Agreed. He has never really been that great and now somehow he is even worse than he was when I was young. Like it really feels like he's be phoning it in and not even trying.
Real talk, Al Michaels and Cris Collinsworth were terrible in the Super Bowl 56

He's not good.
And he's got this attitude and tone in his voice like he's just a bitter old fukk. That's not even mentioning his habit of inserting his politics into broadcasts. And colleagues over the years have accused him of being an a$$hole, which he is.
He's never inspired or expressed real excitement or joy in calling a game. He just fukking sucks.
NBC should force his ass into retirement and toss the bag at Tony Romo once his CBS deal ends. At least he's enthusiastic about the game.
If it's not Kevin Harlan, Gus Johnson or Jim Nantz alongside Tony Romo... they can keep it.
Your biggest game deserves your best teams... commentators included. I want commentary that gives a damn.

Then Collinsworth had the audacity to claim the Rams last drive was the greatest super bowl drive ever 
Not only was that cap but he sounded half sleep during the supoosely greatest drive ever

His schtick is just raising his voice when someone scores...that's it. "It's fournetttttttttteeeeeeeee he takes it into the endzone!" It's like this incredulous sound in his voice that comes out during big plays. He's awful man, I'm sorry. I like Joe buck more than I like AL michaels. To me AL is just as bad as Brent musberger.
I like Romo, Gus Johnson, the guy that does college football with Gary Danielson now (can't believe I don't remember his name), Greg Gumble, Dan Deerdorf when he announced, Phil Simms, etc. Not a huge Tirrico fan either but he's better than Michaels.
That's just part of NBC's stuffiness when it comes to sports nowadays.
The whole "Football Night in America" presentation, the overly-regal music, set-up screams stuffy/elitist. They don't want things like the crowd too loud bc it seems unprofessional to them

They’re running out of options honestly. The old guard is definitely gone and it’s looking like they’re going to rely on former athletes to do these jobs to bring in viewers. You’re just going to have to accept it because the Super Bowl jumps networks every year.

That patented "ohhhhhhhh i don't know jim"
I used to like Romo when he first started he was refreshing but now he's just annoying

Honestly I was very weirded out by the NFL award ceremony. Was that on NBC or ABC? That shyt looked surreal to me...like it wasn't real at all and everything looked manufactured. It felt like a scene in a Sci fi movie where it's the future and everything is overly commercialized and sanitized for the masses. God that shyt looked weird to me, especially when rodgers was up there.

Almost dapped op, then he had to mention that terrible Romo 
What politics has he mentioned? All I noticed was the gambling
Al Michaels is an asshole
I don't know if anyone else saw this, but on tonight's Sunday Night Football telecast between the Bears and the Packers, Michaels came out and opened the broadcast by saying "I don't know if ...

Wait that was supposed to be negative? It was kind of funny actually.
