Fox broadcaster Joe Buck was trashed on the web for insinuating that Donald Parham Jr. was shaking during his injury because of the weather in LA

FILE - In this Thursday, Jan. 5, 2017 file photo, Joe Buck speaks during the "Undeniable with Joe Buck and Fear(less) with Tim Ferriss" panel at the Direct TV portion of the 2017 Winter Television Critics Association press tour in Pasadena, Calif. Thursday night football is here to stay, even if it's gone for the rest of 2018. In past years, some make that many would have said "good riddance." That would be misguided this year.

Like a referee with a whistle, Joe Buck to  ESPN is official.

The veteran announcer has left FOX to work at ESPN. Buck will be the play-by-play announcer for Monday Night Football beginning in 2022. His old co worker at Fox, Troy Aikman, will be joining him as a color commentator for Monday Night Football.

Buck took to Twitter to share his excitement over his new gig.

“I just wanted to take a second to tell you how excited I am to come to ESPN and to do Monday Night Football,” Buck said. “I get to do it with Troy, Lisa Salters, John Perry, the entire crew, etc. It’s going to be an absolute blast.”

Buck and Aikman will make their ESPN debut on Sept. 12th.

ESPN has a total of 22 games on its network this season, so expect to see plenty of Joe.
