    Better late than never, because this guy was brutal to listen to during his tenure with the NFL Network.

    As long as it doesn't involve a microphone they can do whatever they want, but sadly Bryant always seems to find a way back.

    Thank God! Gumballs was the most brutal Play by Play guy I have ever heard. He couldn't even get the players names right!

    Gumble was good when he was young but he really went down hill fast.

    I don't like him because his voice is whiny and too soft, and he messes up the play by play several times a game.

    Great move--I turn the TV down when he's on. "Over The Hill" gang is where Gumble belongs

    I'm going to miss his quips and side information that's irrelevant... He just wasn't good enough nor experienced enough to actually call the play right. Other than that, I thought he was fantastic... But that's a big doh when you're constantly messing up names or teams or downs. It didn't bother me since I get into the games and that information is irrelevant to me, but I can see why no one liked him.

    Tony would be just as bad at Gumbel in my opinion. Tony bombed on MNF... He's worse than the sideline reporters trying to take there jobs seriously...

    I would pay to see someone put him in a room with a skunk for an hour.


    My problem with tony is tony is a great guy. PTI is great. But that doesn't mean your great on MNF or doing play by play. Nothing against Tony, but it didn't work well at all.

    His brother Greg Gumbel is actually an excellent play-by-play announcer.
