Al Michaels Hates the Cowboys?

[The Emperor]

I hear this a lot, but I've rarely seen any proof to corroborate this claim. Does anyone have any? I'm not asking for video evidence; anecdotes will do.

I cant think of any. I know Woodson does, Yesterday I heard him say the Eagirls will win because of Dallas' secondary "they havent been showing up" he says. In what paralell universe is this turkey watching games?

Considering he has said time and time gain he considers "Dallas Cowboys QB" to be the number position in all of the NFL (along with Celtics C, Yankees CF, and Canadians G) I highly doubt he "hates" Dallas...

I heard that too. Woodson is an ultra hater.

I think the only people that make claims like that have the thinnest of thin skin.

I saw that also and wondered what the hell he had been smoking or drinking. He sure hadn't been paying attention to the games!

I have never heard anybody say that nor have I heard anything during a game broadcast by Al lend credence to that.

He always is complimentary to Jerry even in the worst of times and this past Sunday he referred to Romo, after speaking to him Saturday Night about his Christmas and other things as "just one of the very good guys in the game, he's just a good guy."

Yeah, I know. I've heard nothing but praise from Al Michaels. That's why I started this thread.

And don't even get me started on Rod Woodson. We know he's bitter about Super Bowl XXX. We know that.

I think Joe Buck is a Cowboys hater, truthfully. He does seem to delight in our misfortune and is quick to point them out.

Here's how much Al hates Dallas:

If anyone has a buddy proclaiming that crap, tell him to get real.

I don't think Al Michaels hates the Cowboys. I think he and John had a blast doing some of our games. I do think he is a 49ers fan. But I don't have any issue with that.

The 49ers have been so irrelevant this past decade that there's no way we could know for sure. The last time Al Michaels called one of their games was in 2003 when they played the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday Night Football.

Al Michaels has been the consummate professional in calling games for all the years I've been watching. I couldn't even tell if he favors any team.

Among all the voices that have been through, he, Madden and Summerall have been the absolute best.

How long have you been fighting yours?

 

[adamknite]

I've always liked Al Michaels, he's never seemed to favor any team to me.... unlike the likes of Thiesman where there seemed to be an obvious bias.

I'm not going into sports broadcasting at all, but I do admire Al Michaels delivery and cadence. I really enjoyed watching the NBA on ABC when he was there in 2004 and 2005.

Old school professionals like the three I mentioned are a rarity now, with each having something different to like about them. Two are retired and we have one left...

Riiiight.

Al Michaels = Cowboy hater is imaginary.

Many are real, but acknowledging that is inconsistent with bbgun's long-standing policy of debasing his favorite team and confusing that with intellectual honesty.
