I would argue, as a baseball fan, that "You're looking at one for the ages here!" and "I'll tell you what, we're having an earth--" are still SORELY missing from this compilation. Great video otherwise, though--ALWAYS loved hearing him announce games for my teams. :)
that kind of thing is honestly why Al Michaels is so good. You can tell that he's just watching the game and reacting like you are. You can feel his emotions build and progress throughout the play. It makes every play more exciting and engaging, especially plays like breakaway runs. On the play you mentioned Joe Buck would be like "Favre....pass is.........no signal yet......"
Something about his voice and the way he talks is just so enjoyable.. definitely my favorite play by play announcer and it’s amazing that he’s always in the booth with all the great games and moments.. also great cuz he’s probably the best guy for it
Contract ends in 2022 and he is 75 years old but yeah I hope the same I hope he didn't retire because his voice is better then a "pass is caught" references by Joe Buck's annoying ass voice I don't want to hear him when it comes with big games and the Super Bowl!
Al Michaels-- probably my favorite of all time NFL announcers. He is the last link to my association of NFL on TV when I started watching as a kid. All the other good ones that I remember in the late 70's have long since vanished: John Madden, Pat Summerall, Merlin Olson, Don Meredith, Howard Cosell, Frank Gifford, Keith Jackson; and more that I can't recall at this exact moment.
oh Yeah...Listening to Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson calling a San Diego Chargers game at 3pm in the early 80's...........That was the first taste of Air Coryell, Dan Fouts was throwing 300 yard games and we never seen that before.Loved it as a kid.
Al Michaels is a legend. Glad he got to call the first Superbowl championship for my Eagles last year. It was a dream come true to hear his voice last year after we won. And the Miracle on Ice call was legendary. And that rant prior to the 2nd half of the Saints/Cowboys game about the halftime festivities was also classic. But where was the Derek Fisher buzzer beater? That was a classic call too. His voice completely exploded when Fisher made that shot. Al is the best.
@@trevorcobelo8156 yeah it’s like 15 seconds of good calls other than that he is absolutely terrible. Al michaels, Gus Johnson, jack buck, John madden are legends and Tony romo is a great commentator.
I grew up in San Francisco and we often went to Giants games at Candlestick Park. Al called those games and we often saw him and his family at McDonald's before the game; he and I were in the food line often enough that we introduced ourselves (I was 10) and we said hello often. Truly nice guy; glad he's had an HoF career.
0:26 as a patriots fan the swing of emotions was fucking unreal during that play... i remember preparing myself to cry when wilson is about to throw that pass and then butler pick happenend..man..my heart was about to explode lol
There's something so relaxing about watching Sunday night football with Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. They have their criticisms and some of them are fair but I just find their calm with sudden changes in emotion so nice
I love the Antonio Freeman catch because of how Al almost sounds mad that it happened, it’s a catch that if it was in a movie, people would say “no that wouldn’t happen irl”
Al Michaels has been in my life since I was a kid, I'm 23 now, and I never get tired of hearing his commentary. Somehow, he just knows exactly how to make every game interesting. He is certainly the BEST!!!!
Al & Chris, best ever. Also, @ 5:37 Dan Connolly's kick return, I was at that game witnessing that play in person. Still 1 of the greatest live plays I've ever seen.
17th October 1989 Game 3 of the World Series..."Tell you what we're having an Earth....." then says when back on air "Well Folks that's the greatest opening in the history of Television"
Not gonna take Al for granted one more game. So great! Didn’t realize all the great moments he’s called even recently. If he’s calling the game, you’ve got a chance of a classic NFL moment. He helps make those moments even more special!
Childhood right here Sunday nights having school the next day but staying up late family drinking,cracking jokes ,eating chips and watching Sunday night football with al Micheal and chris collinworth commentating glad it’s still going
Have any of Al Michaels’ baseball calls? Did games for the Reds, the SF Giants, and ABC in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s. Also, don’t forget Derek Fisher’s .4 shot in the 2004 NBA Playoffs How about MNF during the Gifford era? Bo Jackson, Joe Montana, etc. Anyway, good list.
