Default we need to talk about mon/thur nite football

Ok, nfl network has created Thursday night football, I love it. A game on Thursday night to support my gambling addiction. But come on...Bryant Gumball??? I keep waiting to hear him say some chit like..."Its a rainy Monday morning here in New York!" Please send him back to the morning talk shows where he belongs. He doesn't even sound knowledgable about football, its like hes riding the coattails of his cohost.

AND one more small outburst. Send Monday Night Football back to...it was CBS right? Or was it ABC. At anyrate ESPN has sent MNF to the grave. Whats with all the interviewing people on the field in the middle of plays??? And I just cant watch it with out the DUN DUN TUN DUn music. Call me old school and afraid to change but I liked the other station having MNF.

I think Monday Night Football was on ABC...I liked it better when it was on ABC too...I really love the idea about Saturday/Thursday games, can't get enough football...I just wish Cablevision thought so as well...

Yeah Gumball sucks as an announcer. Should stick to Today shows and Real Sports (and I'm a fan of neither). And as far as ESPN? Sorry, they spent like 10 billion dollars to buy MNF rights for the next 9 seasons.

I liked it better the old way as well. The internet generation and the like have destroyed old network deals and such.

ok it is nfl network, gumble is announcing. BACK to morning talk little man!

it is gonna be a sad sad night if this is favres last home game like they are incinuating. Favre deserves a better announcer on his possible last nite at home

However, I don't see him retiring this year. he has too much gas left in the tank.

I love NFL Network. E(ast Coast)SPN sucks during the MLB offseason so I only watch NFL Network now.

My favorite Gumbel quote was when he talked about "Al" Gore's great game against Seattle.
