Gumbel is terrible

Anyone watch the Whiner game on Saturday?? Bryant Gumbel has to be the worse sports announcer since putting Dennis Miller in the booth. He talks like he is reading the game and he continued to call Frank Gore, "Al Gore". He is not doing any favors for the NFL Channel IMO.

Yeah, but he had his best game ever on Thursday! It was like he was a completely different person.

I counted him calling Frank Gore "Al" twice. I think he did it three times last year. It's pathetic.

Hehe I love this thread. I made this thread last year and obviously Gumbel is still horrible. One thing that always got me that he did change in the last game is that he calls quarters periods instead. The last game he actually said quarter, I was shocked. We will see if he sticks with quarter this Thurs during the Rams game.

Gumbel is so bad that I actually enjoyed Tom Hammond (and all of his mistakes) who replaced Gumbel a week ago when he was sick. Maybe Gumbel will have a cold for the Rams game also. One can hope.
