could secure his legacy as one of the all-time great broadcasters, NBC announcer Al Michaels confirmed Sunday that he was confident he would completely nail the call if a football player died on the field. “I’ve been doing this for 40 years;

this was pretty much guaranteed to happen. I know I would mention how these teams are no longer opponentsbrothers, and I would also have to slip in that these brave players know the risk when they put on the uniform, yetand it’s why I am where I am today.” Michaels added that he even has a specific withering condemnation ready for any cheering fans just in case the game was being played in Philadelphia.
