NFL free agency isn’t just for players, you know.
Legendary play-by-play man Al Michaels, the longtime voice of NBC’s Sunday Night Football, is moving to Amazon Prime for the streaming service’s exclusive Thursday Night Football rights effective this season. Mike Tirico will be his successor and work with Cris Collinsworth, whereas Michaels’ broadcast partner on Amazon will be ESPN college football lead analyst Kirk Herbstreit.
“Over the last 36 seasons, I’ve been at the mic describing some of the most magical moments and games in NFL history and am looking forward to many more,” said Michaels in a press release.
