Al Michaels is my favorite broadcaster. I like all the big guns honestly. Joe Buck, Jim Nantz are both great. Steve Levy… not so much. But Al is truly my favorite. The thought of your team getting an ‘Al and Cris’ game is you know it’s a big deal. Packers will be playing three games on Sunday Night Football, and Michaels has not called one of them for Green Bay. This bums me out. Mike Tirico aka Italian Mike is a fine substitute but Al is the man. I just want to know why he ‘hates’ Green Bay and the Packers.

Legendary broadcaster Al Michaels will take another “bye” on December 27th.

In all honesty, he doesn’t hate our team. Packers’ primetime games have fallen on bad times in the calendar. The first game fell on the weekend of Yom Kippur. The second game fell over Thanksgiving weekend plus Al and Cris planned to do Steelers-Ravens. The last game will be right after Christmas. Not to mention, Al is an old dude, and going up to Green Bay in December is hard on him. I don’t blame him one bit. Tirico is a good substitute and does a good job.

If you’re into superstitions, Green Bay is 2-0 in Tirico games.
