Joe Buck

In the ever-increasing sports media bubble created by ESPN and grown by networks like FOX and CBS, certain broadcasters have become just as - if not more - popular than the celebrity athletes they are paid to cover. Chief amongst these in the second generation of broadcasters is FOX's Joe Buck, head play-by-play announcer for the MLB and NFL on FOX. Though he made his name following his father's footsteps as the St. Louis Cardinals' play-by-play announcer, he has gone on to produce a sprawling career, enlightening some and enraging others, and remains one of the most influential broadcasters currently calling sports on the air.
