Legendary sports commentator Al Michaels faced significant criticism during the recent Thursday Night Football game between the Miami Dolphins and Buffalo Bills for his lack of enthusiasm in play calls.

Social media reactions ranged from calls for Michaels to retire to defenses of his career, highlighting the mixed sentiments among viewers. At 79 years old, Michaels has not announced any plans for retirement despite ongoing scrutiny about his performance.

Regardless of the criticism, his legacy in sports broadcasting remains secure, with many acknowledging his contributions over the years.
