Today is truly unprecedented as Joe Buck is not working during the Divisional Round of the NFL Playoffs for the first time in two decades.
Buck and broadcast partner Troy Aikman just finished their first season together at ESPN. Their final game of the year was last Monday night when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Tampa Bay Bucs.
Buck may be gone from FOX, but some fans cannot help but associate him with the network, which is what happened when he revealed an encounter with a fan at Starbucks. Buck stated a guy asked if he was doing the Cowboys-Niners playoff game in Santa Clara.
“A guy in line at Starbucks this am (in Stl.) asked me if I was doing the Cowboys game today in SF,” Buck said. “Obviously I said “yes, oh sh!!!”, and ran to my car. Won’t he be surprised?!!”
It would be nice to hear Buck and Aikman on today’s historic game between two historic franchises.
Instead, it will be Kevin Burkhardt and Greg Olsen broadcasting live from Levi’s Stadium.
