Joe Buck was a fairly divisive broadcaster when he first started calling NFL games, but most fans have come to appreciate what he brings to the broadcast

Las Vegas parted ways with the first-year coach-GM tandem of Antonio Pierce and Tom Telesco earlier this month, and the “allure” of Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion, was said to have helped the Raiders become an enticing option for Johnson, 38.

Ben Johnson's hiring is different, from the start of everything to the triumphant finish line as Johnson walked through the doors of Halas Hall to an abundance of cheers.

After Johnson chose Chicago, though, a reporter asked Bears chairman George H. McCaskey about the FOX broadcast. Rather than address Brady calling the game, he instead decided to take a shot at ...
