I'm sure Al Michaels thinks it's great cos they're probably paying him a lot of money to use his voice. The first couple of these will be the talent getting most of what they'd get anyway, to soften the ground, before eventually they pay next to (or actually) nothing in the future

If you have it forever, why have anyone else do it? or until they feel like it.

In the future all sports announcers are Ai Michaels!
