One of the NFL’s broadcasting stalwarts will reportedly be absent when the pro football playoffs get underway on Jan. 13.
NBC has removed Al Michaels from postseason coverage "in (a) move he wasn't expecting," according to a Tuesday morning report from Andrew Marchand of The New York Post.
Michaels, 79, calls Thursday Night Football weekly on Amazon Prime with former Ohio State quarterback and commentator Kirk Herbstreit and has done so since 2022. Last season, Michaels contributed play-by-play to the Jaguars’ 31-30 wild-card win over the Chargers for NBC in an emeritus role.
