Joe Buck Laughs At Twitter Criticism, Promotes Book On "Tonight Show"

Fox Sports’ Joe Buck appeared on NBC’s “The Tonight Show” last night, with host Jimmy Fallon calling him a “man at the top of his profession.” Fallon complimented his broadcasting of World Series Game 7, saying there were “just rave reviews, they just love you.” Buck: “Well no, unless you’re on Twitter then there are no rave reviews.” Buck said of broadcasting through the rain delay in Game 7, “It’s a little bit intimidating because you know 40 million people are hoping to see the end of this game and you’ve got to kind of lie a little bit and go, ‘Well, it’s stopped raining. It looks like they’re going to pull the tarp off here soon,’ and eventually you get back to baseball.” Buck was promoting his new book, “Lucky Bastard,” and said he wanted to put some “personality” into the book because “sports people are boring” (“The Tonight Show,” NBC, 11/10).
