Now who is going to let us know that it's "the two minute morning" before halftime and the end of the game. I guess there goes my dream of the ultimate awful announcing team with him doing play by play and Emmitt doing color commentary. The game broadcasts will not be the same without Bryant Gumble.

Always have. I hope he stays. I am very curious to see who replaces Gumbel. It's probably someone on staff already. I honestly could see Faulk doing it if he chose to work hard to do it properly. He is very good at what he does, but they are looking for the play by play guy...I love NFLN. Oh and SeanMartin, how could Gumbel singlehandedly drive you away from NFLN? I mean seriously the Network has solid coverage 24/7/365 with no trace of Gumbel except for 30 hours per year. And if it is a good game nobody would refuse to watch it just because Gumbel is calling it. He sucked, but if you watch anything but the lead games year around like on Sunday Ticket or local TV, you get as bad or worse on CBS covering Dolphins/Texans games.

I would love to watch information on other teams that I normally couldn't see. I wish I had the NFLN." Then I was introduced to Gumbel. He single handedly pushed me away from the NFLN. Who wants this guy (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7792606446647744479&q=bryant+gumbel&total=69&start=0&num=100&so=0&type=search&plindex=1) talking about their team?

No, not why did he leave, but I never figured out what he was doing there in the first place. His ex-Today co-host Jane Pauley would have been better to listen to. The question is why?

He was the worst announcer in football. He put you to sleep and had no idea what was happening. I guess he finally lost the pictures he had of someone. Oh thank god!

He is Big Paulies puppet. The interest of the game should have been his secondary concern. The interest of the players is all he gets paid to represent. Gumble was the worst football announcer on TV by a landslide though. He was right about Upshaw. He is Big Paulies puppet. The interest of the game should have been his secondary concern.

What a worthless waste he was. He almost single-handedly ruined the telecasts on NFLN for me. He will not be missed. What a worthless waste he was.
