Nfl Network

[NT03]

I don't know if they permanently replaced him or what , but he is just terrible ... terrible at calling games.

Is it me , or is he the worst play by play there is ??

I've actually turned the game off the last 2 weeks and just followed in on the game tracker so I wouldn't have to listen to him

He's pretty damn bad, and definitely reading a lot of things off of cue cards. I hate the NFL network in general, because unless it's a home game I can't watch Thursday night games. Also, wtf at being beat by Houston.

this isnt the Texans team of the past... even with all the injuries (the most players on IR in the league), the defense is becoming a cohesive unit, thanks in large part to Mario Williams. 3.5 sacks tonight, 13 on the season... I'd say he's finally earning that draft spot. Great game for Texans fans!

Also, I thought tonight's crew did pretty well. I actually enjoyed listening to them. Can't say that often.

Bryant Gumbel was supposedly sick. Tom Hammonds isn't much better, but Gumbel is the second worst....Sam Smith being #1.

The red uniforms were horrendous. I'm a lifelong Cowboys fan and used to like the Oilers. Now living in Houston, I'm trying to like the Texans, but they are boring to watch, the "Battle Red/Steel Blue" uniform/marketing promotions are ridiculous.

The Texans don't have "throwback" uniforms, so they throw in different combinations. Not sure what's with the cynicism. The actual Texans fans kind of like it, nice to mix it up now and then. I thought the red looked cool. Frankly I don't care if they wear pink and purple as long as they continue playing like they did last night.

I just think the naming of the colors, Battle Red and Blue Steel, is funny. I prefer their basic uniform and love the logo.

Would you have preferred Le Tigra or Ferrari?

Separated at birth?

I know Peter and Steve like it, but did you check with Dave before you tried to speak for all of them?

I speak on behalf of all Texans fans. Don't question me!

As a Texans fan, I liked it...but I still prefer the blue (my favorite color). Plus, the blue kind of reminds me of the "Love ya, Blue" Oilers. Ahhh, memories.

Gumbel is just flat out boring. His monotone nature makes the game less enjoyable. Thank goodness Deion Sanders and Marshall Faulk are holding their own during tonight's game.
