‘Cursed’ Al Michaels Is Calling Awful Jaguars-Chargers Game And Fans Had Jokes

Al Michaels is officially cursed.

Earlier this year, Michaels joked that he would be forced to retire due to all of the awful Thursday Night games.

“If we don’t have a better game than we had last Thursday then I may retire. I’ve done pretty close to 800 NFL games, and with all due respect, guys are trying I understand, and we all know that, but that was grim.

During an interview with The Athletic’s Richard Deitsch last week, Michaels admitted that the games he was calling this season on Amazon were not the best.

“A lot of people said, ‘Al’s bored, Al’s pissed off that he’s doing this.’ Not the case,”“Monday nights, Sunday night, I did things like this. Maybe not to that degree, but I try to echo the feelings of what the fan feels because I’m a fan.”

“From the Amazon people, nothing but support,” said Michaels. “I think they understood what this was. We’re making the most of it. I mean, you just can’t oversell something. Do you want me to sell you a 20-year-old Mazda? That’s what you’re asking me to do. I can’t sell you a used car. … I’ve kind of gone down that road a little bit in games that have been bad in the past. But this game was horrifically bad. What were you supposed to do at that point? And away I went.”

On Saturday night, Michaels returned to NBC to call the Chargers-Jaguars playoff game.

Unfortunately, Michaels was forced to call another blowout when the Chargers went up 27-0 in the first half.
