In the wind

With the world of sports grinding to a halt because of the COVID-19 pandemic and no live broadcast for the foreseeable future, the dearth of sporting events has been equally hard to stomach for both fans and analysts.

It therefore made perfect sense for Buck, the lead play-by-play voice for NFL and MLB on FOX Sports, to provide some comic relief during these unprecedented times.

"I have good news for you," he wrote on Twitter in March. "While we're all quarantined right now without any sports, I'd love to get some practice reps in. Send me videos of what you're doing at home and I'll work on my play-by-play."

His request proved enormously popular as Twitter responded enthusiastically[...] Except that some have taken the requests down a somewhat more personal path, which could test even the skills of a seasoned commentator as the 50-year-old.

Speaking in an interview with St. Louis-based radio station KMOX, Buck pleaded for fans to stop sending him sex tapes to call on a "play-by-play" basis.

[...]
"I've had a couple of submissions from let's say, a man and a woman, that just didn't seem appropriate to put my voice to in this stage of my life. Maybe later in life, but not now. I look at these videos very carefully and pick the ones that seem the most wholesome to put my voice to."
