Tales from the Vault: Al Michaels (2007)

Host Andrea Kremer takes us back to 2007 when NFL Films Steve Sabol interviewed Broadcast legend Al Michaels. Steve starts by asking Al about his start in broadcasting and the advice he was given by those around him. Al talks about the art of doing play by play and emulating the voices that he grew up with while looking to avoid tired cliches. In the booth, Al explains what he wants from an analyst and the ability to explain everything you're seeing in a way that the audience can understand. Steve recalls some of the biggest moments of Al's football career such his Super Bowl call of Scott Norwood's 'wide right' FG. Al also walks us through joining Monday Night Football and even being 'traded' from ABC to NBC.The Tales from the Vault podcast is part of the NFL Podcast Network.
