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


If you listened to him during the Cowboys-Seahawks game you could tell he was pissed at the state of affairs.

Should’ve let him finish it out. He’s still better than many of the vanilla play by play guys around

He's almost 80 and he's not doing baseball play-by-play. If you're doing baseball you can last until your 80s. Jack Buck stopped doing football and he continued in baseball. Brickhouse, Harwell, Carey, and so on could continue doing baseball, but the other sports are not so kind as we age.

Yesterday someone here said Fox needs to hire Al Michaels. People still think he's 60 for some 


He's in his mid 70s, but he's still the best big game voice of an NFL game there is.

Give all 3-4 yrs with Tom Brady at fox snd then let him retire on top, not while he's one step from slitting his wrists with Herbstreit every Thursday night

As I was saying about people not knowing his age.

He's not sounding engaged because the Thursday Night Experiment is not engaging, I don't care how many years the NFL tries to force it.

This is a mistake. He’s still got it. They’re fricking up.

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.



Al Michaels have always butt heads with NBC’s top executives since they moved him to Thur, he probably finally said something unforgivable.

One of the best to ever do it. His voice will be missed.

If it's in his contract, why not let him finish? He will be missed.

I’ll never understand TD’s constant need for bashing (most) play by play guys. It’s really strange

Joe Buck will be the GOAT by the time it’s all said and done IMO.

Id have Al Michaels as GOAT currently
