He’s a Real Slamma-Lamma Ding Dong

aikman_buck.jpgI’ve been waiting for some video evidence of this to show up on YouTube, but unfortunately, I’m going to have to relay it to you in the form of a transcript, and you’ll just have to picture it in your head (which, honestly, shouldn’t be that hard to do). This is what transpired early in the second quarter of Sunday’s Bears-Seahawks game on Fox, in a discussion about the length of Shawn Alexander’s cleats:

Joe Buck: I wish I knew which was longer 3/8, 1/2, 5/8… you played in the NFL, Troy: what’s longer, 5/8 or 1/2?

Troy Aikman: [stunned silence] I believe 5/8 is longer.

Joe Buck is one-upped on a third-grade math problem by TROY AIKMAN, a guy who sustained ten concussions over the course of his career.

    Of course it’s not on YouTube… it didn’t include profanity and boobs like the “FUCK DA EAGLES!” shirt girl.

    As a fellow St. Louisan as Joe Buck, I am ashamed to admit that I saw this live as well. Say it ain’t so Joe……

    Joe Buck is a certified moron…to the point where, when he calls Yankees games, my father mutes the TV and listens to the radio commentary.
