Joe Buck and Troy Aikman were nicknamed “The A Team” when they joined Cris Collinsworth to form Fox’s top NFL broadcast crew in 2002.

Buck and Aikman have been a team for 22 years now. They have exceeded the tenure of the legendary pairing of Pat Summerall and John Madden.

    I used to HATE Buck’s play-by-play, & he was always the worst commentator to me, until about the last 5-7 years or so, Buck’s really grown on me. I dunno if that’s him changing or me, but he does seem to have gotten much better the last few years & he’s actually pretty funny & likable in interviews away from the games.

      For many years, these two were my least favorite team of announcers. They are now about the only duo I don’t mute (well, I do like Kevin Harlan). I think it is partly because they have gotten better, and I think it is partly because everyone else has gotten so much worse. I once liked both Collinsworth and Romo. Now their endless praise grows tired part way through the first quarter.
