I live like a normal human being!

I'm my dad's kid, and I'm still, right or wrong, fighting that uphill battle, and I'm not saying that makes sense. I mean my dad didn't hire me at Fox... but it certainly gave me my start, and I think I'm always kind of fighting that.

I'm in awe of what it takes to run a nation, especially our great nation.

The point that I would make is it's easy for somebody like me to be critical of Colin Kaepernick, but I haven't suffered some of the same issues that Colin Kaepernick has. On some level, it's like, how dare I weigh in on what Kaepernick is doing or feeling?

To declare the Cubs champions after 108 years was the highlight of my career.

Procrastination is in my genetic code.

Jack Buck fought through Europe during World War II.

You always want to do games for fans that seem to really care. That is the Boston fan. They're passionate.

I love sharing my experience with others, especially students who are eager to learn the business.

Jeter was no choir boy, Jeter has lived a life. But it's always stayed separate from what happened when he showed up at Yankee Stadium. And that's really to his credit.

I started in radio.

I am an extremely lucky and blessed person, but I'm pretty self-aware.

I learned as my dad's kid that unless you physically can't get there, unless you physically can't do it, you need to show up for work.

I have to live with what I say, or don't say, tens of thousands of times a game.

If that had been my only purpose in life - to call home runs and touchdowns - I'd lead a pretty shallow life.

I come from a city like St. Louis, where they consider themselves great baseball fans.

I just consider Boston and New England incredible sports fans. If they give me trouble, think I'm rooting for other side, it's mainly because they're living and dying with every pitch and every play and think I'm rooting for the other side. I'd much rather that than apathy.

No matter how it started, I grew up with a great American love story. Two parents who didn't fight, enjoyed having parties and being together, and it was a great way to grow up.

I think people have a warped sense of who I am.

I think people bend the truth all the time, unfortunately.

If I had a walk-up song in 2019, it would be 'Baby Shark.' It's haunting. It's mesmerizing. It's catchy.

I watched how happy broadcasting made him. And if you're close with your parent and you see they're happy doing something, it's only natural you want to follow in their footsteps.

I was worried that if I lost my hair, I would lose my job.

To me, baseball is, in some ways, other than my family and wife, my life, and it always will be.

I do watch sports. How could I not? Just for self-preservation.

As far as sitting down and watching a sports event, that's just not part of my day or part of my night.

I live for baseball. That's how I grew up.

Great as my dad was - I would never have gotten my first job announcing if I didn't have the last name Buck - it's my mom, Carole, who has made the biggest difference. She was on Broadway back in the 1960s. She understands entertainment, has incredible instincts.

I'm clearly not an international man of mystery.

When you've done it long enough - I've done something like 21 World Series - just about every fan base has turned off the TV when their team lost and I was screaming and yelling for the other side.

I don't know that I've ever looked at baseball like a purely casual fan. That's just realistic when you grow up with it putting food on your table, and with it taking your dad out of town.

I'm a die-hard NHL fan. I can't get enough.

Whenever Elway was on the field, you never counted the Broncos out.

I never thought I would get remarried, I love golf too much. I wanted the freedom to play whenever I'm not broadcasting. Then I met a woman I couldn't live without.

If you deal in hair loss, you constantly check the hairline of anyone who walks up to you. It's the first thing I look at.

My dad did call a lot of football, and in my opinion, he was the best football announcer on radio ever.

People know Troy Aikman as a Super Bowl-winning quarterback. That carries tremendous weight. Because he really guards against overexposure, or just saying stuff for effect. When he really says something that's critical, people notice.

I don't think we know who a lot of these athletes are. We think we do, but they're never allowed to be themselves. Because the minute they try, people are saying, What's wrong with him? Why is he drawing attention to himself?

My dad used to get to the nastiest letters. But somebody had to take the time to type it, stamp it, send it to him, send it to the radio station. And I mean nasty stuff. It's not like nasty people with nasty opinions just popped up out of nowhere.

I do have feelings.

I think guilt can be good to a small degree, keep you on the right path.

I live in a puddle of guilt, an ocean of guilt that you want your own time.

Being a stepparent is knowing when to step in, when to step back, when to step up, when to step out.

I'm as much my mom as my dad.

I'd rather work than not work.

The best lesson I learned from my dad, Jack, is that nobody is tuning in to a game to hear you broadcast. They want to watch the game, so don't get in the way.

My dad was the nicest, most egoless person that you could meet.

We live in a world where a lot of people are dissatisfied and can't wait, in 140 characters or less, to tell you how dissatisfied they are.

I enjoy the mental gymnastics that go along with matching voice to picture and vice versa and trying to accent the action as opposed to provide all of the action through my words. And that's really what play-by-play is.

I'm not an outdoorsman. I'd rather go see a movie. I don't want to hunt anything.
