He hasn't given a crap in awhile, who could blame him?

And it shows.

But he's definitely someone you want for the playoffs because when he's up for it, he's better than the rest.

Reddit and the NFL hate Al. Al’s one of the only honest PBP guys in the game. The quality of the NFL has been shite this year and he’s been open about it and hasn’t fake hyped the garbage play we’re seeing

He's still better than Tirico when properly motivated.
what does this mean? I haven't watched a game with Michaels this year, but why wouldn't he always be motivated to do his job well?

He's old, man.

He's been a bit "who gives a frick" this year at times.

Still love him

Even if he’s past his prime, Michaels is still way better than Tirico and way better than 75 percent of the NFL play-by-play announcers out there.

Michaels in WGAF mode is still better than 98% of people out there.

But it has been pretty noticeable this year just how little he cares

That’s bc he keeps getting handed shite tier games. Go figure he’s upset and not hyping up low quality games

Good - old, boring, doesn't seem like he enjoys it anymore. Replace him with Chris Fowler on Amazon.

Just a FYI that Al's relatively recent biography is a fantastic read or listen. He's got some incredible stories.

They’ll replace him with a former player with no broadcasting experience, but because they played the game that automatically makes them good public speakers. Add in the trend that every second of airtime must be filled with nonsense talking points means I usually have mute on.


Michaels was a play by play guy.
