During a press conference shortly after the Bears hired Ben Johnson as their next head coach, McCaskey was asked to share his thoughts about Las Vegas Raiders minority owner Tom Brady calling a divisional-round matchup Saturday between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders on Fox Sports alongside play-by-play announcer Kevin Burkhardt.
Chicago Bears chairman George McCaskey took an unexpected shot at NFL play-by-play announcer Joe Buck, during a press conference on Wednesday. It started more as a response to a question about Tom Brady’s inclusion on the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders Divisional Round broadcast.

Starting from their own 20-yard line, after a deep pass to Jordan Addison fell incomplete, the Vikings tried a draw play, a run for Cam Akers. And then they tried another run to Akers. One yard short of a first down, they ran a sneak with quarterback Sam Darnold.
Now, after his performance in Week 18 and in the playoffs, some believe he lost some money. Even ESPN commentator Joe Buck, who called the game alongside Troy Aikman, believes Darnold has cost himself some money.
