Al Michaels Names The Toughest Sport To Announce 'Without Question'

Baseball is a different sport to do, obviously. You have some time; it's more relaxing. I mean, baseball was easy for me, and then a ton of football. I've done 900 NFL games and probably a couple hundred college games — I get how to do football. Hockey is the hardest. Without question, Hockey on radio is the hardest. Because if you're in your car, you can picture a baseball game. This team's at-bat, this team's in the field. In football, this team has the ball, and this team's on defense.

In Hockey, the change of possession is so quick and so rapid. You don't get to see — like, if you're a fan of the Rangers, but they're playing Winnipeg, you know who your guys are; you have no idea who the other guys are. So, I think guys who do Hockey on radio very well have a great deal of respect from me because I think it's the toughest.
