Broadcasting legend Al Michaels has finished up his first season calling NFL "Thursday Night Football" games for Amazon, and the overall result was a mixed bag.
Michaels was his usual self, which is to say good. Color commentator Kirk Herbstreit was solid for a broadcaster with a background located almost entirely in the realm of college football. The production values were immense outside of some sound engineering hiccups, which is no surprise given the amount Amazon has invested.
But, unfortunately, the whole crew still had to cover "Thursday Night Football," the primetime slate infamous for often delivering duds between underprepared and/or fatigued teams.
