Raiders' Fernando Mendoza once again goes viral during an interview for hilarious Joe Buck greeting
Fernando Mendoza continued to make his case for becoming the NFL’s most interesting interview on Thursday night.
During the fourth quarter of the Raiders’ 22-20 win over the Houston Texans in the team’s second preseason game, Mendoza joined ESPN’s Laura Rutledge for an interview.
Play-by-play announcer Joe Buck segued to the interview by saying, "Hi, Laura! Hi, Fernando!" The rookie quarterback made sure to greet Buck in return while being incredibly formal in doing so.

"Oh, of course," Mendoza said.
"I mean, he’s a legend.

Buck needs some love, because Mr.
Aikman is already, you know." The crew laughed through Mendoza’s response and then showered praise upon the No.
1 overall pick following another memorable interview.
