NFL NETWORK who can stand Bryant Gumble??

Is it just me, or does it absolutely suck to have to pay a PREMIUM to get the NFL network, and then have to listen to BRYANT GUMBLE give the Play by Play...

He has the WORST football voice in the ENTIRE WORLD... He sounds like a GOD DAMN GIRL, or at best HALF GAY..... :gheywave:

It is driving me absolutely INSANE!!!!!!!!

I have to turn the MUTE ON, i can not take it..

Please tell me i am NOT the ONLY one PLEASE.....

IF i am I am going to have to myself...


Chime in and let me know what you think

If his voice bothers you that much, yes... mute it and try to find the game on a AM station... but it might bother you that the TV will have a few seconds delay (vs. the AM broadcasting)

He is terribly boring, and killing this game. I'm guessing he's paired with Collinsworth so Chris won't start doing bumps and spouting off only the kind of stuff Collinsworth spouts.

Bryant Gumble = The Game Killer


Thank God this is only costing $7.00 per month.

He's not as bad as I thought he would be, but he brings absolutely nothing to the broadcast... I liked his brother better...

He's ok as a host for a show, but just doesn't cut it as a announcer for a game...

I can tolerate him, but there's alot better people out there...

BTW, did the NFL Network have Gumble/Collinsworth working last weeks ATL/IND game?


Also, what the hell is wrong with Deions sideline mic?

Judging by the poor, oh, everything, the NFL Network doesn't seem to have much of a production budget for these games. That is pretty sad considering I'm watching an NFL game on the NFL Network. Hello...............your the NFL Network, and you only have one thing to cover..........THE NFL.............how did you screw this up so bad?

The HD picture is sweet, probably 1080i and I think Collinsworth is solid.

Gumbel sucks, but so do 80% of announcers.

Yes, they will be doing every god damn game.... It is pathetic...

Also, the cheesy cheap ass wendy's signs in the background at halftime looked so unprofessional..... No wonder why all cable companies wont pick the NFL network up........ They do a lot of the off field stuff very well and have a lot of coverage but they really need to replace Gumble... He is going to do for NFL network what Dennis Miller did for MNF

I hate it when the announcers try so hard to be creative by saying things like "...120 seconds left in the half" instead of 2 minutes

or when they state pointless/worthless info./facts about a player...

My absolute favorite was when they showed Brett Favre on the sideline holding his arm and then Gumble said "that is like having Superman catch a cold"..... Does it get any more gay than that... I think not

He took a shot, and can't feel his fingers well enough to throw the ball.

Game was also on TSN up here. As soon as it was over they went straight to Sportscentre. First thing the guy behind the desk says is "thank god we don't have to listen to Bryant Gumble anymore"

Gumbel's race is officially listed as "indeterminate". Unofficially, he's an odd mix of honky and mocha with a twist of gay.

he was calling the cowboy's coach mike mccarthy, and i dont think he got anyones name right the whole game. he and dan dierdorf should partner up on a network in BFE where the players have no names.

^ Fixed.


But I agree, Gumbel is the worst I've ever seen, with Dierdorf a distant second.




Can you imagine if Shannon Sharpe tried play-by-play?

My favorite quotes from the night-

Collinsworthless- "Jmarcus Ware, what a tool that guy is."

- "Romo has Magic Johnson qualities"- I keep bugging my cowboy fan friend going Romo has the HIV

It was horrible.

I think it was Bradford (not a cowboys fan) that got hurt and Gumble called him like 8 different people before he got it right.

- "and roy williams heads to the sideline, check that, Brady James, oh wait no Jmarcus Ware, Barber, no it is number 58........long pause....... Bradford."

Gumble is not the best. It sounded like he and Colinsworth were not even in the same room on that broadcast last night. On another note, I bet Colinsworth is making a ton of cash during football season. You see him on hbo, nfln and one of the local channels.
