NFLN is a joke. The only good part of last nights broadcast was the ST tribute. They can't call a game worth shit, thier presentation is old and annoying. Thier "field" reporters are pretty horrible and don't know how to talk, and somehow they can get the rights to show the game, and nobody else?
Seems like the commish or someone can step in and tell them to improve, or they lose thier "exclusive" thrusday night access.
Well lets see they are the NFL and the NFL network is owned by the NFL so its easy for them to get the rights to the game.They own the station.

if we were basing the decision on voices alone, I'd much rather do gumbel than kathleen turner...
Good choice.
I've actually been around Kathleen Turner on a film set once. What a biatch.

Patrick and Theisman I'll give you. But McGuire made me want to eat a bullet. He was Kornheiser without the likability.

Great news, but did you see this part?
Gumbel, meanwhile, will rest up for the network's Saturday night game between the Bengals and 49ers. He will work the game with Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk as Collinsworth prepares for his Sunday job on NBC's Football Night in America.
I have three words for that.
Worst.
Booth.

At least we get the "A+" team for the next two weeks games. Al Michaels and John Madden. That's Great!

Madden is a Has Been.... I think he is approaching senility... Heck maybe he is already there.... 1 thing is for sure... Madden won't have anything good to say about the Redskins...I do like Michaels....

Seriously. I miss Phyllis George and Jayne Kennedy!
I'm worried about Gumbel's health. He sounds like he was having mini-strokes throughout the broadcast.
Wow. A Phyllis and Jayne reference. I wonder what the breakdown is on the Warpath between those who get the reference and those who don't.
This was a pleasure to find on Youtube. You know what I used as the search phrase? Irv Cross.

lol awww. Madden's gotta have a few marbles still rollin around in the old noggin. I haven't heard his commentary in a longggg time. So it will be interesting to see what he has to say. It cant' be any worse than Gumbel rambling on about nothing and mixing up players.
