Joe Buck named the most powerful person in sports media in 2022

Match-by-game commentator Joe Buck won the special honor before Christmas Day.

For a work published on Monday, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post ranked Buck #1 on the “25 Most Powerful People in Sports Media for 2022.”

“Bucket move from Fox Sports to ESPN, and in the process got almost double the money (from $9 million to $15 million per year) for half the job (no more baseball, just the NFL),” Marchand famously said. more in the same way that it supported Al Michaels with a less-than-more approach in the second half of his career.”

It’s a have learned This past March, Buck will join longtime NFL partner Troy Aikman by switching from Fox to ESPN. As noted by GAME website, Buck made his NFL debut for Fox in 1994, and CNN pointed out that he was first teamed up with Aikman in May 2002. Those two are now the voices of the main broadcast “Monday Night Football” which airs on ESPN and sometimes on ABC.

Fox Sports CEO Eric Shanks ranks second on Marchand’s list after that company broadcasts the World Series, FIFA World Cup and NFL this fall. Interestingly, Marchand named Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady the third most powerful person in the sports media this year after Brady. agreed to become the top NFL analyst for Fox through a 10-year contract reportedly worth $375 million whenever he retires as an active player.

“Now the question is which direction Brady will go,” Marchand wrote. “Will he keep playing? Going into the booth? A year off? However, you look at it, Brady is a media power player.”

Many individuals, include Bucket and Fox’s Sean Payton, has expressed doubts that Brady will pursue a career as a broadcaster next year. ESPN’s Jeff Darlington report on Sunday, people close to Brady believe that “his desire to play after this season is stronger than it was a year ago.”

Brady could become a free agent when the new NFL year kicks off in March 2023. He hasn’t made his intentions public about next season.
