Entertainment How Joe Buck’s Hair Plug Addiction Almost Ended His Broadcasting Career Five Years Ago by Dakota Randall on Thu, Oct 6, 2016 at 5:27PM1,160 Share this: People can become addicted to a number of different things than can jeopardize their careers. For FOX broadcaster Joe Buck, it was hair plugs. That’s right. Hair plugs. In Buck’s upcoming memoir, “Lucky Bastard: My Life, My Dad, And The Things I’m Not Allowed To Say On TV,” the multi-sport play-by-play commentator reveals the throat virus that caused him to lose his voice and kept him out of work in 2011 was a total lie. In fact, Buck’s vocal chord was paralyzed after complications resulting from his eighth hair plug procedure, according to Sports Illustrated’s preview of the book.

he book, written with Sports Illustrated senior writer Michael Rosenberg and scheduled to be released Nov. 15, will reveal Buck had his first hair transplant procedure at age 24 and that a variety of factors contributed to his inability to stop going back for more. “Broadcasting is a brutal, often unfair business, where looks are valued more than skill,” Buck writes. “I was worried that if I lost my hair, I would lose my job. O.K., that’s bull—-, it was vanity. Pure vanity. I just told myself I was doing it for TV.”

Prior to the start of the 2011 baseball season, Buck underwent his eighth procedure, but something went wrong. When Buck awoke from the anesthetic, his vocal chord was paralyzed because of a cuff the surgery center used to protect him. As Buck explains, the events created a lie that spiraled out of control, but his memoir offers a platform to finally come clean. “When I started thinking about writing a book, this was the main reason why,” Buck told SI. “It wasn’t about stories with my dad. I wanted to detail the time in my life where I had a lot going on and I was stressed, a time when I started to take anti-depressants and was going through a divorce. Then I had this situation with my voice that rocked me to my knees and shook every part of my world.” Thumbnail photo via Robert Deutsch/USA TODAY Sports Images

Too bad he didn't die

did i ever mention that i fucking hate joe buck, especially when he "presides over the NFL" during his weekly Fox NFL Game of the Week broadcasts. i always get this vibe from him like "ok you've heard all the big stories during the week... now I'm here to tell you the definitive takes on all of them" -- he doesn't "condescend" as much as he "clouddescends" as if God Himself sent him down from the heavens to enlighten us little hapless half-wit peasants with the kind of "reasoned football perspective" that only a Man as self-important as joe buck can give you with the requisite aplomb.

I cannot figure out the reason HBO keeps giving this unlikable dick his own talk shows, as if the world is just dying to be treated to the huge personality of Joe Buck. I was glad Artie Lange destroyed his first chance. Hopefully apathy destroys the second.

My buddy has been near Buck on two separate occasions and both times, he claims Buck absolutely reeked of body odor.

story like that, gotta be true

Buck is so full of shit.

Play-by-play is not based on looks. And it especially doesn't matter when you have nepotism to greatly assist your career.

Yea he did it because he thought balding hair meant less pussy would want him
