"I think the thing Bryant Gumbel said about Gene Upshaw and the owners is as uninformed as anything I've ever heard in a long, long time and quite inexecusable, because they are subjects about which he should be better informed," Tagliabue told a handful of writers this morning at the NFL headquarters in New York."
They sure did - proof is owners already saying it won't go beyond 2009 as written.
Bryant Gumbel is a pompous ass.....I enjoy his brothers announcing and hosting though.
I am uniquely qualified to make a (meaningless) connection here. Tagliabue's recently deceased cousin taught at Bates College in Maine, and Gumbel graduated from there. Not sure if Gumbel took a class with Tag.
