Fox won't pull the plug on Buck

"His discussion of what happened doesn't follow the film," McCombs said in an interview. "He talked about mooning the crowd and then the second action that's been discussed. I've watched the film 100 times, and I can't figure out what he saw.

"If he's going to talk about that, he better have his fact straight. He should know that Randy had been carrying on a conversation with the people at Lambeau for the whole game. It had to do with mooning, not the other thing. So is entitled to elaborate on what Randy did, but he should know the facts of what's going on and describe them accurately if he's going to do that."

1. Fox, the bastion of entertainment integrity

LMAO

2. Well, without fake controversy, you can't have feigned indignity.

Without feigned indignity, you can't have moral outrage.

Without moral outrage, you can't call for censorship.

If you can't call for censorship, you can't control the Media message.

If you can't control the Media message, you can't hoodwink the country in to an unrequired war.

These if these guys were in the business of selling burgular alarms, they'd throw a brick through your window a week before approaching you with the sales call.

War is the burgular alarm they're tyring to sell, and their morality is the brick coming through your window.

3. Perfect.

It comes full circle. It always does.

People, this is why events like this one matter. The event itself matters very little -- the spin, and the way people react to the spin, is what matters.

Very well done, sir.

4. Thanks. Feel free to spread that one around - I'm quite proud of it.

Scare the shit out of people, and then sell them security; it's as old as the hills.

11. Well done!

Thanks for your permission to share it... it needs to be well understood by all of us.

5. Sounds like the Vikings' owner is a bit jealous of Moss' media exposure.

Buck said, "disgusting." Oh no! Get him out of the broadcast booth! The world is coming to an end! He has an opinion! Scary.

Nevermind the bizarre spin this guy is putting on it. He's making Buck look good, and that is hard to do.

:eyes:

6. You were spreading this nonsensical defense of Buck

in another thread as well.

Give it a rest already. Nobody's buying it.

:eyes:

[HuckleB]

7. Nonsensical? Hmm. Show me that.

Sorry, but the nonsensical, highly emotional ranting in defense of Moss may outnumber those who find such nonsensical, highly emotional rants ridiculous, but it doesn't make those who are outnumbered nonsensical.

Got that?

:)


As for giving it a rest, this bit about the Vikings' owner was already posted on this board. Why did you find the need to repost it?

And are you really trying to tell me that the Vikings' owner made any sense at all? Come on. He basically said that what happened, didn't happen. Uh, ok.

;eyes: indeed.

And I haven't actually defended Buck. I've just noted that he really didn't say all that much, certainly in comparison to the venom spewed forth at him about what he said.

OK. I'm done with this nonsense, once and for all.

Are you?

[kaitykaity]

8. Ah have had coffee now, fingers will work.

Nope. Not arguing with you.

Have had those before. It's like dealing with a jellyfish.
Nothing concrete, just stingers all over the place.

No thanks.

[el_gato]

9. fuck buck

he's a typical media whore dickhead.

[kaitykaity]

10. Amen brother.

(or sister). That's tellin' im.

lol.

12. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Oh, God forbid, did someone say something not very nice about God On Earth Randy Moss? Po widdle babies...

[Berserker]

13. buck is just a self promoting ass

He is there for play by play and not to tell America how we should feel about moral values. Some who fall for it also fall for other programs on faux you know the ones with bill and hannity.

Funniest meltdown: Joe Buck
Seeing him gunning for an Emmy after Moss' moon had to be one of the funniest TiVo moments of all-time, right up there with the Jackson wardrobe malfunction and everything Stephen Jackson did during the Artest melee. Hey, remember the days when play-by-play guys were only there to provide play-by-play and set up the color guys? Then Bob Costas started doing baseball games ... within ten years, we had Buck unilaterally deciding the groundrules for moral decency during NFL games, starting a chain reaction that actually led to FOX and ESPN refuse to replay the clip that night. Since when did Buck turn into the Dad from Footloose? Isn't he like 35?

15. I reviewed my post

and I did not see any name calling or pointing any fingers at anyone. All I see from your post is some baby talk. And yes you are right Viking fans are wonderful human beings thank you.
Go Vikings
