As the Orioles continue to face backlash for suspending announcer Kevin Brown, the legendary Al Michaels joined in the conversation with a strong statement for team brass in the wake of the controversial decision.
The Hall of Fame sports broadcaster and longtime NFL voice shared his thoughts on Brown’s suspension for his July 23 comments recapping the Rays’ past success over the Orioles during a Wednesday appearance on ESPN’s Outside the Lines.
Initially, Michaels admitted he first believed the story was “either a joke” or, if it were real, had “much more insidious” reasons behind the suspension. But, after realizing Brown’s factual remarks were the reason for the discipline, Michaels delivered a classic burn aimed at the team and Orioles owner John Angelos, who reportedly made the call.
