Al Michaels removed from NFL playoff coverage

[Still Benefited]

I’d rather hear Larry David call the game than some snooty X’s & O’s guy trying to prove how much more he knows about the game than everybody else

Gilbert Arenas was saying the NBA has the same problem. A bunch of old guys who dont relate to the youth, trying to get the youth to watch them announce games. Theres a reason most people watch the games while posting on twitter. You get much more entertainment value,and small tidbits of knowledge. And no disrespect to old people,but these old guys following that same old uptight announcer blueprint gotta go. On the flipside I better not see Pat Macafee fratboy ass calling playoff games either. Give me a nice in between like Skip calling all the Cowboy games

Turn the game on and the sound down. And do yourself a favor & stay off Twitter

For NBC - Tirico is calling one, Noah Eagle (Ian Eagle’s son) is calling one and I’m going to guess Jac Collinsworth might call the third playoff game…maybe that Peacock-exclusive one

I still like Al
guess im in the minority

And guys like Romo and Aikman getting 20 mil per year?

You could pay the people on these debate shows and random podcasters,who are fans of each of the 32 teams 2 million to call all of the games of their respective teams. Im sure they might feel ripped off. But are they turning down 100K per game to announce for 3 hours a week on principle?

Twitter is toxic but comedy

Tirico and Collinsworth are calling two games that weekend (Peacock - guessing Saturday Night and the usual SNF on NBC)

He fell off a long time ago. No emotion or enjoyment in him these days trying to call games. On Thursday Night Football he talks like its a drag and a huge burden to be there. Kinda crazy considering he's one of the goats in the business

 

[Captain Crunch]

he's to old its time even amazon gets rid of him.

When you're that old you can do like the lee corso a few minutes here and there and a couple laughs.

Even Corso looking bad out there
The fact that Vin Scully was 80+ and still elite was a marvel.

 

[nairdas]

He definitely fukked up somewhere

 

[Lord Beasley]

this nicca been miss calling plays, wrong names and shyt, slow. It's time man

 

[Piff Perkins]

Honestly I'm not seeing an argument for him being worsen than most of the guys on TV right now. Romo is atrocious on CBS, to the point you can tell Jim Nantz is getting agitated. Chris Collinsworth is bad on NBC and doesn't do anything but dikk ride his select group of favorite players (Mahomes, Josh Allen, any white receiver in the league, etc). You can tell Michaels wasn't interested in the wack games Amazon had this year but the playoffs are a different matter. There's more interest and he's usually good. Outside of that Jags/Chargers game last year lol.

Al Michaels must have inappropriately fukked somebody 40yrs ago.
NBC is just trying to get ahead of this now

Oh my bad…I was dumb thinking it was 3 NBC playoff games in one round.
