Bryant Gumbel will no longer do play-by-play for NFL Network

THANK GOD! Great move. I hate Gumble. Bad announcer, terrible human being.

I like his brother, though.

As bad as he was, it must have been kind of tedious getting rid of a high profile guy like that. "But we've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions."
Yes, all of us.

I imagine NFL Network must have initiated it. Good for them; they could have let it ride another season.

Ouch! They both have very annoying voices, to me. I don't know whether to call it nasal, or what. Each to his own, of course.

I'm not crazy about Gregg's voice either, but at least he is insightful and not nearly so smarmy.

My favorite Gumbel call last year....

"The kick is up and it's good....NO he missed it....my bad."

My personal top 3 of likely available announcers: #1-Kevin Harlan; #2 Tom Harmon (possible ND conflict); #3-Mike Patrick.

Let Shannon Sharpe give it a shot!

i'm very interested in hearing why he's a terrible human being.

Seriously.

Please fill me in on why he stinks. I already don't like him, so this would be enjoyable.

thanks buddy.

Gumble did sucked so bad for commentating. They should put greeny and golic to do it. just IMO

We can do better than them......if they did it we would get a Jets update inbetween every play. Maybe they can bring Salisbury in, he's out of work!

I couldn't be more pleased, it was just painful watching a game on NFLN....good news!

He's just infamously demeaning, insulting, and condescending bordering on cruel. He also has a wacky "dad complex". Google "Bryant Gumbel And His Mother" and you'll find some interesting things about he kicked her to the curb after his father died. I'm basing my statements on what I've read. Maybe in real life he's a sweetheart.

Though he's not.

Anyway, he's an especially crappy commentator.

There is a god.

My girlfriend is pissed Gumble got fired. Gumbel was the only announcer that made her feel like she actually knew more about football than the guys on TV. Oh well.

On the plus side, we can finally hope to get a quality TV on the fall lineup next season:

it's good to see that, occasionally, rationality prevails and truly bad commentators get the boot. By way of contrast, how many years did it take to end the Dennis Miller error on Monday Night?
