When someone makes a terrible mispronunciation of a player name, or botches a fact, I call it making a "Gumbel" - kind of like a Munson.
I'm not sure if the NFL Network thought maybe he'll get better... or maybe they weren't sure if this whole "football" thing would catch on, or maybe they just didn't want to embarass this guy by pulling the plug on him mid-season, but I knew after about 30 seconds of listening to this clown that he was HURTING!
Some of my favorite memories of Bryant Gumbel ... refering to Tony Romo as "Antonio Romo" and questioning the New Orleans fans for "Booing" Deuce MacAllister (they were yelling Dooooce!).
Please share your favorite "Gumbles" below!
