He traveled in a special, custom bus/motorhome, everywhere. Wouldn’t fly.

I heard that as he was traveling from city to city during the season, the bus would very frequently stop at Ponderosa steakhouses, where he would enjoy chatting with any fans who happened to be there.

One of a kind, who helped project the NFL into the television stratosphere. Al Michaels is also very good at his job, although with a different style, and the two of them together were terrific.

If he didn’t like flying, how did he get to away games while coaching?
