Joe Buck is the stupidest man alive

[abomb]

He keeps calling SD KR Craig Davis, "Buster Davis". Idiot.

Uh, that is his nickname.

Uh, that is his nickname.

Ok ok, but he is still an idiot for countless reasons.

JOE BUCK SHOULD STICK TO BASEBALL​

Part of the problem with being a smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all is that, when said smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all makes a mistake, folks who don't like the smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all will focus far more heavily on the gaffe than if the person committing the error were not a smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all.​

Though we really don't have an opinion one way or the other on the smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all named Joe Buck, we've been flooded with e-mails regarding the fact that he continues to refer to Chargers receiver Craig Davis as "Buster Davis" during the Week One game between San Diego and Chicago.​

Buck is at least in the ballpark; Buster Davis was a third-round pick in the 2007 draft. But there's no reason for him to be confusing Craig Davis with Buster Davis; Buster was selected by the Cardinals, cut on September 1, and signed to the Lions' practice squad. He has no connection to the Chargers or the Bears.​

The e-mails we received complained about Buck calling Craig "Buster" on multiple occasions in the first half. We heard it with own our ears twice regarding the same play in the third quarter. And then four more times just before we posted this items, as Davis was preparing to return a punt.​

Apart from the fact that Buck doesn't know the Chargers' lineup as well as he should, why isn't someone telling him that he's got it wrong?​

We realize that Buck is "the guy" at FOX, but maybe it's asking too much for "a guy" to handle baseball and football. ​

UPDATE: We're now getting e-mails from people who are telling us that Davis's nickname is "Buster." Some initial Googling suggests that they are right. Still, Buck needs to make it more clear that he's using a nickname and that he merely isn't getting the guy's name wrong. He's officially listed as "Craig Davis"; by calling him "Buster" with another guy in the NFL whose name is "Buster Davis," Buck is inviting criticism. Especially since he's a smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all, in our opinion.​

SECOND UPDATE: As evidenced by all of the e-mails I've received confirming that Craig is also "Buster," I've learned that the problem with being a smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all Internet hack is that when said smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all Internet hack makes a mistake, folks who don't like the smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all Internet hack will focus far more heavily on the gaffe than if the person committing the error were not a smarmy, metrosexual know-it-all Internet hack.​

Couldn't agree more. Just for that Cliff, you're my new favorite poster. You and abomb. Buck is a punk.

Hey, they got the "als" part right didn't they?

He is no doubt exciting, and one of the best "voices" in sports, but his smug ass is such a mouthy jerk. I can't remember who it was (TO or Moss) or what exactly was the situation but he just made it a point to insert his holy, I am better than you, smug ass comment about something that was so trivial and not what he made it out to be.

now that's brutal scheduling!

if you want to hold him accountable......you should do the same for yourself.

It was Moss pretending to "moon" the opponent's endzone fans after scoring a touchdown. Buck got on his high horse and went on what I would describe as a moral majority tirade. He was "disgusted" "appalled" or something like that. I don't like to listen to him.

I think it was moss. but i won't shed a tear if someone rips T.O. or moss for their prior antics. I don't think many others will either.

YEssss! Exactly! Thank you! I was so mad. I just hate commentators who spend their air time trying to be the moral police. Just call the dang game!

He didn't bother me until the 2005 World Series (Astros-White Sox). After a few innings of listening to him I wanted to tell him to go down to the dugout and give Roger Clemens a (insert sexual act here). It would have been a lot quicker and easier than what Buck was doing, which was giving him the verbal equivalent.

 

[blindseyed]

That's nothing Chris Collinsoworth just said "Bill Parcells and the Patriots"....LOL

That's what you get for getting Dish.

 

[Lorenzo]

as far as i know the moss remarks are his most contreversial remarks that i've seen. 90% of the time his is sharp and professional, which is all I would ask of a play by play guy.......while watching a neutral game of corse. that's his job. It's better than that cornheiser and gumble trash that bring off the wall remarks on a game by game basis.

what member of the media doesn't suck up to a great player during a game? especially clemens. of corse, this year is a different story. hopefully he will let it go.

 

[Jetstream Green]

Summerall is the biggest idiot out there and you can throw in the aging John Madden now as well. Hey Pat, you think you could get through the season without calling the Arizona Cardinals the St.Louis Cardinals?

 

[ItsInTheCards]

lost in all of this is that "Buster's" real name is James Davis, and that its also a nickname for him as well

 

[Gee!]

I dont really hate any of these guys but Chris Berman really irritates me.. I hope he retires soon..
