April 26, 201610 yr Wow. He's been an ESPN fixture for forever. I wonder why now. Doesn't NBC have the Olympics?
April 26, 201610 yr He is 49. Al Michaels is 71. Next in line to be their leading guy on Sunday Night Football? Two major golf events, British Open and Ryder Cup I think. Soccer, NHL, Olympics, Notre Dame and looking for more college football. Many options for him whether in studio or in the booth.
April 26, 201610 yr Author Mike and Cris should be great together! Tirico will do NBC Thursday games.
April 26, 201610 yr Tirico will do NBC Thursday games. I guess what I am saying is little by little and eventually full time Cris and Mike should be working together and as individuals they are two favorite NFL broadcasters. High Times for sure!!!
April 26, 201610 yr Have always liked him. Never makes himself bigger than the game, and certainly has never fallen into the catch-phrase-happy camp that others on the network feel they're obligated to join.
April 28, 201610 yr Author Sports media writer Richard Deitsch speculates that NBC will pay Tirico in the $5M to $7M range and have promised him Al Michael's spot when he leaves plus Olympic hosting duties.
April 29, 201610 yr Collinsworth will call Thursday games with Tirico and SNF with Michaels. Nice! Great teams.
May 1, 201610 yr Tirico, Nessler, I think I read Dilfer has been dumped, yet Chris Berman is still there.
May 1, 201610 yr Author Tirico' date=' Nessler, I think I read Dilfer has been dumped, yet Chris Berman is still there.[/quote'] Dilfer left over money.
May 1, 201610 yr Tirico, Nessler, I think I read Dilfer has been dumped, yet Chris Berman is still there. Berman's like Jim Nantz, Billy Packer and Tim McCarver before him. You can keep your mediocre-at-best career for as long as you like as long as you possess the right nudie pics of the right people. Does anything else about Berman's pulpit make sense?
