I’m sure ABC sportscaster Al Michaels meant to praise retiring “Nightline” anchor Ted Koppel during “Monday Night Football” last night. But his choice of words surely left careful listeners cringing.
Michaels lauded Koppel for “25 years of unbelievable, fabulous and incredible work” on the network’s late-night news program.
Unbelievable? Fabulous? Incredible? Not exactly the three adjectives that any journalist would want to hear applied to his work.
Still, my Colts destroyed the Steelers to go 11-0. After watching this team stumble through most of the past two decades, that’s something unbelievable, fabulous and incredible.
