Jack Buck is my all time favorite broadcaster. Growing up a Cardinals fan, I always looked forward to hearing his play by play calling on the radio. He also did Monday Night Football on the radio side and was terrific. Too bad it cannot be said of his son Joe, seems he would have learned something from his old man. He sucks and Aikman is worse. Unfortunately, they aren't going anywhere.
Jack was the MAN no doubt! Joe can kinda work in a baseball broadcast but ruining sunday nfl. To be fair to him 90+% of announcers ruin the game they talk over. Bring back that no announcer experiment jets dolphins game from 1980 that the networks didnt want to admit that everyone LOVED!!
Not just the Cowboys were good then...
Early 90s 49ers were just as good. Both teams pretty much had an All-Pro had almost every position..
If the 1991 Eagles had a healthy Cunningham, they'd be in the discussion too with their defense. Not fair to have a D Line with Reggie White, Jerome Brown and Clyde Simmons plus Seth Joyner, Eric Allen and Andre Waters...
Plus the Bills and few more teams were all very good (Broncos, Redskins, Detroit, Houston)
Steroids definitely had something to do with it, but the NFL back in the day seems way better than today. A lot of defenders in the league today can't tackle...how are they going to bring down some of those 80s and 90s backs? And what happens when you protect Montana and Fouts and Marino in the pocket like today's QBs are protected? Or let Jerry Rice run routes over the middle of the field with defenseless receiver protection?
They had 1 very good year - 1991 - went 12-4. Barry had 1850 yards from scrimmage in 15 games. I probably could have picked a better example...they hammered Dallas in the playoffs before losing to Washington in the NFC Conf Champ game.

I loved JACK , but joe is TRASH ..
I'm all on board for NO ANNOUNCERS ...Furthermore stop muting the play on field ..I want to hear players cussing and trash talk ...
My coworker says the same thing ...
He says his GAYDAR is near perfect ( He's gay / not that it matters) ..
Who knows ...
Jack is easily one the best to ever do it ...
Joe puts me to sleep...
I'd love to see Dan Marino play in today's NFL ...Bruce and Bennett used to take advantage of the 1-2 step after the throw and lay the lumber on Dan ...
Bruce & Reggie would be charged with assault in battery in today's softcore NFL ...Bruce almost killed Dam Marino in the 93 playoffs ..FOUTS in today's NFL would probably throw for 6000 yards ..
Those Eagles Buddy Ryan teams are some of my all time favs ....
Also loved all the 49ers teams as well ..That Steve Young team that waxed the Chargers was Fantastic ..
he was never known as the smartest guy around--he makes Bradshaw look smart--anyone that complains about Al and Chris on SNF should listen to these 2 for 3 hours-like watching paint dry...
They are the safe choice. Networks and advertisers trust them not to say anything stupid. And they are well-known. Nobody at Fox will get fired for supporting them.
It's amazing what ESPIN has done in so many different ways. I haven't watched them for the over the past year or so. No thanks!
