MADDEN AND MICHAELS AT THE SUPER BOWL

Washington Post calls \"the most entertaining two-man pro football announcing team on television\"

When NBC broadcasts its first Super Bowl in 10 years on February 1 in
Tampa, the men behind the microphones will be the legendary duo of Al
Michaels and John Madden, whom the Washington Post called \“the most
entertaining two-man pro football announcing team on television,\” and
USA Today readers just voted as the best NFL game announcers. They will
call their third Super Bowl together having previously called Super
Bowls XXXVII and XL for ABC.



For Madden, the most honored NFL broadcaster of all time with 16 Emmy
Awards, this will be the 11th Super Bowl of his distinguished
broadcasting career and 13th Super Bowl overall when combining his
coaching and broadcasting career.  Only Pat Summerall with 16 has
called more Super Bowls than Madden. Of Madden\‘s previous 10 Super Bowl
broadcasts, eight were called with Summerall.  Madden won Super Bowl XI
as the head coach of the Oakland Raiders and served as an assistant
coach for the Raiders in Super Bowl II.



For Michaels, who\‘s been called \“TV\‘s best play-by-play announcer\” by
the Associated Press, this marks his seventh Super Bowl, which equals
the number called by the legendary Curt Gowdy.



Since 1982 when John Madden called his first Super Bowl, the 49ers
26-21 victory over the Bengals in Super Bowl XVI, Madden and Michaels
have combined to call 14 of the 27 Super Bowls played.