I get chills every time I hear the "Arizona has the lead!" call and I'm not even a Cardinals fan. Also, the Miracle on Ice is the greatest call in sports history and you can't change my mind on that
Al Michaels is clearly one of the all time great announcers in history. He’s had some of the greatest moments on his watch in sports history, and knows just what to say in a given moment.
Al Michaels was my favorite. It's too bad that they didn't mix some of his baseball calls. They did the Miracle on ice but what about Dave Henderson's home run. Al Michaels in his own words said that was the greatest sporting event he's ever been involved in.
“And I’ll tel you what were having an earth q-“ one of the most spine chilling calls I’ve heard in sports (World Series btw not football). And I wasn’t even alive for it
Michaels started out as a Cincinati Reds announcer. I so enjoyed hearing him and Joe Nuxhall tell stories during rain delays. Michaels called the last play of Roberto Clemente's life in the playoffs. Johnny Bench hit a home run to right to end the game, "Clemente to the wall....."
Missing Famous Calls from Al Michaels: 1. Team USA Hockey’s 1980 Olympic Gold Medal Win over Finland. 2. Dane Iorg’s Game Winning Hit In Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. 3. The Entire 9th Inning In Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. 4. Kent Hrbek’s Grand Slam In Game 6 of the 1987 World Series. 5. Ken Griffey’s Bases Loaded Single bringing home Davey Concepcion and Winning the 1976 National League Pennant for the Cincinnati Reds. 6. The Home Run by Ron Cey on the Final Game of the 1980 Season that won the game for the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Houston Astros that forced a One-Game Playoff between both the Dodgers and Astros the following day for the N.L. West Division. And My Favorite of them all(As a Cincinnati Reds Play-by-Play Man), The Wild Pitch by Pittsburgh Pirates Pitcher Bob Moose that brought in George Foster and won the Cincinnati Reds the 1972 Nation League Pennant. Those are the calls you also should have added with what you already have on video.
I am SO glad that I've never had to listen to a game on the radio with Al Michaels as the announcer. I love having him and Collinsworth in the booth when I'm watching on TV, but sometimes it seems like he takes _forever_ to get around to saying what actually happened.
I'm a Seahawks fan and whenever Al Michaels yells it gives me PTSD. Especially when the Bills got that pick six off of Lamar and he yelled "And it's...INTERCEPTED"
This list is great, but it is definitely incomplete. Michaels actually got his start in sports doing Cincinnati Reds baseball radio. In the bottom of the ninth in the 1972 NLCS against the Pirates, catcher Johnny Bench came to the plate and tied the game with a blast over the right field wall. The reds went on to clinch the WS birth a few batters later, on a wild pitch. “The windup, and the pitch to Bench. Change, hit in the air to deep right field. Back goes Clemente! At the fence! She’s gone!!" I was 13 years old. I was there. With pops listening to Michaels' call on his portable radio. STILL get goose bumps. Those were the baseball days!! :) :)
Al Michaels is the best. I love Sunday night football. Please DON'T retire! Not yet! I never get tired of listening to him.
True statement. Can never hear enough of Al Michaels. Could listen to him for days on end. Way better than announcers like Joe Buck.
So boring
I hate him because of if now he called SB 52 I wish would just retire I hate him more than I hate joe buck
@@ortega701 there was no emotion in the game😂
@@ZyanBeast new to football huh?
No compilation of Al Michaels' career would be complete without "Do You Believe in Miracles? YES!" and "He did WHAT?!?" included.
Compilation of his career would have to be narrated and called by Al himself!
Which one was yes I don’t know that one?
