Buck and Aikman have been a team for 22 years now. They have exceeded the tenure of the legendary pairing of Pat Summerall and John Madden.
Worst as well
As opposed to Romo who I think has gotten significantly worse as he started to care less, Aikman has gotten so much better now that he cares less. He’s less afraid to criticize QBs who are struggling (even when it’s the star QBs), which in turn makes his praises that much more poignant. That’s not to say it’s super blatant—he is still a media personality, after all—but it’s way more than others, which is nice.
Now here’s a guy that really talks football
I call him Buck Joe. My dad hated his dad and called him Buck Jack. He was the announcer for the St Louis Football Cardinals. Cowboys had a player named Pettis Norman that Buck always called Norman Pettis. Then he had that cringy “Looky there” call. Aikman is a monotone moron. , HE ran a curl route. , HE should have caught that. I was taught not to do that in elementary school and it drives me crazy. Equivalent to “We was going.”
These guys are professionals that have good enough personalities to mage it work. Probably the best two in football right now
I can tell. I seen Buck give Aikmen the long pause and fuck me eyes last game.
And also the worst
They are one of my favorite broadcasters.
Surprised to see all the love. I hate these 2
Joe Buck only got his first gig due to nepotism. How he’s managed to keep it is just beyond me. Although, thanks to David Croft now being on ESPN, he is no longer the absolute dirt worst commentator on American TV.

SIDELINE
I never hated Joe Buck, but I will say this commentary has gotten so bad but slowly we all wish Buck and Aikman would call more games.
Honestly, I like them a lot. I chuckled when Aikman said sarcastically “My Texas Rangers” and Buck was like “Huh, now they’re your rangers? Name me 10 players of that team. Your rangers…”.^^
Is Buck jealous over Aikman’s comments about Robert Saleh?
Buck is as cool as ever. Aikman is as drunk as ever. They’ve really grown on me, but it seems crazy they’re the longest tenured pair….
