Pssst! NFL Network, want to keep your viewers?

from JoeUser Forums

Hey NFL Network, want to keep your viewers, or perhaps bring in some more?  Try getting a real announcing team and ditching the worthless bums you currently have there.  Gumbel is beyond horrible, and adding on Collinsworth is insult added on top of injury.  Gumbel screws up team names for players, player names for players, and enough of the rest of the basic announcer provided information to leave you quickly impressed with just how brain damaged the guy must be.

Collinsworth is just a pompous and under informed idiot.  He thinks he knows what he's doing, thinks he has the answers for all of the teams he comments on, but in reality knows less about the game than I do and I will readily admit I know next to nothing.

Lose those two and you just might be able to get your viewers to watch your product.  Considering that Thursday Night Football should be the premiere sports product for viewers, instead these two clowns ruin the experience and leave me almost, but not quite, muting the audio.  Not quite because I don't even want to see the closed captioning that would come up automatically if I did mute it.

I agree, they suck.

Dont get it, so dont miss it.  Besides, I doubt my team is going to be on that network anytime soon.

But you are right, the announcers make the broadcast (if your team is not playing).  That is why Cossell was such a hot product, and Madden is still number 1.

The NFL network is starting to have college crap and you are worried about the commentators. Honestly why are they showing college football? If the want to keep viewers they need to do away with the college football coverage.