I would argue, as a baseball fan, that "You're looking at one for the ages here!" and "I'll tell you what, we're having an earth--" are still SORELY missing from this compilation. Great video otherwise, though--ALWAYS loved hearing him announce games for my teams. :)
I cant stand al michaels
I was at the Packer game Freeman made the circus catch!
Great call Al!!
When Al is amazed it is always hilarious to hear Cris Collinsworth laughing in the background, cracks me up every time😂
Al Michaels and collinsworth are by far the best announcer duo in the nfl right now
I know it makes me laugh too. Al's dry personality and voice makes it hilarious when someone makes a stupid mistake.
Can we please get Al and Chris back on Madden
Which madden may I ask?
michael richards I’m pretty sure it was Madden 11 they were on
@@joshshermeyer9012 okay thanks
they were on madden!?
@@joshshermeyer9012 no it was gus Johnson and Collinsworth
2:10 is honestly one of the best on-the-fly calls ever
Nuc
he did WHAT??!!

Still get chills when I hear him say "Arizona has the lead!" ten years later even though they lost.
I really dislike him
Travis Stoudt Why
@@espnluver7525 If you don't like him, then you're not a real football fan.
@@espnluver7525 bitch, fuck off.
Facts
Something about his voice and the way he talks is just so enjoyable.. definitely my favorite play by play announcer and it’s amazing that he’s always in the booth with all the great games and moments.. also great cuz he’s probably the best guy for it
You can hear that he’s genuinely into it and you can feel the emotion
He’s my favorite for sure
As good as he is and as much as I normally like his style, he was a bummer on the Jags game in the comeback win
5:42 Cris Collinsworth's "Oh, you gotta be kidding me" is just priceless.
Al michaels voice just reminds me of super bowl 49
Efrain Entrertainment And the pass is INTERCEPTED AT THE GOAL-LINE!
Real Ki-Adi-Mundi BY MALCOLM BUTLER!
@@Mario-fn1yo unreal
Best call by Al Michaels!!!
You missed, "That is one of the loudest manure chants I've ever heard."
I saw that game and I'm pretty sure Cris Collinsworth was the one who actually said that line
@@debjoy12 no it was Al Michaels
“Pass is INTERCEPTED AT THE GOAL LINE” goosebumps
1:52 is his greatest call
I would agree with that 100%.
steelers aren’t going back to the SB as long as Tomlin is still the coach I don’t like him
The greatest call ever
Oh yeah, the Miracle game
Walter White I probably seen the “do you believe in miracles” highlight around 50 times and I never knew it was him commentating 😂
His voice is great for football hope he never retires
Contract ends in 2022 and he is 75 years old but yeah I hope the same I hope he didn't retire because his voice is better then a "pass is caught" references by Joe Buck's annoying ass voice I don't want to hear him when it comes with big games and the Super Bowl!

He's the greatest of all time. Al Michaels is my favorite.
Why not add Dick Enberg to the list of great NFL announcers
oh Yeah...Listening to Dick Enberg and Merlin Olson calling a San Diego Chargers game at 3pm in the early 80's...........That was the first taste of Air Coryell, Dan Fouts was throwing 300 yard games and we never seen that before.Loved it as a kid.

Actually he called the 43 sb as well with Madden
Nevermind
“Brady gets hit and THE BALL IS OUT! PHILADELPHIA HAS IT”
DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES YESSSS
The right guard. THE RIGHT GUARD
i was today years old when i found out he called the miracle on ice game. wow. the more you know
Just found out now!
“DO YOU BELIEVE IN MIRACLES? YES!”
Thank you Al. One of the best and most iconic voices of all time in the sport.
He is one of my favorite broadcasters in the world, he is the voice of my childhood.
Best duo for announcing. I know Collinsworth gets some hate but I love him personally as an announcer and him and Michaels have such great chemistry
Yeah idk why ppl hate him?
Al Michaels is a excellent broadcaster. One of my personal favorites.
