There’ll be no commentating on banging for Joe Buck.
Though he said he was “flattered” by the offer, the popular Fox News broadcaster turned down a proposition to do play-by-play on content from an adult film site.
A porn site says it will pay Joe Buck $1 million to announce its cam shows live. The site says it is also accepting applications from other national and local sports commentators.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated, Buck explained why he turned down ImLive.com’s offer of $1 million to provide live commentary for adult cam shows.
“I am highly qualified as I have been practicing these calls most of my life, but I don’t want to just take that job without a proper, open audition,” Buck said. “So if they get Jim [Nantz] and Al [Michaels] and Mike [Tirico] and all the others who do what I do to audition, I’m in. If any one of them say no, I’m out. That’s all I can commit to at this time. I can say I have never been more flattered. And I know my dad would be proud.”
Though he won’t do it for ImLive, Buck has been doing play-by-play on other videos that have nothing to do with sports.
According to ImLive, the company is still accepting applications from other national and local sports commentators to provide commentary for a special section on its site for blind and visually impaired users.
