NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

My lord Gumble is horrible in the booth. If he mispronounces another players name, or better yet completely misidentifies another player I'm going to scream. Is he drunk??

Makes you long for Mike Tirico doesn't it :)

Yeah Gumble is pretty dreadful

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Yeah, now that you mention it Tirico is actually growing on me a bit.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Between Cooley's "shit injury" and all those "third and... substantial", I'm longing for effing Pat Summerall...

They should have brought Mike Patrick in. He is good.

and the Bears' "Deepest penetration"

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

i just muted them at the beginning when betts dropped a ball and they said it was cooley. Radio all the way.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

I said this in the game thread, but I'll take Brian Balldinger over this duo.

Give it up for the backup offensive tackle, "Steven Hair"...

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Gumbel is the worst in the business, bar none. He has no business having a microphone and a connection to millions of people.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Yeah, NFL Network announcers are awful. Collinsworthless (credit Cpayne5) called block in the back when we were on offense.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

i like collinsworth is ok. Gumbel is awful.

Seriously, If he called him Steven one more time I was going to throw a football through my TV.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

And what about his constant use of "apparently"? First down for the skins, apparently. Apparently, there's a flag. Are you even watching the friggin game?

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Gumbel is just awful! He sounds like a female.

LOL. I noticed that too! What a f-ing tool.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

On a good note Collingsworthless actually defended Gibbs v2.0. That was not something I expected. Props to him on that.

"He appears to have the first down"

Um yeah you think? The guy is only 5 yards past the marker.

:doh:

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

I got so sick of hearing him cough. I will say this I was impressed with the way Deion talked of ST and the redskins.

The pre-game tribute to Taylor was excellent. Two thumbs up to the NFLN for that.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Let's forget about the booth and just stick with the basics like the scoreboard on the screen. Is NFLN being stubborn to keep their "signature style"
because it is possibly placed in the worst/most annoying place on the screen...

no shit,its like the guy needs glasses bad,and what about calling SS's kick good when it wasnt? what is he watching?

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Gumnuts...ruins football

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

I don't think Gumble even likes football. He forces everything and shows no excitement. Collinsworth still annoys me but is getting a little better. I can't get his "Daniel Snyder = Minnie Me" comment out of my head from way back.

Luckily I got sick during the first quarter and went home. Laid in bed listening to Sonny and Sam the rest of the night. Trust me, the Redskins play waaay better when you close your eyes and listen to play-by-play on the radio.

YES!!! You guys also noticed this!!! I thought I was the only one. I was even making jokes about while at the game last night.

"Apparently annoyed fans are egging me right now. They appear to not like it when I whisper calls into the microphone."[/I]

He may have been thrown off by the fact that the FedEx scoreboard had the wrong info on it a bunch of times throughout the game.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

I'll still take these guys over the MNF crew that prefers talking to celebrities (or worse, Charles Barkley) and ignoring the game.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

NFLN is a joke. The only good part of last nights broadcast was the ST tribute. They can't call a game worth shit, thier presentation is old and annoying. Thier "field" reporters are pretty horrible and don't know how to talk, and somehow they can get the rights to show the game, and nobody else?
Seems like the commish or someone can step in and tell them to improve, or they lose thier "exclusive" thrusday night access.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Between Gum hole and the commercials hands down NFL Network sux worse than Fox's first year when they took over from CBS. This was without question such biased pro Bears anti- Redskins I actually think Aikman is balanced and fair.

Jayne Pauley could do better than BG, Collinsworth made some decent points but some observations where from out in left field. Why are the TV stations flooded with the 'Skins bashers?? The network cuts away while JC is writhing in pain, we have no idea what is happining with Fred Smoot on the sideline. But man Devon Hester is gonna run for fukkin President accordin to Bryant Gushhole.

Glad the Skins are done with this Network for this season. I'm calling Comcast and cancelling NFLN today.

Oh, come on, I get Betts and Cooley confused all the time. At training camp I totally ran up to Betts and asked if he could do a "Captain Chaos" inscription, it's a pretty common mistake :doh:

Well my wife could kick Gumbel's butt as a commentator (Lady Brave might take issue too) so hopefully you're talking about the dulcet tones with which Gumbel spews forth his nonsensical observations.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

i was driving home around halftime, and listening on the radio. Dick Enberg was doing the game for west-wood 1. if he is available, why not him for the NFL network? i think Collingsworth would be OK in a situation where he doesn't have to carry the broadcast team. and they must be bad if someone wants Mike Tirico instead. because other then Gumble, Tirico is the worst

Gumbel sounds like a female to you? What kind of women are you hanging out with dude?

[QUOTE=Lady Brave;390619]Gumbel sounds like a female to you? What kind of women are you hanging out with dude?[/QUOTE]

Seriously. I miss Phyllis George and Jayne Kennedy!

I'm worried about Gumbel's health. He sounds like he was having mini-strokes throughout the broadcast.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Gumbel is just horrible. After last week's horrible performance, I really didn't think the guy could top that, but he did.

I mean, I lost track of the amount of times he called the wrong player by name and misinformed the viewers. Another thing, after Campbell went down with the injury it seemed like there was no sense of urgency reporting what exactly was wrong with him. And they never did say what happened to Rex Grossman.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

How does Gumbel have a career in any sort of broadcasting arena? Does he have pictures of Deion and Roger Goodall in bed together? Has Satan offered him the deal of a lifetime? Worst announcer ever! Give me the guy who announces over the PeeDee Cardinals under 12 videos any time over this worthless human.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Bryant Gumbel needs to be taken care of ala Old Yeller. Collingsworth is pretty full of himself. There has to be a decent play by play guy and a decent color guy out there worth their weight in fruit roll-ups that isn't under contract by Fox, CBS, NBC or the Evil Empire...

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Joey T. is out there isn't he?

NFLN should sign up his ass quick.

Hell, bring back the entire old Sunday Night crew. Mike Patrick, Paul Maguire, and Joey T. I miss that team. They were solid.

Re: NFL Network booth horrible again tonight
 

Gumbel shouldn't be doing sports and either should Collinsworth, he's pompous

if we were basing the decision on voices alone, I'd much rather do gumbel than kathleen turner...

Bryant Mumble!!!!!!
