Gumbel

He's a news guy right? He seems less knowledgable than any other announcer I've heard.

He hosted the NBC Sunday NFL pregame show for a few years in the late 70s/early 80s.

it was julius pepper a few times.
steve smith had 9 carries tonight.
and the panthers were playing the 12-2 packers tonight at one point.

he must have pics of an exec w/a duck or something to keep his job.

I thought the most painful few seconds came when Collinsworth threw him the softball about which famous QB has the quick releas and Gumbel said 'Elway?'
 
I can't stand Gumble but I can think of a couple others who would probably be worse.
 
If the NFL is really trying to make a splash with having games on the NFL Network, they REALLY need to get rid of the guy....it's as if he doesn't prepare whatsoever for the game......he is a waste of a sportscaster.

And to think, most guys here grew up listening to Summerall and Madden.


Summerall was the best at one point, and I still enjoyed his voice when he wasn't up to play calling anymore. :) Madden, I always enjoyed his analysis, little football factoids. Anyway, it was just fun listening to those two. Gumbel, he just sucks. He started to call the Panthers the Packers twice in that game.
 
don't know if you caught it during the game but Gumble was making a comment right before they went to break and he said something to the fact that we will return with the 12-2 Packers going against the 6-8 Panthers.

what an idiot!
