Synopsis
During the course of his forty-plus-year career, sportscaster Al Michaels has logged more hours on primetime network television than anyone in history, having covered all four major sports championships-the Super Bowl, the World Series, the NBA Finals, and the Stanley Cup Final-as well as the Olympic Games and the Triple Crown. He has witnessed some of the most memorable events in sports, and in this highly entertaining account, brings them all vividly to life. Michaels's stories cover unforgettable chapters over the past half century-from the 1980 Lake Placid Olympics' "Miracle on Ice" to the earthquake that rocked the 1989 World Series to the drama of what many consider the most exciting Super Bowl ever- Super Bowl XLIII between the Steelers and the Cardinals. Some of the biggest personalities on and off the field are here-Pete Rose, Brett Favre, Tommy Lasorda, O. J. Simpson, John Madden, Cris Collinsworth, Tiger Woods, Dennis Miller, Michael Jordan, Howard Cosell, Peyton and Eli Manning, and many more. From start to finish, Michaels gives us an up-close portrait of an industry that is a vital part of our national culture., In this highly entertaining and insightful memoir, one of television's most respected broadcasters interweaves the story of his life and career with lively firsthand tales of some of the most thrilling events and fascinating figures in modern sports. No sportscaster has covered more major sporting events than Al Michaels. Over the course of his forty-plus year career, he has logged more hours on live network television than any other broadcaster in history, and is the only play-by-play commentator to have covered all four major sports championships: the Super Bowl, World Series, NBA Finals, and the Stanley Cup Final. He has also witnessed first-hand some of the most memorable events in modern sports, and in this highly personal and revealing account, brings them vividly to life. Michaels shares never-before-told stories from his early years and his rise to the top, covering some of the greatest moments of the past half century--from the "Miracle on Ice"--the historic 1980 Olympic hockey finals--to the earthquake that rocked the 1989 World Series. Some of the greatest names on and off the field are here--Michael Jordan, Bill Walton, Pete Rose, Bill Walsh, Peyton and Eli Manning, Brett Favre, John Madden, Howard Cosell, Cris Collinsworth, and many, many more. Forthright and down-to-earth, Michaels tells the truth as he sees it, giving readers unique insight into the high drama, the colorful players, and the heroes and occasional villains of an industry that has become a vital part of modern culture.
