Joe Buck And Michael Strahan's On-Air Moment Fuels SpeculationMichael Strahan and Joe Buck (Photo Via X)
That was kind of awkward. Joe Buck and Michael Strahan shared a hug on national TV Friday morning, and let’s just say it wasn’t exactly a perfect moment. Buck, currently filling in on Good Morning America, looked like he’d rather be anywhere else when Strahan went in for the goodbye. The clip? It’s already making the rounds.

Strahan, always high-energy, leaned in with his usual charisma. And Buck just gave a quick “Thank you,” and gave off serious awkward energy. And now, fans can’t stop talking about it.

Fans Read Between Joe Buck’s Lines

A post from Awful Announcing read, “Joe Buck and Michael Strahan look totally comfortable with this embrace,” which is surely unusual.


Social media didn’t miss a beat. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “ABC told Joe Buck, we don’t think you do enough to earn your salary, so we’re going to torture you by having to be on the same set a few days with someone as arrogant as you, Michael Strahan.”

While George Stephanopoulos enjoys his vacation, Buck has been stepping in as guest host. He’s known for his straight-faced, no-nonsense delivery on Monday Night Football, but morning TV? That’s a different field. Strahan, on the other hand, thrives in that bright, energetic setting. When their worlds collided, it didn’t exactly scream chemistry.

Despite the icy body language, Buck hasn’t said a word about the moment. He wrapped up his stint on GMA with a smile, albeit a tight one, and is now shifting focus back to football. He’ll return for his fourth season in the booth alongside Troy Aikman and sideline reporter Lisa Salters. The trio helped Monday Night Football win a Sports Emmy for “Outstanding Live Sports Series” in 2023.

Buck is set to call the Week 1 game between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings on September 8. Whether or not he’ll ever return to morning TV again? That remains to be seen.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
