Al Michaels/Kirk Herbstreit to headline Amazon's TNF

[eball]

Now that's a pretty good announcing team!

[First Round Bust]

luv Al, always have and always will, but I prefer Herb Kirkstreit to the other guy

[Greg S]

So Kirkstreit is going to do both the NFL and CFB on Saturday?

I think Kirkstreit does Saturday CFB and Herbstreit does Thursday night NFL

[MiltonWaddams]

Cris and Tirico on SNF then I guess.

[H2o]

I hope Herbstreit remains with the College Gameday crew, as well as calling college games with Fowler. That Game Day crew is my favorite, I even have watched them during the draft the last couple of years. I also like KH calling the National game of the week Saturday nights.

I'm not an Ohio State fan, so it takes a lot for me to say this, but I like Herbstreit on the ESPN college football broadcasts.  I hope that this new assignment does not take him out of that role.  I'm a big Michaels fan too.

Just point me to the Mannings broadcast

I'm with ya, but that's only MNF.

Al Michaels is a national treasure

[Mr. WEO]

The Herbstreit to TNF came out  2 weeks ago with the rumored pairing with Buck or Al.  After Buck and Aikman went to ESPN last week, it was assumed Al would join Herb.

Bezos football? God help us.

I thought Al was retiring? Of all the broadcaster shuffling this year, it’s upsetting Collinsworth hasn’t been traded to a greasy spoon outside Cincinnati where that Piccadilly dipschnitt can ramble on about “here’s a guy” to the four barflies who stumble in for coffee at 2 AM. 

[Giuseppe Tognarelli]

Michaels will be continuing part-time with NBC as well

[Freddie's Dead]

Herbie gonna do well.  He's paid his dues, he deserves a good spot.

[davefan66]

Not a fan of Michael’s, but he should be tolerable without Collinsworth. . 

[Ray Stonada]

I used to love Al Michaels back in the Al, Frank and Dan MNF days, but the last couple years he seems kind of bored and above it all. Might be time for him to turn it in.

I think Michaels said there was a choice between new partner or retiring.  

The "last Superbowl" he would do was regarding SNF for NBC.

Pretty much the last of the great voices of the NFL broadcasts the only one after him that has done it for a long period of time is Nance & Joe B. might be a future consideration .

Question about Amazon broadcasts… can they be watched at your convenience on your watch as are most streaming offerings, or can you only watch live? 
I have DIRECTV and DVR and always record games. I usually watch in real time, but it’s a nice feature being able to pause, rewind, forward, or go back at a later time to review. 
We can’t record from streaming services with the DVR, but the benefit is the content is usually available as long as you’re a subscriber. 
So, with live sports like NFL football, are games available after original airing?
