Al Michaels a No-Go for MNF Next Season

Published on February 08, 2006
When Monday Night Football airs on ESPN next fall, Al Michaels won't be in attendance in the broadcasting booth, Broadcasting & Cable reports. Instead, Tony Kornheiser, Mike Tirico, and Joe Theismann will announce the game. Al Michaels had initially been announced as part of the team, but according to John Skipper, ESPN executive vp, Michaels had said that he was not comfortable with the direction of the show, so ESPN "made the decision to move on."
