McCarver & Buck = Cruelest Form of Torture

[Chocolate Milk]

Not to go too off-topic but, the badness of Buck/Mccarver combo, doesn't even hold a candle to the ESPN Sunday night football team. Buck/McCarver sound good compared to them. I supposed my standards have been lowered.

 

Man, you've completely lost me on this one. I think they are the best to listen to, by a fairly wide margin.

 

Same here. I love Mike Patrick.

 

Are you guys serious? Among the football community I belong to, these guys are one man short be being the four horsemen of the apocolapse. They are easily the worst football crew ever assembled. I think I would rather listen to a non-stop loop of babies crying during the game than these guys.

 

I agree that Patrick is serviceable but the Thiesman-McGuire combo is brutal. Sometimes I wish LT would go into the booth and break Theisman's leg again so he would just shut up. McGuire's "Let me tell ya, this guy, you see this guy right here? Let me tell ya, this guy right here, he's a football player! Ha Ha Ha! I mean, let me tell you, this guy, he likes to play football, ha ha!" is unbearable. They offer little insight of substance and pretend every play is the best play they have ever seen.

 

You two are honestly the first people I have encountered who actually like these guys. I usually watch the Sunday night games on mute (I do like to hear the sounds of the game though).

It didn't exactly get off to a roaring start when Joe Buck called Derrek Lee "Carlos" when going through the lineups....

they also put carpenter on the field with the AL team in their little pregame graphics. pay a 12 year old to do 5 seconds of proofreading and they might make a few less mistakes.

This topic was discussed during the football season, probably before you came around. I think there are several people that agree.

 

As a three person booth, I think all three work well together. I generally can't stand Joe Theisman, but I think he offers quite a bit from the booth. And, while Paul McGuire is the goof of the bunch, he is entertaining to me, and his banter with Patrick and Theisman is fun to listen to. The three of them strike a good balance of football vs. other talk.

 

Michaels and Madden are awful together and have been since day one. Simms and Gumbel are good, but I prefer a 3 man booth and those two can be dry on occassion. Collinsworth is a nob, but Aikman is continuing to grow in his role, I think.

 

The ESPN crew is the best for my money.

For the sake of this thread and for not rehashing old discussions, I'll just say that I couldn't possibly disagree with you more. I hate those guys and the butcher job they do probably more than I dislike anyone involved with the game of football.

Ha! You're scared.

 

Just kidding. I'll start a new thread in Social if you'd like to respond further.

It sounds like what people mostly don't like about Buck is that he is a Cardinals fan. If that's the case just admit that's the reason, instead of pretending like he is bad at his craft.

 

 

The reason a lot of people don't like Joe Buck is because he comes off as an arrogant, condensending guy with a lame sense of humor who is living off the family name - the same reasons a lot of people (myself included) did not care for Chip Caray.

 

I thought Jack Buck was an excellent announcer.
