Al Michaels You Cab't Make This Stuff Up

When the world shuts off to enjoy a game. Al Michaels job begins. From the iHeart Radio Studio I'm Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Al Michaels YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP covers it all; the thrilling victories, the agonizing defeats, the chicanery and all of the fantastic inside stories including the surprising birth date information he received from Charlie Hustle; his near miss covering “Motorcycles on Ice” for The Wide World of Sports; bearing witness as Howard Cosell breaks up a nighttime street fight in Kansas City not with force or wisdom, but with fight analysis; and his memorable missed put on the 18th green playing in a competitive foursome with the Manning brothers. It’s just as you would expect from the inimitable Al Michaels. ABOUT AL MICHAELS Al Michaels has logged more hours on live primetime over-the-air network television than anyone in history, including twenty years as the play-by-play voice of Monday Night Football.
