Al Michaels’ Broadcasting Career Has Been a Historic One
When it comes to iconic moments in sports, it wasn’t just football that Michaels was there for.
The announcer has narrated some of the most significant sporting events in history, such as the “Miracle on Ice,” in which an underdog team of college ice hockey players from the United States defeated the Soviet Union at the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York.
Throughout his career, Michaels was the voice of many MLB World Series games, as well as Super Bowls and countless Sunday night and Monday Night Football games over the years.

Michaels was also on the call for the “Butt Fumble” that happened when the Jets were hosting the New England Patriots on Thanksgiving in 2012. Jets QB Mark Sanchez missed the handoff and then tried to scramble for yards but fumbled when he ran right into his teammate Brandon Moore’s backside.
