Do you believe in Miracles? YES Of course, I'd rather hear another announcer say yes on air: Marv Albert, the greatest announcer of all time. Al Michaels would be great.

In fact, he deserves a raise from ESPN for pain and suffering. Poor Mike Patrick’s career will always be tainted b/c he had to work with Theismann and Maguire.

Why not shoot for Costas? He used to do football for NBC in the late 80s/early 90s and does a very good job (for what it's worth) during the Olympics. He's always insightful and will not dumb down to the casual fan. It's 2008, can we have intelligent play by play men for NFL broadcasts? Costas-Collingsworth would be tremendous. BTW, I LOVE Pat Summerall, but was he really a candidate? Remember, he very ill for a long time. I'm sure why the production value. Don't they use NFL Films? Can we confirm with the great Steve Sabol on this?

Man Gumbel was BAD!!! To tell you the truth, I felt bad for the guy, yes he was that bad.

The production values and graphics for the games produced by the NFLN looked like just a step above those you'd find for a highschool game you'd find on public access television.

If you are interested, season 2 episode 42 over at the CBS website. You can watch it in all his glory. Walken is in that episode too. I like watching the old show where the now famous were once not so famous. Perhaps the strangest one I have seen is Jack Nicholson on the Andy Griffith Show. As for Michaels going to NFLN? IMO, he is a bit overexposed. He does a great job, but I would rather see new people brought in. I just saw Al Michael’s the other day in the Hawaii Five-0 rerun that he was in.
