More quotes by Joe Buck
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.
Joe Buck
And Johnny Manziel is only in a snickers commercial.
Joe Buck
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.
Joe Buck
I'm the luckiest guy in the world to be my parents' son.
Joe Buck
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.

No fat batboy is invisible.
Joe Buck
Part of me was always trying to prove that I belonged and prove that I deserved the job and prove that I could handle it. And that takes the fun out of it.

I got hired by the Cards when I was 21, and I could handle the job, but for the most part, I got hired because I was somebody's kid. When you start that way, you have a lot to prove.

Joe Buck
You have to do well on third downs.
Joe Buck
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.
Joe Buck
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.
Joe Buck
I was always a 'grass is greener' kind of guy.
Joe Buck
You have to trust yourself.
Joe Buck
Five years ago, I wasn't getting questions [about blogs and the internet] from the TV/radio critic of the New York Times.
Joe Buck
You know what you gotta do cowboy?
Joe Buck
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.
