How bad was Bryant Gumble?

[98NCCalum]

They really couldn't get anyone better?

 

I love Collinsworth, Gumble needs to go.

[h.s.sportsrbest]

Bryant was abysmal -- awful.

 

I like Cris, but if I'm a Raven fan, he would've drove me crazy. He was as big a homer as I've heard on a National Broadcast. That being said, it didn't bother me at all.

I didn't watch on TV because I was there but thats all they were talking about this morning on the radio.

I agree, but Gumble kept bringing it up as well.

 

There were a couple of times I noticed Cris being a bit homer-ish, but I can't imagine how hard it must be living here, and seeing and hearing and not leaning one way or another.

Agreed...but that is why they make millions of dollars a year right? Because it's hard? Not being flippant, but jobs that get paid that way should be hard, and the folks with those jobs should be able to pull it off.

Do you not remember the Alamo Bowl last year between NU and Michigan, with Mike Tirico announcing? I don't know if it was homerism, but every other word out of his mouth condemed NU and praised Michigan. Last play of the game: "Nebraska" is out on the field. "Nebraska" should be penalized and "Michigan" should be given another play. Did he have his eyes closed or something? There were just as many UM players on the field as there were NU. It made me sick to listen to him call that game. He went on the WHOLE time about how great Michigan was. But they obviously weren't great enough. :laugh:

It was like listening to someone running their fingers across the chalkboard all night.

Howcould anyone like Collinsworth? He's HORRIBLE.

[jahearme]

I tried to watch the brodcast of the game last week and after watching and listening to Gumble I told myself "NEVER AGAIN!"

Is that the best the NFL Network (which I think is a big scam anyway) can do?

I'm 99.9% sure he lives around Detroit.

[stick1]

Gumble was AWFUL!!

[98NCCalum]

Ann Arbor.

 

Mike Tirico traces his educational background back to his teenage days at Bayside High School in Queens, New York. At Bayside, Tirico was an active member of the golf team. He currently resides in the college town of Ann Arbor, Michigan and is a frequent spectator of the Michigan State Spartans and Michigan Wolverines sports teams.

Yep. That would explain it then.
