Gumbel leaves NFL network .. BOOYAH !
« on: April 12, 2008, 09:27:18 AM »
its a great day for football fans....

bryant gumbel announces he's LEAVING the NFL Network !! .... my god, the stuffed suits & bean counters that own NBC mayb have actually asked SOMEONE WHO KNOWS ABOUT football & its fans  how Bryant Gumbel appeals to that market !!!

http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d807b681a&template=without-video&confirm=true

its actually quite scary to think our major media outlets  & the NFL were actually incompetent enough to put gumbel on the NFL network in the first place ...

 NO MORE GUMBEL :cheersmate:

How will anyone know?

If they broadcast the empty chair where he sat, it will be more intelligent and entertaining.

gumbel should go back to news, where I never watched him in the first place, and
olbermann should go back to sports, where I watched him all the time.

That I agree with.  H5 for that.

you're probably right about olbermann, and it's too bad.  he was really good on sportcenter, but he's an epileptic footnote on PMSNBC.

I never liked Gumbel, glad to see him go. But I hope at least the NFL Network can replace him with someone who doesn't mix his metaphors.
"That put a monkey in the wrench" or "That will open up a whole new can of issues". I know Gumbel wasn't an athlete but Jock reporters do it all the time.

I liked Gumble on HBO and the NFL Network.  :thatsright:

Of course, I don't get HBO or the NFLN so that is where I prefered that nitwit to be.  :evillaugh:

Man I hope he does not show up on FOX or CBS. Especially CBS. (they have enough problems putting out a watchable sportscaster group)

sheesh.
