This is too funny!!!
The job status of Bryant Gumbel, scheduled to be the play-by-play broadcaster on the eight late-season games on the NFL's in-house network, could be the subject of a discussion by NFL officials after Gumbel's suggestion that Paul Tagliabue show his successor "where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash."

If you read the article it only gets better...
"Before he cleans out his office," Gumbel said. "Have Paul Tagliabue show you where he keeps Gene Upshaw's leash. By making the docile head of the players union his personal pet, your predecessor has kept the peace without giving players the kind of guarantees other pros take for granted. Try to make sure no one competent ever replaces Upshaw on your watch."
I think it is funny...

Any reason to bounce Gumbel as play-by-play guy for NFL network (he has never done play-by-play before) is a good one. That he is an asshole who says stupid things should not be a shock to anyone.
The team of Patrick and Riggo would be a big step up.

Gumbel is absolutely a whiny bitch. Just a few months ago he implied that the winter olympics are irrelevant not because they are stupid and arbitrary (which they are), but because there are not enough colored atheletes competing in them. Huh? He's crazy
Gene Upshaw is also insane, by the way.

Saying Gumbel is a borderline racist is like saying that TO is a borderline team killer.

Huh? I think Upshaw is basically considered the best union leader in sports. He keeps his guys paid and the sport going without labor stopages. Not easy to do.
