Octagon Speakers

Al Michaels, one of television's most respected journalists, has covered more major sporting events than any sportscaster since he joined ABC Sports in 1976. He has been widely acclaimed for his knowledgeable and insightful reporting during his tenure with ABC Sports: as play-by-play announcer for ABC's NFL Monday Night Football, the most successful sports series in television history. In addition to his work as host of the Olympics, Michaels is also the only journalist to have announced all four major sporting events: the Super Bowl, Stanley Cup Finals, World Series and NBA Finals.

Currently, Michaels serves as play-by-play announcer for NBC's Sunday Night Football and is slated as daytime host for the network's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
