I remember Buck doing a handful of Cardinals games per season on TV in the years when his national star was rising, probably when Summerall/Madden were still at it. He was really funny (witty, not goofy,) and genuinely enjoyable. He seems to have left most, if not all, of that charm back at Fox Sports Midwest. I'd love to see him cash out of the big gig at Fox and spend the twilight of his career in his dad's shoes as the radio voice of the Cards. Don't expect it, but I think he'd be better off without the yoke of neutrality that he seems to struggle with.
