SI.com's Sports Media Awards: Best, worst from 2012
Person of the Year: Joe Buck?
Yep, we know. Plenty of you hate him. You think he's smug and sanctimonious and got his gig because of his famous last name. That rap is old. Buck is an exceptional baseball announcer and he's improved yearly in football. His skills were most visible on Oct. 14 when he called an NFL game (49ers-Giants at Candlestick Park) in the afternoon and an MLB playoff game (Cardinals-Giants at AT&T Park) at night, a television stunt that promoted Fox Sports but also highlighted the broadcaster's unique versatility.

I think the analysis of Troy Aikman deserves greater respect from the fans. Joe Buck ... well, I'm sure he makes big money, but his World Series work pales in comparison to our local San Francisco radio/TV guys.
