Joe Buck has no idea what Chris Russo is talking about with Cowboys swipe

Perhaps nan Mad Dog has genuinely gone mad.

Chris Russo took rumor pinch Joe Buck for a remark he alleged Buck made toward him … only it would look that said remark was ne'er uttered.

Russo, nan boisterous ESPN and SiriusXM personality, said connected Monday’s show that Buck had nan “audacity” to mobility him astir removing nan Cowboys from primetime games.

“Joe Buck, who I love, I love, but Joe having nan audacity to mobility maine astir really situation you opportunity we’re going to flex retired of Dallas. Joe, I’ll show you correct now, I committedness you, Joe, that you will beryllium begging for a flex pinch nan Cowboys erstwhile you spot them fundamentally connected Monday nighttime 9 cardinal times — and aforesaid pinch (NBC’s Mike) Tirico — now connected tv nan remainder of nan twelvemonth because nan Cowboys are done. Are done,” Russo said during his rant. “Nothing that you tin do is going to alteration that.”

Surely, 1 would deliberation that Buck had personally called retired Russo based connected his wording. Dropping a “how situation you” usually ups nan somesthesia successful an argument.

But, well, it would look Buck has nary thought what Russo is referring to.

“Hot return alert!! (And I emotion you) But I’m beautiful judge I did nan question and reply pinch @JimmyTraina,” Buck tweeted Wednesday. “When did I audastically mobility you astir nan Cowboys? Get immoderate rest. Work connected your backswing.”

Buck’s tweet references nan question and reply he did pinch Sports Illustrated earlier Week 9, successful which Traina noted that Buck has to telephone 2 Cowboys games down nan stretch.

Traina based on that while nan Cowboys are applicable successful nan large image they are not a bully squad worthy of repeated primetime slots this season.

The Cowboys will beryllium connected “Monday Night Football” successful Week 11 against nan Texans and Week 14 against nan Bengals, successful summation to their yearly Thanksgiving slot and a Week 16 Sunday nighttime crippled vs. nan Buccaneers.

“They’re ever relevant. You can’t opportunity they’re not relevant,” Buck said. “I’m successful nan business of trying to get nan astir group to watch.”

Nowhere successful his Cowboys consequence did Buck chastise Russo, though possibly nan erstwhile WFAN big thought Buck was indirectly calling him retired for a erstwhile Cowboys take.

“Dearest @MadDogUnleashed this is @JimmyTraina not you,” Buck said successful a 2nd tweet that included a clip of nan Traina interview. “In fairness you guys do sound precisely alike. So I tin spot really you thought this was you. But it wasn’t. Or was it? Now I’m not sure. Still emotion you maddogtrainarusso.”

Russo not only went aft Buck but besides warned NBC and Tirico astir having nan Jets vs. Colts matchup successful their marquee spot, which proved to beryllium an astute observation.

The NFL flexed nan Jets-Colts matchup retired of its Sunday nighttime slot successful spot of Bengals vs. Chargers.

“I’m going to show NBC thing to do correct now, Michael, make judge you telephone nan powerfulness that beryllium astatine nan ineligible office, get retired of that Indianapolis-Jets crippled successful 10 days,” Russo said. “Jets are going to suffer to Arizona, Indianapolis is going to suffer to Buffalo and don’t beryllium there, you guys are immoderate really going to person me, you and (Cris Collinsworth), a week from Sunday, that nan Jet-Colts crippled has playoff permutations erstwhile 1 squad has mislaid 7 of 10 and nan different squad has mislaid six of 10 because we’re not stupid. A sports instrumentality knows garbage erstwhile he sees garbage and Indianapolis and nan Jets whitethorn beryllium garbage successful a week and a half. Get retired now erstwhile nan getting’s good.”

Russo concluded his rant by noting that nan NFL is bottom-heavy this season.

“There is thing but 9 miles of bad roadworthy successful nan National Football League,” Russo said. “There are excessively galore lousy teams and excessively galore mouths to provender network-wise. There is not a batch going on.”
