One of my best friends is Paul Rudd, and he's been in just about every one of Judd Apatow's movies.

I started in radio. I enjoy the mental gymnastics that go along with matching voice to picture and vice versa and trying to accent the action as opposed to provide all of the action through my words. And that's really what play-by-play is.

Every time you see kid and hear kid, you think, man, I have to not sound like a kid.

No fat batboy is invisible.

I think by its very nature, it's redundant, you know, being the play-by-play guy on television.
Joe Buck
Image
I think he [Tony LaRussa] legitimately believes what he says. I don't agree with him. But I think he's being as honest as he can be.

I was always a 'grass is greener' kind of guy.

It's a different world for those of us who are doing this for a living. Certainly a lot different than my dad had to deal with when he was calling games on a national level for CBS. It's just a different world. I'm not saying it's better or worse, there's just a lot more access.

I think when you do radio there's a certain amount of freedom that when you walk in and sit down and turn the mic on, it's you. It's all you.

I think I enjoy my job more now than I did when I started. When I started in 1996 on a national level, I was 27 and part of me was scared to death.

You have to be true to the game you're covering, whether its being lite at times - I certainly try to be that way - but it is limiting because you're fitting it in around what's going on in the game.

Image
But I tell people all the time that if you can do the job, then there's a spot for you. I refuse to believe that there isn't any room in this business. People leave jobs and jobs open up every year. If you can do the job, you'll find your way into the broadcast booth.

I'm the luckiest guy in the world to be my parents' son.
Joe Buck
Image
When I'm doing TV, it's more of a choreographed dance, in a way. So I've got to follow the pictures, or the pictures have to follow me.
Joe Buck
Image
There's a little bit more of a freedom when you're doing radio play-by-play as opposed to television. I prefer the television side of it.

You have to do well on third downs.

I think most people associate me with my dad.

It's kind of my intention to be myself on the show. My main priority on FOX is to do play-by-play. Nobody's tuning in to listen to me. If I didn't show up to do the games, people would watch, and the ratings probably wouldn't be all that different. That's not why people are watching.

You have to trust yourself.

I think sometimes, you have to pick your spots about when a game gets intense or when the game's outcome is pivoting in that moment.
