I wonder if Joe Buck knows that dozens (millions?) of people in Asia are watching the Giants vs. Buccaneers NFL playoff game live on FOX via a channel called BEN 4 SPORTS ... without commercials. Thus we can all hear much of the chatter that takes place when the announcers think they are off air. And thus I heard Buck belting out "All Star" by Smashmouth during halftime.
Go Giants!
(Yes, it is after 4 am in Shanghai. And yes, I am jetlagged.)

Ha- I love the commercial-time banter you get in Asia! Two years ago I was up early one morning watching the Super Bowl in Cambodia, when Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were going through their strategies, e.g. "I think we should talk about the Seahawks offensive line a little less" or "I ran into Hines Ward in the tunnel- he's a funny guy. He guaranteed a Steeler victory"...it was just amazing that they didn't know (or care) that a lot of people in other countries would be listening to everything they said.
