Is it me or does Bryant Gumbel sound really out of place in the broadcast booth? His voice annoys me, he's screwed up several times and when he reads stats, it sounds like he reads stats whereas any other seasoned broadcaster makes it sound like he's pulling them off the top of his head.

Agreed. He is as annoying as the clap. NFL needs to replace him if they expect the NFL network to take off.

Why in the h-e-double hockey sticks would they put a news journalist in the broadcast booth? Would anyone think to put Harry Caray on the evening news?

On second thought, that would probably be a huge improvement!

I agree he is terrible. Collinsworth isn't bad but there could be an improvement there also. I think I heard the other day that GUmble hasn't done play-by-play in over 20 years or something like that.

I think they should get rid of them and hire Dennis Miller and Rush L.

 

 

 

 

Don't know about Dennis Miller and Rush... but there HAS to be better... there were so many mistakes... but the one I remember is they had just put up a stat on Willie Parker... 31 carries for x yards... then they hand the ball to him again... Bryant says "Willie Parker with his 31st carry of the night"...

 

Even if he would just PAY ATTENTION !!!

Yeah, add insult to injury. Being from Cleveland and watching the Browns' bumbling was bad enough, but then his commentary...I even asked someone, I thought his brother was the sports guy and he was the newsman.

I didn't know he was commentating now.

 

But I can't stand him on his HBO show, so it's not surprising that he sucks at live stuff too.

Agreed, they leave lot to be desired. I actually think the Monday night crew is even worse.

Monday night crew does suck. Tony Kornheiser is horrible. Why do the Monday night executives insist on putting someone up there to add a little "humor" Just let the play by play and color guy go and do their work. You can tell Thiesman and(cant think of the other guys name) can't stand Kornheiser.

Mike Tirico is better on golf. The best in the business is by far Aikman and Buck. These guys seem like they hang out together and really like each other. Theisman's the one who makes me laugh and he's supposed to be the pro. Kornheiser's just sad.

I don't mind Tirico as much as the other two. Kornheiser admited all the time on PTI that he knows nothing about football (and it shows), and Theisman has to remind everyone each play that he was a former NFL QB... "When I was player those were the hardest reads...I was a Quarterback, I can tell you what it feels to get hit like that". I like alot of the guys that do college games better, as they just do their job without the ego and B.S. getting in the way.

Theisman is a bit arrogant. Whenever Reggie White died, there was the controversy over whether it was right for the Packers organization to fly the American flag at half staff. Theisman went on a tear during the Dan Patrick show about how it wasn't a big deal and people were getting their panties in a twist. When DP read him the regulations about the flag flying at half staff, he quited down a bit but insisted it wasn't a big deal. He's a jerk.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
