More quotes by 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.

I think Jeff [Van Gundy] is really, really good and fun to listen to. And I would be disappointed if - I know he offered to not be a part of the broadcast - he wasn't on the air. We'd all miss something. I think the [brother situation] adds the human element.
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.

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.

And Johnny Manziel is only in a snickers commercial.
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.
Joe Buck
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.
Joe Buck
I'm the luckiest guy in the world to be my parents' son.
Joe Buck
One of my best friends is Paul Rudd, and he's been in just about every one of Judd Apatow's movies.

You have to do well on third downs.

Robert Kraft, a modern day Zoolander.

No fat batboy is invisible.

I think most people associate me with my dad.

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
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.
