Did you see what NBC gave up to get Al Michaels?
More Olympics shots and the Ryder Cup.
NBC absolutely won that trade.

I think that played a part in Michaels wanting to jump ship.

Michaels on NFL broadcasts is the ONLY person who could make me mourn the loss of Howard Cossell.
Like an ingrown toenail making one forget all about their hemorrhoids

Disney seems to think so which just shows how screwed up that company is.
To: bikepacker67
The new MNF will be unwatchable, IMO.

I was just wondering...when was the last time Disney actually produced anything using their stable of animated characters? There's a whole generation of kids out there who have no idea who Mickey Mouse is, me thinks.

When I read that ABC traded Michaels to NBC for the Ryders Cup and Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, I had to check again to make sure this wasn't something from the Onion.

Mickey is more of a corporate symbol than a cartoon character these days.
To: bikepacker67
I guess ESPN radio will be broadcasting Monday night games. The alternative will be turn down the TV and listen to the radio.

The first article ESPN had on Michaels' move, which oddly enough isn't up anymore, mentioned something about Al not liking "the direction" ESPN wanted to go in. Sounds to me like that would be the Theesman direction.

I want to know who even brought that to the table?
To: mainepatsfan
Drat!
When I saw "Michaels Jumps", I was hoping it was from a tall building.
The guy is a football dunce, boring as 'heck' and his voice makes my skin crawl. In fact I'd wager HE'S the reason MNF's ratings went South. People got sick of hearing his idiotic ramblings.
"Hi! I'm Al Michaels And I'm A Dunce."
