If this is the end for Al Michaels...

[chuckythegoat2]

time to think about where he ranks in the pantheon of American sports broadcasters.

I always liked his intro to the 1980 Olympic hockey game between USA and USSR:

"People do not know the difference between a Blue Line and a clothesline."

"An event that needs no buildup, no superfluous adjectives."

"Manifestly, it is a hockey game. The United States and the Soviet Union on a sheet of ice in Lake Placid, New York."

...Not many could do it that well.

"Do you believe in Miracles" - One of the best lines in sports.

I could watch that game 100X. It gives me goose bumps every time.
Yep, I said it. That s#it gets me a little emotional.

Did you watch the game live, Tank?

I think that answer is NO. I say that because it was on tape-delay.

On Sunday morning, there was a buzz. Word of the US win was getting out. Big surprise.
