Joe Buck addressed the leaked audio featuring he and NFL play-by-play partner Troy Aikman allegedly mocking a military flyover before the Packers loss in Tampa on Sunday. On his Daddy Issues podcast this week, Buck says the comments were rehashing a conversation their crew had at dinner the night before.

“Troy in the microphone is repeating something that he heard the night before from an unnamed person on our crew,” Buck told his co-host Oliver Hudson. “This person happens to be very far left and said, ‘Well, under Biden-Harris, you know that’s not going to happen,’ and Troy was repeating that watching the flyover.”

He also added that the video that accompanied the audio when Defector Media posted the clip on Twitter may give away exactly where the leak came from.

“That person will get found out because that specific shot of that flyover, which I personally thought was old and a tape that they were running out of our truck as furthering our conversation that we were having internally, I thought that was on tape,  but it was actually live, but it wasn’t a Fox shot,” Buck explained. “They know whose shot that was and therefore they kind of know where our audio was going at that moment. It wasn’t going on TV. It was well before our game.”

The leaked audio and subsequent reaction from those that believe Buck and Aikman were mocking the military had the play-by-play man feeling as if he needed to share more details of his personal backstory than he would usually want to.

“My dad earned a purple heart in World War II, was shot in Germany and was sitting in a hospital in Paris when WWII ended and saw Charles de Gaulle speak in Paris at the end of WWII. My grandfather was on a battleship in the Pacific in WWII. That’s my mom’s dad. I come from all that. Right on the down the line, that’s where my sensibilities are.”

Buck added that he considers the issue “dead and buried now”, but he did want to make his thoughts known because the audio was leaked without context and people had begun objecting to something that did not happen.

Neil Everett has become one of the faces of SportsCenter. After 23 years at ESPN, he announced that he is leaving the network.

Colleagues at the World Wide Leader took to Twitter to share their thoughts. It was universal praise from the people that knew and worked with Everett. Chief among them was his SportsCenter partner of fourteen years, Stan Verrett.

Everett has spent the last two years as part of the television studio crew covering the Portland Trail Blazers. He told Front Office Sports that he will be seeking to expand his role with the team.

If Root Sports Northwest requires references, there are plenty ESPN colleagues past and present that were immediately ready to vouch for Neil Everett.

Everett was not laid off. He turned down a new contract that would have forced him to take a pay cut.

The Walt Disney Company is in the middle of layoffs effecting every division. CEO Bob Iger has tasked his leaders with reducing costs by $5.5 billion and cutting 7000 jobs.
