1. Amazon was determined to put together an A-list booth for Thursday Night Football and it appears it has succeeded.
The New York Post’s Andrew Marchand reports that Amazon is ready to lock up Al Michaels for three years at $10 million per year to call all 16 of their games beginning this season.
Michaels will work with ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreti, who is adding the NFL to his college football duties.
While most sports fans (and many people) can’t get over the astronomical salaries for NFL broadcasters, I say good for Michaels.
