[dlv6177]

[abrittain]

Even my mom and my wife were making fun of his "sissy" voice. I could hardly hear the guy and when I did, I wished I still couldn't

Canty is good, but not compared to Demarcus Spears !

Dude is brutal

Is there anyway we can voice our concerns over this guy??? Or would it be a useless excercise?

Gumble needs to go back to annoucing figure skating :laugh2:

I'll be honest, I loved Gumble and the NFL network's display of the game. It's significantly better than Monday Night Football by a mile. Gumble is intelligent and makes insightful comments. People don't like Gumble because of his attitude. He is cocky and some people can't get past that regardless if what he is saying is intelligent. He wasn't just repeating the obvious and was analyzing the game and offerring commentary of his own as opposed to play b play guys who offer no opinion and are simply robots. Chris Collinsworth was good too. I could care less about his mistakes; I could overlook that. I would much rather have a person with an opinion than an accurate robot.

I can agree with you to a point. I think he does go out of his way to make a bigger deal of what he thinks was a incorrect call, and I can agree with him on that a lot of the time. I think he was absoultly correct in his observations of TO's bobble on the side lines and the PI call.

That being said, he is a professional broadcaster that is being paid big bucks only to call the Cowboys the Packers several times, missing some obvious spots, misidentifing several players and at least one player was misidentified several times. Not to mention at the end of the game calling Tony Romo, Rick Romo.

The NFL Network is trying to sell it's product with a pitch man that bumbles and fumbles his way through the game with the basics. Not to mention, this is football. Not a nightly news cast. Gumble needs to take some of the money his is getting paid and buy a personality. It become comical and brutal all at the same time. With all the NFL Network is doing right, this aint one of them.

 

[Tricky-22]

.. that Gumble has called the Cowboys "the Packers" three times already?

That was absolutely the worst broadcast team in the history of television!

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Gumble is awful.... Putrid!

 

[Bleu Star]

.. that Gumble has called the Cowboys "the Packers" three times already?

There's one word for the Gumble....


Ridiculous.

Gumble needs to go back to annoucing figure skating :laugh2:

What makes you think they want him back?

 

[Romo2Bryant4Six]

he also thought thomas jones had suited up for julius

 

[newlander]

Gumbel sounded like he had DEMENTIA tonight: seriously. He can take his man boobs, mangey head of hair, and talentless play by play ARSE back to Real Sports on HBO. At least he's halfway decent there. He's truly brutal in the booth though.

I am sure they get plenty of complaints.

Take away all of his mistakes and he still has the same voice. He would be perfect for Hallmark commercials. His voice is what I hated the most. I couldn't hear the guy.

Yea I was like huh. He was terrible, especially since I had to watch the game at 11:00 pm last night; he dang near put me to sleep.

 

[vicjagger]

The only announcer I can't stand more than them is Brain Baldinger...you would wonder if that guy really ever played an NFL game, with some of the stuff he comes up with!

I think he was a Cowboy.

 

[DC_Addict]

Didn't Gumble call Texas Stadium 'Lambeau field' once? Gumble looks old now and has that turkey neck chin.

 

[heavyg]

Did anyone else notice him keep calling us the Packers? In his mind the Packers were playing themselves. He also sounded like a High School Play by Play guy. Don't get me started on Collinsworth :bang2:

 

[jksmith269]

I can't stand him... He even called MBIII Marion Jones... come on the Dallas Packers how bad can someone be b4 they remove them...

 

[DTK]

I had to mute the game, that's how bad it was. If the NFL Network is going to broadcast games, they better get a good crew in the booth and everyone will tune them out. Thom Brennamen would be a good play-by-play guy. Anyone hear him do Boise State-Oklahoma game? He sounds as good as anyone not named Pat Summerall.
