I've said it a dozen times...I think Gumbel is great.
He does what a play by play man is SUPPOSED to do...
Obejectivley call the action ON THE FIELD. I want down and distance, I want substitutions, I want injuries etc. He gives all of that and more. He focuses on the game.
If I want a human interest story or an aggenda I'll listen to Joe Buck or one of the other dozen carbon copy NFL play by play men do a game, if I want THE GAME I'll listen to Gumbel.
I know I'm going to get flamed for this but I don't care. He is quickly becoming my favorite play by play guy.
