Gumbel Shitcanned by NFL network

[purecarnagge]

They are "going in another direction..."

Of course they both agreed to this...

[Panic]

Smart move by NFL network. Gumbel sucked ass.

[SBR Lou]

Oh god yes. Please tell me this is serious.

[slacker00]

God yes, we don't need gays talking when we're trying to watch football.

[Reload]

It's about time!

[Wrigley]

It's about time!

He should have never been back for year 2, Good ridance

[SBR Lou]

He should have never been back for year 2, Good ridance

You got that right. Must've been under contract.

[gummo]

He's being replaced with Kornheiser.

[moses millsap]

This is a true American tragedy.

[Scorpion]

He's being replaced with Kornheiser.

Great move!


Kornheiser is awesome!

[bigboydan]

Better late than never, because this guy was brutal to listen to during his tenure with the NFL Network.

What will the Gumbles do now?

I have a few ideas.

What will the Gumbles do now?

As long as it doesn't involve a microphone they can do whatever they want, but sadly Bryant always seems to find a way back.

[icemantbi]

Thank God! Gumballs was the most brutal Play by Play guy I have ever heard. He couldn't even get the players names right!

[MakeMoney]

I actually couldnt watch the game if he was announcing. just brutal.

Gumble was good when he was young but he really went down hill fast.

[AgainstAllOdds]

I never really understood why people hated gumbel so much

[turnip]

I never really understood why people hated gumbel so much

I don't like him because his voice is whiny and too soft, and he messes up the play by play several times a game.

[Hoganknows]

Great move--I turn the TV down when he's on. "Over The Hill" gang is where Gumble belongs

[McBa1n]

I'm going to miss his quips and side information that's irrelevant... He just wasn't good enough nor experienced enough to actually call the play right. Other than that, I thought he was fantastic... But that's a big doh when you're constantly messing up names or teams or downs. It didn't bother me since I get into the games and that information is irrelevant to me, but I can see why no one liked him.

[purecarnagge]

Tony would be just as bad at Gumbel in my opinion. Tony bombed on MNF... He's worse than the sideline reporters trying to take there jobs seriously...

[Hoganknows]

Gumble acts like his "shit don't stink"

[purecarnagge]

Gumble acts like his "shit don't stink"

I would pay to see someone put him in a room with a skunk for an hour.


My problem with tony is tony is a great guy. PTI is great. But that doesn't mean your great on MNF or doing play by play. Nothing against Tony, but it didn't work well at all.

[SBR Lou]

His brother Greg Gumbel is actually an excellent play-by-play announcer.
