You think any of the other commentators would have done this?

I've heard John Madden won't even meet with Frank Caliendo...

I was gonna say the same thing about him seeming disintetested in sports. I think he'd be happier hosting Dancing with the Stars or that Bravo show. And yes, the Artie Lange thing is hilarious.

My thought is that it is a Jerry Jones thing. I have no idea why the Packer fans would be complaining.

His job is to cover both teams. You are just a homer.
Listen to the most recent Bill Simmons podcast. He interviews Buck in the 2nd half of the pod and it's really good. Buck talks about how when he first got into the league he tried to copy Pat Summerall's style of being really calm and not injecting his emotion into the game. Summerall was able to do that because (a) it was his natural style and (b) he had John Madden going absolutely crazy the entire game next to him.
Buck has definitely gotten better with age. Remember he was a guy in his 20s calling World Series and major NFL playoff games. Buck isn't my favorite announcer and I used to hate him back in the day, but he really is a big sports fan and I don't definitely don't mind listening to him now.

Simms is one of the LEAST-informed announcers. He is mistake-laden and continues to dig himself into even bigger holes when he realizes he has been wrong all along. How Jim Nantz puts up with him, I have no idea.
Re-watch Super Bowl 44 between the Saints and the Colts. Simms was wrong on every penalty call, every prediction, was literally out of his mind on the Lance Moore 2-pt. conversion replay, staked his entire house on why it would not stand, stone-walled Nance when Nance said it was good, and then bragged that he played the game and he knows what he's talking about (hinting that wtf does Nance know, since he never played), and then when Moore's conversion counted, he railed on for another 5 minutes on what bullshit that call was as the game was going on. Nance was trying to get him to STFU but couldn't.
He has continued doing that for the past seven years and I guarantee that for tonight's game, you will hear his arrogance and stupidity arise once more. He's not only a terrible announcer, but an fool as well.

Watching Joe Buck do MLB games is as close to trying out suicide on for size without actually doing it. Uninterested, disconnected, droll, and tedious.....Joe Buck doing baseball.
He admitted in an interview a few years ago that he DISLIKES the sport of baseball and only announces it for the money. He loves football, however.
Explains everything.
