Joe Buck Has Hilarious Response to Porn Company Wanting to Hire Him for Play-by-Play Role
By Brady Williams
In these days of quarantine, lead FOX Sports play-by-play manJoe Buck has been posting videos of himself providing commentary for basic day-to-day activities. Of all of the pitches fans have sent the broadcaster, however, perhaps the most lucrative (and ludicrous) arrived via the world of smut. Buck could make a big heap of cash if he calls a series of live pornographic videos, and his reponse to this bizarre offer was far better than we could have hoped.
Sports business insider Darren Rovell tweeted that an as-yet-unidentified porn purveyor was offering $1 million for commentary services. Buck had to turn it down... for an alarmingly personal reason, so he says!
Depending on the site they could just be handing some of my money back to me. So I’ll hold out for a better offer and try to hold on to my day job. But I have to say I’m flattered. https://t.co/wBgkwnHyrA

Yikes, Joe. The boldly tongue-in-cheek reply is funny stuff, and edgier than we tend to expect from Jack Buck's son. His TMI flourish for the sake of comedy has to be a welcome sight for even the staunchest Buck haters.
He was also proud of his decision, and boasted about this latest offer to his own wife.
Today - this 17th day of April in the year 2020 - I became the first sports announcer to ever reject a 7 figure offer from a porn site. @MichelleBeisner I want this on my headstone.

This mystery pornography website is supposedly pursuing other broadcasters to take up their offer, but Buck can rest on his laurels knowing he's something of a trailblazer here.
Of all the offers you’ve turned down to keep your day job @Buck - this one not only hurts the most, but also had the most potential. Epic fail. https://t.co/tz5fquc3nf

Ah, there it is!
After all, could his famous father ever claim to have been offered a million bucks by a pornographer? No. He could not.
