From the for what it’s worth category, and although no one loves to hate on the NFL more than I…the reasons for Michael’s exclusion is not quite so dastardly…
I’m more than willing to believe the other story I’m reading that says there have been significant complaints about Al’s bored and disinterested voice this season.

Representative of their product. His probably as tired of it as many of us.

Al ain't even under contract for NBC, he's an Emeritus on a "break glass if needed" contract. So if Tirico got in a car accident they'd call him. So I have no idea why this is a story...it would be a story if they kicked Tirico off to bring him back. Tirico is the play by play guy for every single major NBC sports event.
Fucking toad shill.
Funny, because his brother, the Eagle, as much as I hate the NFL is not a fucking pussy, shilling to the jab, being led around with a pussy chain like Swift. Lol
That was raunchy, sorry.
The scariest fucking thing I saw this year was Dolly Parton in a Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders outfit on Thanksgiving Day. It was like watching an embalmed dead person trying to walk on platform heels.
The new album she released is horrible. All covers of rock songs with various guests (including some of those who sang the original tunes) and it is a train wreck.

Yeah, I wanted to like it, but... yikes. Cool concept, but the product wasn't great.

Lol. The newer country music is shit. Half the modern "artists" are from the city and fake an accent while singing about their truck they don't have.

I used to hate the old stuff, then I came to appreciate it and now hate the new stuff (since late-90s).
Old country was foundational to modern rock and was a crossover for many artists in the 50s and 60s. It's all related, all American genres are step siblings to one another.
Don't lie bro, you smash it.

Pulse? Check. Well, optional. Good to go.

I'm neither a die-hard fan of or a detractor from the genre, but there are some people particularly in the 60-80s era who are highly talented and worked their ass off to get where they are. Dolly and George Strait to name a couple. George in particular caught my attention as after growing up on a ranch in rural Texas, he got his start in music while an infantryman in the Army in the early 70s.

Many country singers served.
Yeah, you're right. I'd break her open like a 12 gauge shotgun.
