Locomark Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) It’s seems like another rumored conspiracy theory. Is Al’s uncle also some Taco Bell owner who hides a kidnapping ring under the drive through? “I heard it from a person who heard it from a caller on GR” Edited January 11, 2021 by Locomark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strive_for_five_guy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Given that Michaels is already in Pittsburgh plus he would miss out on NBC’s primetime game of the divisional round, no way he isn’t calling the game. Allen v Jackson will have huge ratings. What reasonable excuse would he have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 During the post game show, Michaels said that "We" have an exciting game next week. Sounds like he will be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there was anything to that, no. He and Collinsworth will be doing our game Saturday night.

FTLBillsfan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 It will probably be the standard Sunday Night Football crew Tirico doing the pre game and halftime shows, but most likely from Buffalo instead of the studio and Michaels doing the play by play with Collingsworth. If it turns out to be Tirico doing the play by play I am fine with that. I have been a fan of his play calling since he started calling Syracuse University games on the radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I believe that he indicated that he and Chris C would be doing the game against the Ravens. P.S. Prior to the Pittsburgh game, I had heard the bit about him supposedly saying he would not go to Buffalo again, but I have never seen a link to an actual quote (I do not have time to go through this thread to see whether anyone has posted one). It sounds like this just may have been a rumor. P.P.S. If he does the Bills-Ravens game, does that mean we can believe in miracles again . . . .

Yes I know and I even have a patent for the technology to do it. Problem is that I have to use the internet feed that is a good 30-90 seconds behind. When I use my Sirius OTA home radio dock i was usually just 5 seconds behind with the audio. However during playoffs the local OTA is ahead of audio by 5 seconds or more but the Sat Station is 3 seconds behind the audio and cant pause that audio. Anyways I was doing that last game but finally was getting to nervous and a buddy I was texting with said announcers not bad. However I know I can not listen to CC for a second.

They are coming. I'm greatly looking forward to Al, not so much Cris. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