Best Joe Buck calls, it’ll be about 15 seconds
Dan Geiger lol
Nah watch the vid he has good calls
@@trevorcobelo8156 yeah it’s like 15 seconds of good calls other than that he is absolutely terrible. Al michaels, Gus Johnson, jack buck, John madden are legends and Tony romo is a great commentator.
It's actually 7 minutes at least. He has quite a few
@@AJ42K yeah I’m with you. Used to hate buck but I really appreciate him now. He’s no Michaels but he’s good shit. Exceptional baseball broadcaster
I grew up in San Francisco and we often went to Giants games at Candlestick Park.

Truly nice guy; glad he's had an HoF career.
“Do you believe in miracles?! YES!” sends a chill down my spine every time I hear it
He did What!??!
OOOH AND IT HITS THE UPRIGHT AGAIN!! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE!
As painful a moment as that was for me, a Bears fan... it was a pretty damn good call
0:26 as a patriots fan the swing of emotions was fucking unreal during that play... i remember preparing myself to cry when wilson is about to throw that pass and then butler pick happenend..man..my heart was about to explode lol
Pete was out coached. BB didn’t call a timeout. Pete was caught actually looking across the field, confused.
Al Micheals is a legend.
The cardinals vs packers game was the best one they did. They had so much fun
There's something so relaxing about watching Sunday night football with Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth. They have their criticisms and some of them are fair but I just find their calm with sudden changes in emotion so nice
Al Michaels has been behind some of sports’ biggest moments throughout his career. Unquestionably a legend in his own right!!!!
No question the best call is the USA vs Soviet union
2:07-2:24 to this day i still can't believe it
Chris Lancour you don’t look older than 13 bud
You should make a Part 2 with Packers vs Cardinals 2015 playoffs and the Earthquake baseball game
I’ll never get tired of that miracle on ice call
Al Michaels is so good on Sunday Night Football, I would watch it even if there were middle schoolers on the field
I love the Antonio Freeman catch because of how Al almost sounds mad that it happened, it’s a catch that if it was in a movie, people would say “no that wouldn’t happen irl”
If Al Michaels had John Madden's voice, he would be something like a young Robert Loggia.
Everyones always like "I still dont know why the Seahawks didnt run the ball"
And im over here like "How the F did we tie the cardinals at 6?"
LMAOOOOOOO
Al Michaels has been in my life since I was a kid, I'm 23 now, and I never get tired of hearing his commentary. Somehow, he just knows exactly how to make every game interesting. He is certainly the BEST!!!!
He did WHAT?
Al & Chris, best ever. Also, @ 5:37 Dan Connolly's kick return, I was at that game witnessing that play in person. Still 1 of the greatest live plays I've ever seen.
Kerk Cason , 5:49 #2 GB Packers kicker Mason Crosby was clearly blocked in the back by Patriots #34. Play should have been called back.
"Hey Dan! What's your career highlight?" Epic call!
17th October 1989 Game 3 of the World Series..."Tell you what we're having an Earth....." then says when back on air "Well Folks that's the greatest opening in the history of Television"
Second only to "Do you believe in miracles"
Not gonna take Al for granted one more game. So great! Didn’t realize all the great moments he’s called even recently. If he’s calling the game, you’ve got a chance of a classic NFL moment. He helps make those moments even more special!
6:33 this play has drew brees achieves milestone and win a game all in one play
I wish Al and John called Super Bowl 42
the absolute best was his disbelief over the botched seahawk cardinal kicks. I was laughing so hard.
5:34😂
Childhood right here Sunday nights having school the next day but staying up late family drinking,cracking jokes ,eating chips and watching Sunday night football with al Micheal and chris collinworth commentating glad it’s still going

How about MNF during the Gifford era? Bo Jackson, Joe Montana, etc.
Anyway, good list.
Super Bowl XXV as well!
There should be a place in NFL HOF for the great announcers and commentators. Al Michaels should be a top of the list.
