Nobody is this stupid, surely? Opinion in this case, I guess, just means defamation.

Russian tanks are now painting H’s on the front.

Objection!! Already asked and answered in the Beer & Queso Forum.

The Astros tape NFL games without express written permission.

Our long national nightmare is over…

(unless he ends up doing baseball games for ESPN)

Most importantly, I hope this gets Smoltz out of the booth.

Just set up his chair two feet outside the booth, he’ll think that counts as being in there.

Astros take a 2-0 lead in a mid-April game

“HOUSTON. IS. BACK!!!”

I feel like MNF is a real step down from what he’s been doing, which is obviously TNF and a marquee Sunday game. Maybe he knows that 1 < 2, who knows. It wasn’t always like this, of course, but MNF is the least celebrated of all the evening NFL broadcasts.

Unpopular opinion and all that, but Joe Buck annoys me less and less as the years go by. I must be getting soft on you guys, and maybe it’s a function of there being so many other fuckwits out there doing games now, but Joe Buck is far from my most reviled broadcaster in either sport that he works.

John Smoltz, now, he can go fucking choke on a dick.

Johnson’s shtick is getting old and annoying.

Once gave smoltz’ Dad a jumpstart for his dead car battery in The Dome parking lot after an Astros-hated fucking bravos game. He was nice enough to give my buddy and me $20 for our gesture, because, as he wisely stated, “You young guys should have money for some beer.”
Nice guy.

I’ll always despise his son, though.

And the hated fucking bravos.

I agree totally re Buck. To me, he is a long way from Worrell bad.

I don’t like Buck’s personality but his play calling is good.

Since he’s 70, and has little white hair, I figure Buck must have been touched by God. Or at least Miss Clairol. It’s all I can think of any more when I see him.

It sure seems like a step down to go from calling the premier football and baseball games on FOX to move to Monday nights on ESPN. Joe Buck is never gonna be in the same league as Michaels and Nantz, but he’s far from the worst.
