Rebellab Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Did he REALLY call him Al? They were saying on Sports Center this morning "Frank, not Al..." I thought they were making their own references... Yes, I thought it was in my own mind, I am glad others heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushwacked Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Did he REALLY call him Al? They were saying on Sports Center this morning "Frank, not Al..." I thought they were making their own references... Last night I heard him call Jordan Babineaux-Jordan Babinitch, Seattle-Cincinnatti, and Frank Gore-Al Gore.

mcnabbmcnow Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 He DID say Al Gore! I thought it was just me. Not only that, he said the Seahawks scored with a minute or so left, but the Rams came down the field and won the game. He got the teams backwards. Seattle won. Gumble has already proved to be a racist in the past, so he should meet the same exit as Limbaugh did for ESPN. I think Gumble is too opinionated and strong to be an objective play by play guy. He's getting sickening already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 He is as bad as Katie f'n Couric. Both just read off a freakin' card and try to add a hint of superiority to give the illusion they have a clue about that of which they speak. Oh yeah.........I'm Wayne Brady Bee-otch.

godtomsatan Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I'll say two nice things about Bryant Gumble. On the last telecast, he called out the NFL for the crappy display of football the Thursday Night games have provided this season, suggesting they'd be better off having them earlier in the year when there are still bye weeks to be used. I think that's a reasonable idea, and provide more Saturday games in December when college is done. He also challenged Chris Collinsworth for ranking Jay Cutler as the "best" given a choice of Smith, Young, and Leinart. Not necessarily because Collingsworth is wrong (or every other knobslobberer Cutler has going for him among the NFL mediots for that matter), but I appreciated someone asking "Why?" when someone made a comment like that (since no one ever does when Jaworski, Clayton, or Shefter ever do).

Azazello1313 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 so does that mean frank gore can call gumble "betty"? how does that song go.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I don't beleive Limbaugh is a racist, but I will agree that Gumble sucks big time in the booth. Limbaugh is a junior-college flunkout gasbag who has made racist comments in the past (Telling a black caller in Kansas City to take the bone out of her nose for instance). I could care less if he (or anyone) is racist; it's just that so many dumb hicks follow his insidious viewpoints as if it were the Holy Grail. In truth, the drones who love this flatulent propagandist shouldn't bother me, but then invariably I come in contact with these idiots who have the gall to recite his ridiculous dictums.

Jumpy Gathers Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Has anyone else noticed that whenever a team fails to convert on 3rd down and is forced to punt...Gumble says, "They will give it up on downs". He has said this 2 separate weeks....shouldn't someone inform him that the only way a team can give it up on downs is to go for it on 4th down and not get the 1st down? Punting does not qualify as "giving it up on downs" Annoys the Sega! out of me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ursa Majoris Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 First Thursday night game as Charter doesn't carry NFL Network, but it's carried on a local station. Holy #@%$ does Gumbel suck! I can't stand his voice and his comments are horrible . MUTE... Me too. I have Comcast but the game is on local TV with Gumboil announcing. I never knew it could be this bad. He called Tarvaris Jackson Tarvaris Tillman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip_Side Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 He's referred to Tarvaris Jackson as Tarvaris Tillman and has gotten Driver and Jennings mixed up a ton of times. He has also screwed up a ton of other stuff, I didn't know how bad this guy really was 'till now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake_the_builder Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 This guy needs to go FAST. I have NEVER seen an announcer say the wrong damn name SOOOOOO many F'n times, un-f'n-real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
