The call Joe Buck would like to do over is not the one you’d first think
It's been over 15 years since Joe Buck's most infamous call, and yet still to this day it follows him. “That is a DISGUSTING act by Randy Moss,” declared Buck as Moss fake-mooned the Green Bay Packers fans after scoring a touchdown at Lambeau Field. Moss was mimicking what the Green Bay fans do to the visiting team's bus as it rolls out of the parking lot, but Buck still had no time for it. The clip has been memorialized on YouTube with a picture of Buck making an awkward face, which rolls over the tape as he says DISGUSTING:

“Joe Buck is such a buzzkill.”
“Joe Buck is a snowflake.”

For basketball fans and sports-deprived souls across the globe, that means we are over halfway home (and over halfway to having nothing left to talk about on Monday mornings.) There have been grumblings about its ADHD storytelling and ultimate lack of new and/or revelatory stuff, but that's beside the point right now. Good, bad or somewhere in between (it's somewhere in between), we need this right now like we need air to breathe.
Besides, whatever 'The Last Dance' lacks in the new or noteworthy the category, the internet has more than made up for, expounding on the juicy details of each episode in the ways that the documentary makers either can't or won't. This week, one such topic is Michael Jordan's relationship with Nike. In the fifth episode, 'The Last Dance' paints Jordan's evolution from man to brand as relatively straightforward…

(Photo by Augusta National/Getty Images)The Coronavirus pandemic has hit a giant pause button on fans being able to watch golf on TV, and in some cases, even kept people off courses. But while we hunker down and hope for a speedy return to normalcy, we can also use this time as an opportunity to learn more about the game we love. Here’s our latest installment of “Did you know?”
To write of a tour pro shooting rounds of 123-114 would seem to be reveling in the failures of others. This is not one of those stories. Instead, it is a story of great resilience.

Reasor played the PGA Tour fairly regularly from 1969 through 1978 and for his career made 202 starts and made the cut 119 times. He p..
