Did anybody else here play Hardball on PC with Al Michaels? That was so much fun, but his commentary was very limited.

This article contains just one cited source, which itself, amiannoying.com, is questionable.

The NPOV of the Monday Night Football section is also questioned with the comment about Dennis Miller's stint on MNF being "a bust." Couldn't there be verified public opinions to support this statement? Author782 03:23, 10 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps we should not include their names unless there is a notability reason. As private people, perhaps this should not be prominently displayed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.30.122.246 (talk • contribs) 14:31, 21 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

After Al was cut for the 2024 playoffs, doesn’t it mean he doesn’t work for NBC anymore? That’s his last NBC job 2601:644:9200:CBB0:857D:EF66:1505:CF6C (talk) 05:21, 8 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
