KOKIDKOKID Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Forgive me if this is a repeat posting...but I just heard that Bryant Gumble is out as an announcer on NFLN this year! I could not be happier. He was horrific all year. KO'd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturphy Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Sweet! Maybe he can take Kornheiser and they can go do Synchronized Swimming events! Fouts could take Gumble's spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SheikYerbuti Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 I only hope it was a "You suck at this, you're fired" kinda thing and not an "I quit" kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Chappy Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 http://nflblogs.profootballweekly.com/Arou...fl_network.html 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. | April 11, 2008 5:21 PM Just figured I'd add the link to this story that I read.

The thing that really got me about Gumble is that he never seemed to improve. http://nflblogs.profootballweekly.com/Arou...fl_network.html Next goal - get ESPN to stop the 3rd quarter guest nonsense.

theprofessor Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Now if SIRIUS would pull Jerry Rice, PERMANENTLY, this world would be a much better place. Edited April 14, 2008 by theprofessor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadman Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 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.

Square Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 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.

SheikYerbuti Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Collinsworth seemed to do OK 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?"

MikesVikes Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 They'll never, ever be able to replace him. But I'm assuming that Kermit the frog has turned it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
