The point that I would make is it's easy for somebody like me to be critical of Colin Kaepernick, but I haven't suffered some of the same issues that Colin Kaepernick has. On some level, it's like, how dare I weigh in on what Kaepernick is doing or feeling?

You can't interview Pete Rose and not ask about betting on the Reds and being banned from baseball.

Broadcasting is a brutal, often unfair business, where looks are valued more than skill.

OK, I will never say anything degrading or bad about Tom Brady. He is a god in cleats.

Nobody's tuning in - let's check the TV Guide listings and see what game Joe Buck is calling. Nobody cares. They want to see the Cubs. They want to see the Packers. They want to see the Cowboys. They don't care who's calling the game.

I'm lucky that I was born to these parents. I'm lucky that my dad wanted to be around me, that he took me to all these National League cities by the time I was 12.

If Jim Nantz is tweeting at me, 'Go back to baseball, you suck at golf,' then I've got problems. If it's somebody else who's just a voice out there, well, that just comes with the job.

Joe Buck

I always try to shine the spotlight on what's happening on the field and not what's coming out of my mouth.

I know what baldness can do to a man. When you see guys with a toupee that should come with a chinstrap, or somebody whose been through hair replacement surgery and tapped out early because it's too painful, you realize guys will do anything to maintain their sense of virility. They don't want to give up looking young.

I have a casual interest in the NBA.

I, Joseph Francis Buck, became a hair-plug addict.

In 1999, when Ted Williams came out and saluted the fans at the All Star Game at Fenway, I had a huge lump in my throat, and the producer is yelling in my ear to talk, and I couldn't, thankfully, and it was much better.

Broadcasting golf is not like broadcasting baseball or football. You see the ball and the action through your own eyes. The story is unfolding in front of you. In golf, the story is unfolding here and there and everywhere. As the guy in the broadcast tower, you're getting it all on screens and from reporters in the field. It's a tricky business.

Pat Summerall personified less is more. His play-by-play was so bare bones but so great because he had a great, deep-toned voice.

Joe Buck

I just consider Boston and New England incredible sports fans. If they give me trouble, think I'm rooting for other side, it's mainly because they're living and dying with every pitch and every play and think I'm rooting for the other side. I'd much rather that than apathy.

Joe Buck

If you're confident in what you do, the compliment doesn't matter.

Joe Buck

If I had a walk-up song in 2019, it would be 'Baby Shark.' It's haunting. It's mesmerizing. It's catchy.

Joe Buck

There are a lot of people across the country, for as silly as this sounds, who obsess about hair loss.

Joe Buck

I don't want to keep doing the same thing over and over for the rest of my life.

Joe Buck

I mean, I've done college basketball, a horse race, a bunch of different things and they'd blow by but golf has a frenetic pace of bouncing around from shot to shot and green to green and, in essence, acre to acre over this huge plot of land with over 150 players who are their own team.

Joe Buck

I mean the home run king, to me, is Hank Aaron, but statistically, it's Barry Bonds.
