They have Dick V in the booth, but his voice is hoarse, so they brought Marshall in also, so it's not bad as long as Gumbel is quiet.

Now Dick V is out and Deion is in, but Gumbel is still doing a nice job talking over Marshall. :x

Just pay attention to the shot clock Gumbel. :notworking:

I found the secret to ignoring Gumbell.

That ref out there tonight is the key. Listen to him when he announces the penalties..."Holding on defense, number 91. Five yard penalty, first down. Also, watch me soon on my new show, 'Mens on Football.'"

Note: You'll only get the pun if you used to watch 'In Living Color', rated "Three snaps in a Z formation".

Gumbel just said the Saints can clinch the NFC West with a win tomorrow. LOL

yeah I heard that too...what an absolute moron. He sounds awful, and sounds like he doesn't know anything about football (and with that quote he had, that just proves it right there...)

There were so many I couldn't even bother keeping track. One that does stick out in my mind is when the GB kicker slipped while kicking the FG, Gumbel said he slipped on his pivot foot. LOL Pivot foot is a basketball term, interesting that last week he called the play clock a shot clock another basketball term. It's not the kicker's pivot foot Gumbel, it's his plant foot. LOL

Exactly and I can't remember how many times he said the ball carrier was stopped for no gain and the runner actually had positive yardage. Also the complete opposite, runner was stopped short of the line of scrimmage and Gumbel said he had a short gain.:x
