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 live like a normal human being!

In 1999, when Ted Williams came out and saluted the fans at the All Star Game at Fenway, I had a huge lump in my throat, and the producer is yelling in my ear to talk, and I couldn't, thankfully, and it was much better.

Never bite off so much in your job that you can't spend a lot of time with your family.

I'm out there to be real, and I think people respond to that. If you have some image that you're protecting, eventually people get sick of it, and I can't imagine living that way for an entire lifetime. I'd rather just be who I am, and that's good enough.

I was not broadcasting St. Louis Cardinals baseball because I was accomplished. I was broadcasting baseball at 21 years old because I was Jack Buck's son. I had a billion advantages.

I was broadcasting Cardinal baseball in the major leagues at the age of 21, and that only happened because my last name was Buck.

I'm a flawed, hard-working, hard-trying person.

I try to make what I say count.

Any surgery done to improve one's looks is not really something someone wants to talk about.

Most of the time, if someone gives me trouble at a bar or something, saying, 'Why do you hate the Red Sox or Patriots?' they end up buying you a drink or whatever. They like to be heard, say their piece, and then talk about the team.

You can't let criticism stop you from learning new things.

I'd be willing to do anything once. I did live bass fishing on TV. I've done horse jumping... so clearly I'm not very picky.

People would ask, 'Why is your vocal cord paralyzed?' I said it was a virus. I didn't say it was an elective procedure to add hair to the front of my head. It was embarrassing. There's an embarrassing element to that.

I would rather be in San Francisco than just about anywhere on Earth.

If you're going to scream and yell and pull a groin when calling a catch, you have to really make sure what you're seeing is actually what's happening.

I love the St. Louis Blues, it's the only team I openly root for.

I got a chance to host the 'Late Late Show' for two nights before they hired Craig Ferguson. I enjoyed it, but nothing can replace the thrill of calling an NFC championship game or a Super Bowl or a World Series.

My dad was not good at saying no. I'm trying to be better at saying no.

Timing in my life has been fortuitous.

My dad worked so hard. He slept in his own bed maybe half the nights of the year because of road assignments, but even when he was home, he was covering games. It put a lot of pressure on my mom. She brought in her parents to help out, and it took a village to raise us. I was lucky.

I kind of feel like curling combines this weird vision of people sliding down a lane, and it looks like it combines bowling and every bar game I've ever played. But I still don't understand what the hell it is.

We do scales, vocal exercises every day. I run the voice up and down, get as high as I can and as low as I can. I work on breathing, too.

I'm close with Paul Rudd.
