Last night during the game they’re talking about Miami’s orange jerseys. Madden says, “Well, how 'bout those orange jerseys. They’re not throwbacks. I’m not sure what you’d call 'em.”
Al Michaels: “You call 'em merchandise.”
Earlier in the season I still remember a disputed call. They showed the replay (maybe) once, and it looked like they got the call wrong. Well, they went to commercial and when they came back Madden says, “well, we just heard from league officials upstairs that the call was right.”
Michaels: “Yeah, that’s like getting news in the old East Germany.”
Translation: Don’t mess around will Al’s broadcast.
One day he’s going to be gone and you just know they’re going to replace him with a patsy. Enjoy him while you can.
