Joe Buck clarifies comments about having drinks in the booth with Troy Aikman while broadcasting

He had a lot to say about the story that made headlines.

FOX Sports’ Joe Buck made some headlines earlier in the week when he told Colin Cowherd about how, in the past, he might have had someone get him the biggest beer at baseball stadiums to sip occasionally during broadcasts, a reminder that he was having fun calling a sporting event and not “refueling an F-16 in midflight.”

He also mentioned having a drink with Troy Aikman in the booth a while back. To me and others, it was hardly a big deal. It’s great that Buck has some fun on broadcasts and keeps things loose. Remember, he’s told us about checking his phone while on the air, or writing something funny on his board of stats and facts (we’ll get to that in a minute) to get himself to relax.

But Buck took to Twitter on Wednesday night to clarify exactly what he meant:

So there you go. There was the Super Bowl board message to himself to have fun, the reminders that nobody’s perfect, and that calling any game — especially one that the world is watching — can be stressful.
