Someone who may be the creator of this thread may have a pm in their mailbox but it doesn't relate to this thread at all and it certainly did not come from yours truly.

The person, who will remain totally anonymous, told me to inquire if lukethedrifter wanted one as well.

again, Gumble is horrible.

And what the heck is Deion doing in these sideline reports? He's just kinda standing there talking out into the field and has what looks like a giant satellite dish on his butt under his coat.

I saw the governor of Cheesehead Land gritching on some cable news show today because they don't get the NFL Network in the Governor's Mansion. I guess most cheddar heads don't get the channel across the state either.

Based on how the game is progressing and how serious Favre's injury is, that may turn out to be a blessing.

With Aaron freaking Rodgers leading the comeback of the century, I'm not so sure it is a good thing...

How many freaking times can you refer to one team by the other team's name?

He's about as exciting as a jar of unsalted mixed nuts.

"Aaron Rodgers hasn't taken many snaps." No kidding, Bryant, he backs up a guy who's started 260 frikkin' games.

When I watch Deion on TV, it feels like I just turned on the spanish soap opera channel, and I'm trying to figure out who's sleeping with who based on their facial expressions.

2nd biggest game of the year and half the country can't watch it and the half that does is almost put to sleep by Gumble's voice and style.

The broadcast also had many audio problems.

I will say this, they have some of the best HD cameras in football right now, but that shouldn't be too hard since they only need one set, correct? I don't think they do any other games each week, if I'm not mistaken, and they have no other sporting events to cover to need other HD camera sets for.
