Joe Buck is getting his announcing reps in these days any way he can. We have some job offers to add to the mix.

Joe Buck is the announcing prodigy of his generation. The son of legendary play-by-play guy Jack Buck, Joe has captivated the hearts of many Americans with his dulcet tones over the years. Buck is the voice of FOX Sports, making him the network’s top play-by-play guy for the NFL and MLB. His partners are hall of famers Troy Aikman and John Smoltz, respectively.

In these days of the great indoors, Buck has been keeping his play-by-play chops up to speed by announcing anything and everything under the sun on Twitter. It’s been great, but no, he won’t do play-by-play of your adult home video, nor will he take a job doing so for the big leagues. With chops like his, he can do play-by-play for whatever he wants.
