There is a God.

In the words of one of my favorite high school coaches, it looks like he "got resigned."

 

[BYH]

There is a God.

Seriously, I was going to post exactly that.

There is a God.

Seriously, I was going to post exactly that.

I was fortunate enough to be taking a brief respite at the time, and eagerly
embraced my chance.

Thank goodness.

 

[Left_Coast]

Oh, happy day.

And it should be an easy replacement.

"We wish Bruce good luck in his future endeavors,'' Rick Romo said in a statement.

 

[Stone Cane]

He was suck.

NFL-N had to wait till the lowest ebb of the offseason (and take-out-the-trash Friday, at that) to admit they made a mistake. That's telling.

Many can disagree on this announcer or that announcer on how bad they suck or this or that, but I do believe we can all unite on this one and say this was a two-year embarrasment for NFLN on its biggest undertaking thus far, live NFL games.

Pat Summerall

Pat Summerall got that way because of advancing age; Bryant Gumbel got that way because of advancing arrogance.

Pat Summerall got that way because of advancing age; Bryant Gumbel got that way because of advancing arrogance.

Gumbel comes across as a person who thinks he knows everything. He's just so smug and he doesn't put any thought or energy into what he says. during the games. So in other words -- HE SUCKS!!

 

[Ben_Hecht]

Pat Summerall got that way because of advancing age; Bryant Gumbel got that way because of advancing arrogance.

We all know how Summerall got "that way" . . . and age didn't help it, a bit. Leave it at that.

You all know what this means, right?

I like Gumbel on Real Sports, but he was just awful calling games.
