It's absolutely shocking how bad he is, and that the NFL channel has kept him on, I just don't get it. I really like Collinsworth, he's got a big ball and chain on him right now being in the same room as Gumble.
I've also got concerns about journalistic integrity with broadcasters who check comes from the same source that is putting on the games, and paying the refs and so forth.

Yeah, he was the studio host.
And there were questions from the start about if the NFL Network were going o be a mouthpiece for the league or if they would run legitimate sports journalism. Last year they broke the story about Art Schell on the way out in Oakland during one of their game telecast, which wasn't something the NFL could have been too happy about (although if there was one team they might do that to, it would be Al Davis' team).
