Gumble is the worst announcer in history folks! I about fell asleep listening to that bumbling idiot in all his monotone glory.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

I was really touched by the way they honored Sean last night.

Boy, Sunday is going to be crazy emotional.

[QUOTE=Mattyk72;386065]Gumble is pretty bad in the booth.

Overall an entertaining game. Rodgers played well, I was surprised at that. I think not having Woodson in there really hurt the Packers.[/QUOTE]

I am not sure that would have made a difference. When TO runs across the field nobody can cover him, and probably all except DeAngelo Hall are afraid to jam him at the line. I know you are a Farve Fan, but the Dallas Secondary is their weakness. This was an opportunity to to show what he could do. 5-14 and 2 INTs.

I thought that last pass interference call that set up the final Cowboys TD was pretty suspect. I didn't think it was pass interference, though I could see the argument for it. Still, when it's so close like that it's a shame to see a good tight game like that essentially decided by the refs and not the teams.

I agree that was a touchy call. At first I thought it was PI all the way, but the replay showed it could have gone either way.

Anybody else that can't stand the SOUND of Gumbel's high pitched nasally voice? The commentary was pathetic and you could hear Collinsworth try to control himself from making B.G. sound like a complete jackass. I swear Gumbel knows almost nothing more than any fan anywhere regarding football. I kept waiting for him to throw out little chestnuts like, "you know, there are 4 downs in a possession, unless a team makes a first down, then they get 4 more downs" and "Tony Romo plays quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys."

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Did anyone catch it that Gumbel referred to the Cowboys 3 times as the Packers in the first quarter! I couldn't believe it the 2nd time, but then he did it again talking about Barber; "Mike McCarthy calls him the heart of the Packer offense."

The nfl network just sounds & feels weird, I don't care much for it.

And what was up w/them showing Deion's mike cord coming out his ass? I thought the intent of tucking the cord beneath the jacket was to conceal it, not for the camera man to zoom in on while he's talking.

LOL Gumbel is so bad.

The NFLN still has a long way to go as far as covering games go.

You know what pissed me off the most? The fact that they didn't display what quarter it was on the screen. Half the game I found myself saying, "What F'ing quarter is it??"

Yeah, that was funny - them showing Deion's ass with the mike attached to it.

But you're right, there is something very awkard about them broadcasting games.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

[quote=TheMalcolmConnection;386061]I still think TO makes him look a lot better than he is. I'll stand by that until TO retires, then we'll see for sure.[/quote]
TO will make a QB look better but Romo still makes allot of plays on his own.

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

Romo is good, I'm done trying to deny it.

Finally a Hispanic is making it as an NFL QB!! I still have a shot :)

Re: Packers vs. Cowboys
 

For those that missed the beginning of the game it was extremely emotional. One minute the place is electric. Texas Stadium was as loud as I've ever heard over the announcer's mics. The game announcer came across asking for a moment of silence for Sean Taylor and I swear you could hear a pin drop. It wasn't just the players or the coaches, but the entire stadium was quiet.
