LOS ANGELES -- Bryant Gumbel has given up his role as an NFL Network play-by-play announcer after two seasons.

The NFL Network said Friday it was looking for a new play-by-play announcer to work with Cris Collinsworth on the network's Thursday and Saturday night games.

"I thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to call NFL Network games the past two years, which was a new experience for me," Gumbel said in a statement. "But we've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions."

From the 'about damn time' file

He was the worst I'd ever heard.

Well, that's a damned shame....

If they're looking for a comparable talent, I've heard "Boom Goes The Dynamite" guy is in search of a job.

They need to get Vermeil to do color full time. He rocks.

Thank You Bryant. Yes we all will be better off. Mostly the audience.

Agreed. Vermeil's excellent.

Is that a choir of angels I hear singing?

Awesome. He ****ing horrible at it.

Yeah, Bumble made this decision of his own free will.

ULTIMATUM

When you make Collinsworth sound decent you KNOW your terrible.

I'll second this.

Third, ya bastard.
