NEW YORK _ Al Michaels long has made sly gambling references during NFL games he announces. But now that sports betting is becoming legal in more states by the year, might NBC become more open in discussing such matters?
Michaels said that in the short run, he expects "Sunday Night Football" will approach the subject much as it has in the past but that in the long run the evolution of attitudes on sports gambling will be "fascinating."
"I've had a lot of fun through the years coming in through the back door and sliding in in unexpected ways," he said on a conference call Tuesday promoting NBC's coverage.
