Thank god. Best news I've heard all day.

Bryant Gumbel and the NFL Network have listened to the call of millions of football fans and decided to go in a new direction for NFL telecasts.

The Network said Friday that they are shopping for a new play-by-play announcer to work with Chris Collinsworth on all of the NFL'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."

They probably fired his boring ass.

Gumbel had received several complaints from football fans for his bland, disconnected coverage of football games the past two years and it looks like the NFL Network noticed it too.
