Fox Sports’ Joe Buck calling 7 games in 7 days, including World Series, NFL
Joe Buck usually has a busy October covering both football and baseball games for Fox Sports. But this week will be even more hectic than usual, as the play-by-play broadcaster will be covering a different game each day this week.
Buck’s week started Sunday calling the Green Bay Packers at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game with Troy Aikman. The Bucs won handily, 38-10.
On Monday he is calling the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs’ visit to the Buffalo Bills. Both teams are 4-1. The game, which kicks off at 5 p.m., was rescheduled from “Thursday Night Football.”
Then on Tuesday, the World Series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Tampa Bay Rays starts. All the games are being played at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Buck will be there with John Smoltz in the booth for Game 1 and Game 2 on Wednesday.
On Thursday more NFL action as the New York Giants travel down the interstate to face the Philadelphia Eagles. Both teams are looking for their second win of the season.
The World Series starts up again Friday with Game 3 and Game 4 is set for Saturday. Buck will be there.
And if Game 5 is needed on Sunday, Buck will also call that one.
In September, Buck was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame – following in the footsteps of his father, Jack Buck, a longtime sportscaster with the St. Louis Cardinals.
