Those two are a hell of a lot better than the first two they had. I think it was Bryant Gumbel and ... the name escapes me. But it was so bad I had to turn it off and listen to the radio even though it was out of synch.

he got the punt return call (Miami?) but otherwise I never thought he added much to the game.

Agreed.

He was a cheerleader -- whichever team was hot at the moment, he slobbered them. Chucky does the same thing.

OMG. They were turrible. He had two -- Bob Popa and Matt Millen.

Sorry, I can't stand him. I thought he was going to bust a nut in the booth going on and on about A.J. Green.

If nothing else, we won't have to hear about is alleged bias anymore.

I always thought he was a Raven's hater.

Whoa Nellie! the only better news would be if it was immediate

I liked him as a player, but absolutely detest him as an announcer. I wrote a long email about how bad he was to ABC back in '95 after the 49ers vs. Chargers Superbowl. Good bye Dan.

Its was Gumbel and Collinsworth.

I can't stand Cris but Bryant just seem to be mailing it in.
