Al's been slipping this year that was pretty obvious, but they should've let him finish the year out IMO. Herbstreit and Collinsworth are about the only play by play guys left that dissect the game at a granular level for those in it for the game itself and that don't sound like drunk Patriot fans annoying the shit out of you at the bar.
