_@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

goats idc . I luv their commentary

[–] superpie12@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah..but they suck so bad.

Thanks for making me feel old!

[–] Wally450@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

Joe Buck is one of the best.

[–] VinosD@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

They should retire to celebrate.
