1. Sports fans seem to pay very close attention to anything Joe Buck does these days. The voice of Monday Night Football (and recent SI Media Podcast guest) always trends when he calls a game, but Monday, Buck didn’t draw attention for his play-by-play work. This time, it was Buck’s intro to the Saints-Bucs game on ESPN that caught fans’ attention.
Buck sounded hyped—very hyped—to be calling a 5–6 vs. 4–8 matchup.
As we saw the scene outside the stadium, Buck said, “The weather is beautiful in Tampa, Florida. It’s Week 13. Good matchup in the NFC South. It’s DECEMBER! Can you believe it? Already December. Bucs and Saints, coming up!”
