Al Michaels Monday Quotations

Those three words, Monday Night Football, resonate like no other.

Monday Night Football started in 1970, and when it started, it was something extremely special because sports had not been aired in prime time. So, it was a novelty, and a lot of people thought it wouldn't work, and, of course, it worked spectacularly well.

I feel like I'm a creature of Monday night. I'm home and I'm staying home,

That place rocks. When I'm in there on Monday nights, if the game is good, it's about as loud as any place in the league. People think it's laid-back ... but fans there can be as passionate as fans anywhere.
