Twitter has had fun worrying about Al doing several bad football games in a row. Last week he noted that the Colts/Broncos games was like the 7th worst Regional Sunday game, and this week he continued to bitch and moan over how bad the Bears/Commanders game was.
But, of course Michaels knew the TNF games would be bad, they almost always are the worst matchup of the week. I was surprised when it was announced at the end of last season that he took the Amazon gig, thinking he would just retire (he does seem to have lost a step to me) or maybe take an emeritus role on NBC’s SNF game. Maybe he needs the money (some rumors he gambles and plays the stock market), but it seems unlikely to me he is that hard up. So why complain so much when he is only getting what he signed up for? It makes me suspect Amazon wants him to in order to try to pressure the NFL to give them better games next year. In other Al Michaels message delivery system news, he also opined this week that Dan Snyder should sell the Commanders. Which, of course he should, and this was clear long before the nasty speculations about him reported recently. But unless Al is in pure “Old Man out of Fucks To Give” mode, this reeks of Roger and Jerry and other NFL big wigs sending a very visible, virtual horse head message to Snyder. https://www.si.com/extra-mustard/2022/10/14/al-michaels-commanders-bears-tweets -- Sent from Gmail Mobile -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TVorNotTV" group.
