Bryant Gumbel has told the NFL Network he won't return for another season as play-by-play man in the booth during games.
Gumbel has called games for two seasons and was
panned by critics from the start. NFL Network did not indicate if Gumbel's broadcast partner,
Cris Collinsworth, would return.
"We've agreed that we'd all be better served going in different directions," Gumbel said. "There are a lot of talented people at NFL Network. I thank them, I wish them well, and I have no doubt that they will be very successful going forward."