The best in the business love al
Al Michaels will always be my favorite commentator. Second to none!
I get chills every time I hear the "Arizona has the lead!" call and I'm not even a Cardinals fan.
Also, the Miracle on Ice is the greatest call in sports history and you can't change my mind on that
Love al michaels
I never knew Al Michaels had the call for the miracle on ice. Amazing call
Truly a legend!! The miracle call always sends chills through my body
Just the goat. His joy is always evident. Except when we at home are all annoyed by something and he gets annoyed too and we love him even more.
I love Al Michaels!!! Whoa baby!!!!
"What are they gonna rule it, he caught it?!?!?"
Love it
I know basketball isn't what he's known for but his "Derek Fisher at the buzzer" call was pretty iconic!
Al been in the game for a long time. I love listening to him call games.
When he goes I must go
Al Michaels is clearly one of the all time great announcers in history. He’s had some of the greatest moments on his watch in sports history, and knows just what to say in a given moment.

Al is the GOAT .......... Bless you Sir
6:45 is what i came for, i miss odell wit the giants
Not only were these Al's best calls, but these were some pretty legendary moments in football
The way the crowd reacts after the Holmes catch always gets me goosebumps, some get excited but everyone goes nuts when the ref confirms it.
“And I’ll tel you what were having an earth q-“ one of the most spine chilling calls I’ve heard in sports (World Series btw not football). And I wasn’t even alive for it
I didn't see 1972 NL Playoffs Game 5 Bottom of the 9th. AL was Reds announcer that year and that CFB walk off win was spectacular.
ua-cam.com/video/sK2g_5epoAc/v-deo.html
Love this guy!!!!
By far the best to ever do it
If it weren’t for all the old madden games I played I wouldnt have known how much of a gem this man is on commentary
There’s something that just feels classy when you turn on Sunday Night Football and hear Al Michaels giving the introductions.
1:21 was a great call
I don't mean I like Philly
I'm a Vikings fan
He’s awesome
Titans fans will still be heart broken by that loss to the Rams in the Super Bowl.
*One. Yard. Short*
I have so much pain in watching that clip. I just wish there was a different play call that didnt force Dyson to break a tackle against a linebacker.
Favorite announcer of all time
I Missed Al Michaels To Call SNF on NBC. GOOD LUCK TO YOU'RE FUTURE CAREER.
Where is the Red Sox Angels 1986 home run? “Downing goes back, and it’s gone! You’re looking at one for the ages here!”

Al is a national treasure.
Best announcer ever.
Thats Impossible!
Great commentary from him
Al Michaels may be my 2nd all time commentator behind Pat Summerall. Those two guys just made so many play calls as iconic as just watching them.
Also know as the guy who commentates every patriots game
Moses it’s because the patriots are usually on Sunday night football or in the playoffs where he’s also usually commentating.
I'm a Seahawks fan and whenever Al Michaels yells it gives me PTSD. Especially when the Bills got that pick six off of Lamar and he yelled "And it's...INTERCEPTED"
Al is the voice of NFL
His voice sounds like the weekend is almost over
The new John madden... you turn on the television and it’s Sunday night you already no what time it is
This list is great, but it is definitely incomplete. Michaels actually got his start in sports doing Cincinnati Reds baseball radio. In the bottom of the ninth in the 1972 NLCS against the Pirates, catcher Johnny Bench came to the plate and tied the game with a blast over the right field wall. The reds went on to clinch the WS birth a few batters later, on a wild pitch.
“The windup, and the pitch to Bench. Change, hit in the air to deep right field. Back goes Clemente! At the fence! She’s gone!!"
I was 13 years old. I was there. With pops listening to Michaels' call on his portable radio. STILL get goose bumps. Those were the baseball days!! :) :)
Al Michaels going after fireworks indoors is classic. He did it after calling an NBA finals series as well.
