3 AnswersMovies1 decade agoIs Joe Buck the worst sports announcer on television today?
I was just watching a replay of the Giants-Eagles playoff game on DVR today and I remembered I can't stand him.
Four worst ever (in my opinion):
1) Joe Cluck
2) Dan Dickdork
3) Greg Bumble
4) Dim McCarver (Joe Cluck's baseball partner)
Also, does Joe Cluck dumb down Troy Aikman or should he be #5 on my list.
Any suggestions for this list?

He doesn't have my respect any longer.
