Will Bryant Gumbel Cheapen Our Historical Moment? - New England Patriots Forums

MRBLAZE · 12-26-2007, 06:02 PM

Having memories of Bryant Gumbel calling this game would be like bringing a paid escort to your brothers wedding. No matter how much time passes, that is a black eye on the occasion forever.

I am hoping somebody poisons his lunch and he comes down with a temporary stomach flu like they do when rigging Tennis matches, this may be our only hope boys.

Hahaha.

To be honest, I really don't feel the hate everyone else does towards the guy.

Is he bad? Yes. Is he so bad I feel inclined to mute the television? No. The only time that has ever happened was during that horridly commentated Pats/Ravens MNF game, when the booth became an absolute circus.

Sure he’s bad, but I’m not holding my ears screaming ‘LALALA’ when he comes on as just about everyone else is.

Bryant Gumbel is the Patriots biggest challenge going into week 17.

"It would appear to be enough for a first down!!!" ICK!

I'm likely going to do my darnedest to sync up G&G with my finished recording...

I could cue the audio of a Will & Grace episode to the Patriots game and still get better calls than Bryant Gumbel.

I don't think he's that bad. I much prefer him and Collinsworth over the ESPN clowns. It's just a shame that Gumbel sounds like Kermit the Frog.

I do...

I actually prefer ESPN and Joe Theisman over Bryant Gumbel.

I would take a crew of Dennis Miller, Tony K, Joe Theisman and a sideline broadcast by John Madden over Bryant Gumbel.

I actually hate watching this man talk and perfrom on TV.

Just picturing such a thing made me laugh.

I think I dislike him more than you, but I think you get to the worst thing about him, apart from everything else. His VOICE sucks. It's impossible for him to convey excitement with that little simpy voice of his.
