Who’s Idea Was It To Have Bryant Gumble Do Play-By-Play?
A reader emailed me tonight to complain about Bryant Gumble doing the play-by-play for tonights only-seen-on-the-NFL-channel matchup between the Cowboys and the Packers. I was skeptical when he told me Gumble was doing it. I had to ask if maybe he meant Bryant’s brother Greg, but he said no. It’s Bryant Gumble doing play-by-play.
And apparently doing it terribly.
I can’t watch, unfortunately, because I don’t have the NFL Network, but I can about imagine what Gumble trying to call a game sounds like. I could barely stand the guy when he was on The Today Show. If the NFL wants this network thing to pan out, they need to invest in some on-air talent.
