In 1994, he was employed by Fox. Joe announced a regular schedule of National Football League games on network television at the age of 25, breaking the record for the youngest person ever to hold such a position at Fox. After two years ( in 1996). He was hired as Fox’s principal play-by-play announcer for Major League Baseball. Joe collaborated with Tim McCarver, who had previously worked with his father on CBS.
He also set a record by being the youngest guy to perform a World Series national broadcast in the same year. Joe’s record eclipsed that of Sean McDonough, who, at the age of 30, called the 1992 World Series for CBS. Sean had taken over as CBS’s principal baseball play-by-play man when Jack Buck was fired in late 1991.
On September 8, 1998, Joe called Mark McGwire’s 62nd home run. The game was nationally aired live in primetime on Fox, breaking Roger Maris’ single-season record. Joe was hired as the play-by-play announcer for Fox’s #4 NFL broadcast crew, which included color commentator Tim Green. Joe ceased doing Football games after three years to focus solely on his baseball duties.
During the 2001 season, he occasionally stood in for Curt Menefee as the network’s number-six play-by-play guy. Joe took over as Fox’s lead play-by-play announcer in 2002, succeeding Pat Summerall.
He also worked with Cris Collinsworth from 2002 to 2004, when Cris moved on to Showtime, NFL Network, and NBC. In the same year, Joe became the third broadcaster to handle a television network’s lead MLB and NFL coverage.
Al Michaels of ABC and Curt Gowdy of NBC are the other two. Because to his Fox commitments, he was forced to reduce his local Cardinals schedule to 25 games by 2002. Joe eventually departed the Cardinals in 2008 to work full-time for Fox Sports. He called the final Green Bay Packers home game at County Stadium in Milwaukee, the Minneapolis Miracle, Super Bowl LI, the Miracle at the New Meadowlands, and Super Bowl XLII.
On August 14, 2006, Joe was named the host of Fox NFL Sunday, Fox’s pregame NFL show, and the postgame doubleheader show. Fox stated in March 2007 that Joe would no longer host Fox NFL Sunday in 2007. The decision was made since viewership was down for the entire season, according to the Nielsen rating system. The Fox network wanted Joe to focus on play-by-play for the week’s big game. Joe currently works as a color commentator alongside Troy Aikman and as a sideline reporter alongside Erin Andrews.
