Al Michaels is done- NBC removes him from the playoffs

NBC is reportedly parting ways with legendary broadcaster Al Michaels ahead of the NFL playoffs.
The 79-year-old was unaware that his role was in jeopardy last month, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post reported Tuesday.
Michaels reportedly said he believed that he was still going to call a postseason contest on NBC, but did not know who else would be working.
“It’s in my deal,” he said when Marchand mentioned NBC’s uncertainty in November. “Where are you hearing that from? That’s part of my deal. Are you hearing something that I’m not hearing?”
His absence from the playoffs will mark the end of a storied run, as no one has called more Super Bowls on television than he has. Michaels and Pat Summerall are tied with 11 assignments to the NFL’s biggest game.

At least he gets to nap through three more Amazon games.

That's a shame. I like Al.

I think a lot of people will be napping through this Thursday's game. O'Connell vs Stick

Terrible news imo he's still a top 4 nfl pbp man when he's engaged (which he would be for playoffs).

Bad form by NBC. Mistreating a legend.

This appears to be a lame move on NBC's part. If it was part of his deal, why not let him do it?
It'd be one wild card game, not the Super Bowl or anything. Doing this a month before the playoffs is weird timing, too.

Yesterday someone here said Fox needs to hire Al Michaels. People still think he's 60 for some reason.
Posted on 12/12/23 at 1:40 pm to TigerintheNO
He's still better than Tirico when properly motivated.
Posted on 12/12/23 at 1:42 pm to TigerintheNO
I would like him to do one more so that I at least know this is the last time I’ll be hearing Al call a playoff game. He’s the best to ever do it and the fans deserved to get a good send off.

Done with NBC
Not with Amazon or his career as thread title implies

Good, he’s been sleepwalking through his games.
Posted on 12/12/23 at 1:46 pm to TigerintheNO
Yeah, not many Legends left. Stay classy NBC.

Hang around on Thursday nights and call some of the worst games of the season every year or go ahead and retire.
Not much of a choice there.

Ahh great. They gonna roll out Collinsworth’s kids to do an NFL game? Nepotism at its finest.

If he was still able to call the biggest games I’m sure he would
