Al Michaels pulled out of doing the Sunday Night Football game because of COVID-19 protocols. Its just a COVID thing as far as I see online.

The Bills night game next Saturday is a CBS game I believe. CBS doesn't do night games, NBC has done Sunday night football all year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tirico subbed for him. I heard on WGR that week leading up to the game that Michaels has said he would never set foot in town again. What’s that all about? Is there anything to it? Wait...they don’t have it in other cities? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad Things Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I don't get the Al Michaels hate. The man is a legend. What has he done to piss so many of you off? 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judman Posted January 11, 2021 Author Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) As OP, I just thought it was a strange thing that Michaels would swear off a town like that. I was just wondering if anyone else heard that too. Personally, I don’t care who calls the game. They all kinda have the same shtick. I’m used to them all, I guess. I spent a lot of time in ‘Cuse growing up. Tirico got his start there on channel 5 coming out of college. He was like weekend guy before he left for ESPN.

Al Michaels is like a band that becomes “legendary”, but really only has one great album.

Well if the comment of "he will never step foot in this town again" is true I would ask what has the city of Buffalo, or is fans, done to piss off?

QB Bills Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 36 minutes ago, judman said: Al Michaels didn’t come to town to cover the SNF Pitt/Buf game earlier this year because of the Covid. Tirico subbed for him. I heard on WGR that week leading up to the game that Michaels has said he would never set foot in town again. What’s that all about? Is there anything to it? That's nonsense. He had a few scheduled weeks off this year that were predetermined. From his interview with Schopp last year he wanted to come to Buffalo to call a game, whatever that's worth. If you heard it on wgr, it might have just been a knucklehead caller. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see with my eyes whats happening, so I dont need some highly paid person to tell me what I am seeing. a good one can without a doubt give more insight as they get inside scoops from teams.

It definitely wasn’t a caller, But I believe it was Howard and Jeremy talking about it. They didn’t seem to know what it was about either. They were kinda joking about it. But it sounded to me like there was some sort of lore, legend, or tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, where is this CBS stuff even coming from? My mistake, misheard Nantz on earlier game. Fwiw Michaels already stated a little but earlier in the broadcast that Bills / Ravens is “ their game” next week so it I’ll be him and Collinsworth .
