Celebrity Feuds
The Artie of War -- Lange Crushes Joe Buck

Artie Lange ripped Joe Buck a new one in an epic battle of cut downs last night -- as the "Howard Stern Show" veteran hit the sports announcer with insult after insult on what was supposed to be a night celebrating Joe's new show.



It all started during Artie's guest appearance on the "Joe Buck Live" show on HBO last night -- but the war of words only escalated during the "overtime" segment, which takes place after the actual show and is only shown on the web.

During the webcast, Joe did his best to fight back against Artie's relentless barrage of insults -- and even managed to sneak in a few jabs of his own -- but it was clear Joe was wayyy out of his league as Artie did nothing short of brutally roast the host.

You gotta see it.

31. TMZ should put a poll up on this one. I think you called it wrong.

32. Artie killed. If you listen to the whole segment, not just the short clip here, you can see that it was a one sided battle. If you don't beleive me, watch it yourself. Oh, wait, you can't! HBO had all copies pulled off the web by their lwyers...

Joe Buck is a notorius New York Yankees and New York Giants hater. Anybody who didn't see this coming from Yankees/Giants fan Lange a mile away is naive.

The real question is, without Artie's efforts, would anyone be blogging about the Joe Buck show today? I doubt it, except to draw painful comparisons to that gawdawful Olberman...

33. TMZ, are you guys deaf? There was NO was Artie crushed Joe. I'm not remotely a Joe Buck fan, but you guys must have some serious love towards Artie Lange to make the claim that he was the victor! Joe's insults hit hard and deep and while Artie had some decent come backs, they were tame scattered. Not to mention, he went after Jason completely unprovoked and even Paul, to a degree. I thought Paul was the unsung hero here, making some quick hilarious jokes about "Lucky Pierre" completely off the cuff.

TMZ, you all should really curb your bias. I was expecting an awesome barroom brawl and instead was left scratching my head, wondering when the action you reported was gonna happen.

34. Buck only won because he had the whole audience on his side.

36. At least Joe Buck didn't resort to the same generic, racist and homophobic insults that Artie resorts to when fighting with someone. Joe Buck was way more creative and funnier than Artie. I'd say Joe Buck KO'd him. Artie is just a mean, bitter hack. He is as ugly on the inside as he is on the outside. I don't even know why Artie started a fight with Joe Buck anyway. He was a guest on Joe's show and was disrespectful to the host and didn't give anyone else a chance to say anything. He was rude, obnoxious and, first and foremost, NOT FUNNY. Artie is nothing more than a big steaming pile of poop.

38. considering most people now know who joe buck is, he should be thanking artie

39. I think I would have to say that was a lot closer that I predicted. Buck not only held his own, I think I would have to give him the edge for over all quality of cut down. I am no fan of Joe Buck, believe me. Him and Kornholer made football almost unwatchable, but I think he had the better quality jabs. Artie threw more, but Bucks seemed to land more squarely.

40. If any of you commenting had seen the whole segment, not just the 2 minute TMZ clip you would have seen that Artie absolutely owned Joe Buck.

41. Does Harvey Levin have pictures of Artie Lange in his bedroom ceiling or something? Or did the morons at TMZ reverse the article caption where it should have read Buck Crushes Lange? Listen to the audience reaction. Buck wins by a mile..and I don't even like Buck.

42. i think artie is a low life creep - WHO acts like this. why anyone would find this racial homophobic woman hater funny is beyond me...... i don't listen to howard stern anymore because i cant stand artie. he makes EVERYTHING about himself even when there is an interesting guest on.

43. watch the rebroadcast tonight at 6 on HBO. The whole segment is about 15 mins and gets a lot funnier then this little 2 minute clip. Artie blows up the show. I love when he rips into tony romo and the cowboys all while Micheal Irvin is sitting right there in the audience. He even makes fun of buck for liking tmz.

44. That fat prick is such a loser. He is a gross excuse for a real human being. Joe Buck dealt with him as bet as you can deal with a mentally challenged obese idiot.

45. Fartie is a piece of whale Crap
