Random Quote II - "Kellen Clemens just got pummelled from behind by DeMarcus Ware" - Jim Nantz

I think Jim stayed up too late Thanksgiving eve watching 'Pulp Fiction'.

I thought the game Nessler vermeil and jaws callled was the 2nd games of the MNF Double header

Nantz was godawful yesterday.

Story after story about someone's dog dying, their Dad, their Dad dying, a trip to France, a nice recipe for peach cobbler...

It just didn't stop...ever...the whole game was like watching the HG channel.

When did football become Entertainment Tonight? It sounded like he gave more prep time to those stupid little stories than the game itself.

Awful.

Thats right, Nessler, Jaws and Vermil did the second game of the MNF doubleheader last season they never called a game for NFL Network.

Yeah, what was up with that? Every time CBS came back form a commercial break, Nantz mentinoned someone dying. That's the last thing you want to hear on Thanksgiving

You're all right....sorry T-Giving Day hangovers suck.

I heard the first half on Westwood radio with Dick Enberg and Dennis Green. Dennis Green was surprisingly great, adding good insight from a recent coach.

And then I got home and caught it on NFL Network. Oh god. I couldn't listen to Gumbel for longer than 8mins. They weren't even calling plays by the end of the 3rd. They were talking about Cowboys - Packers.

We heard a lot abot the Momma Nantz pie yesterday

Nothing says "football on Thanksgiving is great" like a nice long winded 9-piece Ken Burns-esque story about cancer and death.

It adds so much to the game.

Nantz is elevating his game to new highs of awful.

Just turn football into Entertainment Tongiht already, at least let us look at Mary Hart's cans and legs.

NFL on the radio is so much better. It's ironic that the guy's on radio speak way less than the announcers on TV. Maybe they have to describe the game more, but I prefer it.

Dave Sims is the Gus Johnson of radio...mixes in a lot of "Goodness Gracious!"

It's not that Gumbel is boring. It's that he doesn't know that he's calling a game on TV, not radio. He feels the need to narrate every last thing. And he also strangely obsesses over whether the play is on "this side" (meaning the bottom of the screen) or not.

"Manning throws, this side, to Addai."
"Addai takes the ball, cuts this side, now looks to the right. Back tot his side. 4 yards."

AA, you take that back...Agreed, Gumbel is atrocious, with zero energy and perhaps the most annoying voice in sports...But Theesmann renders the viewer measurably dumber with every single word that falls out of his piehole...May he remain in exile forever...

--White Hammer

They need to get Marshall "Who He!?" Faulk back in the lineup.

Yeah, Gumbel BLOWS A$$. Probably the worst announcer EVER. He is so boring, and doesn't know football. Why the hell the NFL network would want to hire them is beyond me. Oh, he's a respected (I think, although I don't know why), safe, black journalist (is he?)/personality, sign him up. Give me a break. He is a JOKE, I absolutely hate the guy (and I didn't even see the game).

Replace Kornheiser with Vermeil on MNF.

for gosh skaes it's "Cris" not "Chris"

Nice, Cris.

But anyways. Gumbel is horrible. I had seen the apology info on here, and so at first when I was listening I thought I might have just been looking for things to talk shit about... But was absolutely horrible. He doesn't know anything about what's going on, and he can't get any names right.

I'm now not so pissed that I don't get to see the NFL Network games.
