Did you hear? The game's in Massachusetts, right? John Madden said that the Colts fumble at the goal line, after the Pats threw an interception, was a "flip-flop." Michaels replied, "We're in the right state for that."

[Mr. Mojo]

Heard it, loved it.

[Gunder]

No way! Love it.

Wait until Peter Jennings finds out. Al Michaels is toast.

[flashbunny]

Apparently he's somewhat friendly with rush, and he and Dennis miller gushed over how great a writer peggy noonan is one night on the air.

[CSM43]

Damn, you just beat me to it. Aw, who cares, it was awesome!

[hawkaw]

Heard it too ... great game BTW

[LincolnLover]

Yup, you beat me to it!

LOL!

I was just watching the end of the New England-Indianapolis game, right after Edgerrin James had fumbled away Indy's chance to win.

Anyways, John Madden was going on about something or other and he ended a sentence by saying "...a flip-flop."

Al Michaels, obviously debating whether or not he should say what he was thinking on air, waited a beat then said, "Well, we're sure in the right (correct) state for THAT!" or something similar.

Go Al! Seriously, he's the best play by play guy in the biz.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

Michaels has slammed Clinton in the past worse than any comedian...basically compared people with no integrity to Clinton. Al is untouchable.

first of all Michaels is a doofus who can't remain unbias
if his job depended on it.
He's been "fawning" over the pats all night long..if the pats do something right it was a great move...if the colts do something right..they were lucky.

and I'm not a fan of either team, just a football fan
don't believe me? watch each monday night, you'll be able to pick out what team he likes after the first two minutes of the game

[loveitor..]

so what..politically he is on our side

[dead]

Peter, by the way, just for the record, this is Al Michaels. That was a totally farsical call.

Lest anybody think that that was somebody who was truly across the street that was not.

[eternity]

I should sent this to AL. http://kerrywaffles.net/kerrygan.html

[bigfootbob]

Al does it again! I howled!!!

[Thane_Banquo]

I couldn't believe he said it, but he did. Ouch! It was great to hear.

[Republican Wildcat]

He also called Katherine Harris a heroine on the air, if I'm recalling correctly.

[lyingisbetter]

You beat me to it!
It's official, Al Michaels declares Kerry from Mass. is the flip flop man!!!!
Will he be fired???

[somemoreequalthanothers]

That was great. Have to be low key about it, though, the lefties will be dumping all over him if they find out.

[fuzzy122]

Is Al Michaels retiring?

[FesterUSMC]

Today is Monday?
