Through the magic of television, on the day of Joe Buck’s exit from FOX to ESPN’s “Monday Night Football,” the Emmy Award-winning sportscaster made a final appearance — for now — on his old network.
Timing is everything. Cue “The Masked Singer.”
The Ram was the singer, which could have been a clue it had something to do with football.

After being eliminated following a duel with Firefly, legendary sports play-by-play announcer Joe Buck was unveiled as the man underneath the Ram’s horns on the March 16 episode of The Masked Singer. Buck is the second contestant to be sent home this season, after Duff Goldman was the first celebrity to get the hook last week.
Ram sang John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” during his one-on-one battle with Firefly, but in the end the judges preferred her version of Ariana Grande’s “God Is a Woman,” and sent Buck packing.
The panel and audience were enthralled but judge Eric Stonestreet was not fooled by his friend.
He’s a far better broadcaster than crooner, don’t you think?
