Joe Buck Lobs Fat Softballs

[Fritz]

No question about whether he's coming back to the Vikes because he wants revenge...THE question, I think.

Buck merely asked if Minny was the only team, and if so, why, and Favre's response was basically that "I've run that offense and they've got a lot of talent."

Okay, though. Okay.

And no questions about why Bus Cook asked the Jets for a release right when Favre announced his retirement (again). Favre basically said he - at the time of Retirement II - just didn't want surgery, period. Wasn't up for it. And that's fine. But then . . . why did Cook ask for the release right when he retired?

Uh, Joe? Could you have maybe asked that one?

It was interesting to hear Favre say that he's talked to the Vikes, that if his shoulder heals he will play for them, and that they've had a trainer down there...

Why are you shocked? It went just as I predicted. Buck doesn't have the balls to ask real questions to Favre, a guy who ass he has kissed almost his entire broadcast career.

[RashanGary]

It's going to be an interesting season. I'd love for the Packers to crush him and the Vikings.

As far as soft balls, of course. Brett just wouldn't have showed up unless the questions and direction was agreed upon before arrival.

Probably true, JH. Favre did make reference - and I think Buck did, too - to them speaking backstage.

Probably true, JH. Favre did make reference - and I think Buck did, too - to them speaking backstage.

Even so, do you honestly believe that if Buck was allowed to ask anything he wanted he would have had the balls to do so? I don't.

Ding, ding, ding. We have our winner.

I have not been keeping a close eye on Joe Buck's sack and what it does or does not contain. I just know his dad was a good announcer.

the fact that favre is taking advice from chad johnson tells me a lot also

LEt me put it this way then, Can you honestly expect someone who has kissed Favre's ass a a broadcaster to ask tough questions as an interviewer?

[Fritz]

No.

[cpk1994]

No.

Exactly. Bob Costas should have done the interview.

[falco]

No.

Exactly. Bob Costas should have done the interview.

that would ruin the point of calling it the joe buck show, wouldn't it?

[Fritz]

No.

Exactly. Bob Costas should have done the interview.

that would ruin the point of calling it the joe buck show, wouldn't it?

Well, you could call it "The Joe Buck Show Featuring Bob Costas."

[cpk1994]

No.

Exactly. Bob Costas should have done the interview.

that would ruin the point of calling it the joe buck show, wouldn't it?

I realize that. But everyone knew the interview would be a farce to begin with. Joe Buck just proved to the world he has no testicles.

I missed this, or I miss the reference. Can you explain?
