Al Michaels got treated to more retirement calls during Thursday Night Football this week.
The 81-year-old called the Patriots-Bears game alongside Kirk Herbstreit on Prime Video, drawing scrutiny.
Among this Thursday’s complaints was a bogus fumble call. Michaels said, “And the ball comes out” on a Corey Kiner carry while Chicago led 3-0 in the first quarter.
Kiner never lost possession…
“Al Michaels: “The ball comes out.” *there was not a fumble,” one fan wrote in a post.
“Michaels needs to retire,” another fan said.
Two fans then questioned his fourth-and-2 call in the fourth quarter.
“I’m begging Al Michaels to retire. Just confidently asserting over and over that the Pats weren’t going there on a 4th and 2 in the 4th quarter,” a third fan wrote.
“Al is not able to comprehend that a team would go for it on 4th & 2 from their own 48. It’s time to hang it up,” a fourth fan wrote.
Michaels addressed potential retirement earlier this month. “At a certain time, it’s time,” he told The Dan Patrick Show.
