Joe Buck is used to playing things pretty cool in the booth when he’s calling an event but during Thursday night’s broadcast of the Bengals-Browns game he got emotional, and for good reason – he was surprised on-air by an announcement that he will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame where he will join his dad, the late, great Jack Buck.
Joe Buck, who I’ve said before is the GOAT broadcaster, is the recipient of the Pete Rozelle Award, which makes Joe and Jack Buck the first father and son to win that award.
The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s David Baker made the announcement during the game and Buck got emotional afterward.
This is pretty great:
Awesome moment as Joe @Buck finds out live on TV that he will be joining his father in the Pro Football Hall of fame!
Congratulations Joe! 🙏 pic.twitter.com/hw0ejy2Pnn
