Al Michaels out of the playoff broadcast schedule (1 Viewer)

First time watching a Thursday night game, Al is definitely not on his A game. Making a bunch of small verbal mistakes. It is like when Madden and Summerall were at their end, they are too old for calling games, but I am going to miss hearing Al’s voice.

Yep. It’s hard to watch. He used to be so sharp, even just a couple seasons ago.

I think he got beat down by the dregs of the games they keep rolling out on Thursday night. They just have very little excitement and are usually poorly played so it is tough for anyone to be on their A-game........let alone a guy that is up in years. I don't mind the errors but you can tell he just doesn't give a darn due to the terrible games he is saddled with.

My thing is I never understood why he would want to go to a streaming service to announce on Thursday nights with a college commentator.

Goodby Al.
Nice run but it's time to play golf full time.

Honestly, I don't really care a ton about commentators making mistakes, I personally feel that I know more than the commentators do, or at least more than they are allowed to say so as not to ostracize a casual fan.

So for me, its more about personality than content. In that regard, Michaels, Collinsworth, Romo, the Mannings, those are my favorites to listen to.

Same. I know he was polarizing, but I loved Dan Dierdorf because of the color he brought to each broadcast. I like listening to people with opinions.

I miss a lot of the old timers honestly.
