Prior to being the Today Co-HOst he was the studio update guy for NBC’s NFL coverage.
He read the scripts ok.

He called the Home Depot Post-Game report the Wendy’s Post-Game Report, that’s usually not a good move to make…
Too bad about those poor folks that don’t have the NFL network. Really.

"And Favre is sacked, much like an Iraqi pre-teen is sacked by a Marine.
“Farve completes the pass, like the complete slaughter inflicted by American soldiers
“Brett Farve, hurt in the 3rd quarter, but not as much as American soldiers hurt innocent Iraqis
“The Dallas Cowboys, America’s Team: if only they had lost, Iran would be our pals

Wow, that was spooky, you sound just like Bryant Gumble, Bryant.
Oh, and I think it was his mother that came up with that brilliant idea.

Rob, its to bad that Myron Cope had his throat give out. Now THAT would be good game calling!

Rob,
I watched the game last night and cringed throughout at the play-by-play. Gumball isn’t the only problem, though....
Chris Collinworthless is a pompous ass and between the two of them it was more of the Gumball/Collinsworth opinion show than a football game.
NFL Network may have a corner on their market in cases like last night’s game, but they need to do something about their commentators.

Chris Collinworthless is a pompous ass
I think ”pencilneck geek” was the appellation du jour when he was on Fox!

Our cable co. gave its subscribers a free preview of the NFL channel last season. After finding out Bryant was a major player, I wouldn’t even watch it for free. If Greg was “the man”, I would watch.

Its only my opinion, of course, but the best play-by-play guy still has to be Al Michaels. The best pro football analyst is/was Joe Theisman.
Collinsworth’s commentary has that “Gee-Whiz” sense, like he can’t believe he’s really on TV. With Bryant Gumble it comes down to full of himself, or just full of shit… a difference without a distinction.

We prefer FOX’s football team, especially since The Chin joined the line. It took awhile for me to figure out what was different, then it hit me, Cowher is SMILING! Not something we are used to seeing. The Bus does well over at CBS, I just don’t like their camera work.
