Gumbel to "Leave" NFL Network

Bryant Gumbel has decided to "give up" his duties as the play-by-play voice for the NFL Network’s eight-game package of NFL games.

 

Thank You! This should have happened 15 broadcasts ago. Next goal - get ESPN to stop the 3rd quarter guest nonsense.

Just figured I'd add the link to this story that I read.

:wacko::D:brew:

 

The thing that really got me about Gumble is that he never seemed to improve.

No doubt - Rice is as bad as it gets. It's time that these networks start requiring "announcers" to have some semblance of an ability to speak the English language somewhat sensibly to be, um, an announcer.

I don't check back here a lot during the off season, but I had to look and see if word had spread about Gumble. I'm not the biggest complainer (Kornheiser doesn't bother me as much as most) but Gumble really was that bad. Collinsworth seemed to do OK and they had a sub for Gumble one game last year. I can't remember who that play by play person was but it felt like night and day between a capable announcer and Gumble. This is good news for the NFL network and football fans in general.

I sometimes wonder if Collinsworth went to his plastic surgeon and said "Now what I want is to have a permanent grin on my face. . .something really smarmy and kinda creapy. . .can you do that?"
