Oh, this is rich. Watching the Packers play the Cowboys tonight gave me a good laugh. First of all, the hoopla surrounding another regular season game is crazy. They had a countdown to kickoff when I turned the game on at 8:00 PM. They were trying to make it out to be a mini playoff game. Mr. NFL Network, Rich Eisen, claimed that the winner of the game would "virtually be playing every playoff game at home up till the Super Bowl". If they are both 10-1 and this is the 12th game, there are still 4 weeks left. The winner of this game could easily go 2-2 couldn't they? To say "virtually" there is very misleading. Anyway, on to Bryant. Gumbel looks at Collinsworth leading up to kickoff and says "Cris, the Packers are near the top of the league in passing and dead last in running, how are they getting it done?"
I swear I heard crickets.
Collinsworth: "umm, with their passing game."
What else is he supposed to say????????? So, here's the best part. I think every time I've mentioned Bryant Gumbel on this site - I've made a comment about him being more white than half of my friends. I searched Google images to find a recent picture of him to use here and the one I posted is from HBO's site (my lawyer says to put here that I'll take the photo down if HBO requests it). When I right-clicked on the picture to save it, the name of the image came up:
bryant_gumbel_white_bg
No kidding!!! Bryant Gumbel White Black Guy!!!! Oh, that means white background? Crap. White Black Guy is much funnier.
