The NFL reportedly nixed the idea of having Mike Tirico calls NBC's Thursday
Night games in favor of Al Michaels.
NFL最近否決了NBC提出讓新加盟主播Mike Tirico播報下半季「週四美足之夜」(TNF)
的提議，仍然偏好本身就是週日夜間球賽(SNF)的老將Al Michaels
Tirico has been the play-by-play voice of Monday Night Football for several
years before moving to NBC.
在今年跳槽NBC之前，Tirico已經有多年的周一夜球賽(MNF)播報經驗
“They (Michaels and Collinsworth) are (NBC’s) number one team. So are (CBS’
Jim) Nantz and (Phil) Simms. We like the idea of having the same booth
announcers from Sunday night and Sunday afternoon to carry over to Thursday,”
Brian McCarthy, the NFL’s VP/Communications, said. “We’re hoping for that
same magic ‘Sunday Night Football’ has with Al and Cris to carry over to
Thursday night.”
NFL官方代表指出︰「Michaels與Cris Collinsworth是NBC的第一號播報團隊，就跟CBS
的Jim Nantz與Phil Simms一樣。我們喜歡讓周日的主播繼續負責週四晚上的球賽，並
且希望Al與Cris為SNF帶來的魔力，繼續帶到周四夜。」
NBC didn't want to double the workload of Al Michaels, who continues to
broadcast their Sunday schedule.
然而，NBC並不想要增加Al Michaels的工作量
