FReepmail scott says to be added to, or to be taken off the NFL Ping list...
This is a fairly high volume ping list

I had no idea they had hired Gumbel for this. That's a great way to start your broadcast era - NOT! To say that Gumbel is an insufferable pr*ck is an insult to pr*cks everywhere!

Few people can succeed so well at being a serial a--hole.

I suspect he's probably on his way out. Thank God.

It was bad enough that they had hired Chris Collinsworth but when they picked Gumbel I swore I'd listen to the games on the radio.

Gumbel has always been a self-important preening sleaze.

I hope he gets booted. I would hate my Sunday afternoon football get tainted with images of this leftwing nutzoid.

Always smart to rip the outgoing boss when he hand picks his successor. /s

I'd rather listen to Rosie O'Donnell doing the games than that self righteous a-hole.

Bryant Gumbel, scheduled to be the play-by-play broadcaster on the eight late-season games on the NFL's in-house network

This leads me to the inescapable conclusion that the NFL has its' collective head up its' a$$.

Ditto.

He is insufferable. His brother, however, is quite good.

Can they get CBS to get rid of Greg as well?

I didn't either. Gumbel is such a loser, and BORING.

He is. I can't believe they're brothers.

I actually like him as a play by play guy. He's going back to that because CBS got James Brown back. He's teaming up with Dierdorf.

Gumbel knows that the NFL won't do anything. As soon as they attempt to give him even a slap on the wrist he'll throw out the race card. He's done it in the past and I don't see him passing up the opportunity to save this gig.
