Super Bowl XLIII: Madden, Michaels on the call
Following NBC’s pregame hoopla, viewers should be treated to solid play-by-play from Al Michaels and John Madden, the NFL’s best broadcast duo. Andrea Kremer, Alex Flanagan and Bob Neumeier will be reporters. Madden will be calling his 11th Super Bowl and Michaels his seventh. The pair will be working their third Super Bowl together, having broadcast two for ABC — Tampa Bay’s 48-21 victory over Oakland in Super Bowl XXXVII and Pittsburgh’s 21-10 victory over Seattle in Super Bowl XL. They hope there will be many more to come. "I’d like to be back in three, six, nine, 12, 15 years,” Michaels said. "You can’t do enough of these. This is the essence of why any of us get into this business.” Said Madden, who coached the Oakland Raiders to a victory in Super Bowl XI, "It doesn’t get any better than this. These are always the biggest years you do when you end up with a Super Bowl.” The pair will have the opportunity to introduce the surprising Arizona Cardinals to a huge national TV audience, annually the year’s biggest. "Nobody could have anticipated the Cardinals in the Super Bowl,” Michaels said. "We know about the Kurt Warner story and Larry Fitzgerald has become a megastar almost as fast as anybody that I can recall. I can’t wait. This is going to be a lot of fun.”
