I just want to reiterate this as the world appears to rag on Al Michaels...

I'm hearing stories of everyone ragging on Al Michaels for his call of last night's game-winning field goal in Jacksonville.

I would agree that, on normal balance, it DOES actually sound at least borderline unprofessional.

That, however, said:  Does anyone else get the impression that not even HE can put up with the blatant scripting and the like of the NFL?

Because that was SO BLATANT -- and it's the second time this year the NFL has pulled off that 4-touchdown comeback...

Al Michaels couldn't put up with the bullshit anymore.  Now, the question comes as to how much cache he has.
