Summary

NBC play-by-play voice Al Michaels, doing his 10th Super Bowl in Minneapolis, on his life in broadcasting: on cutting his teeth on Pete Rose and the Big Red Machine in the seventies, on whether Rose should be in the Hall of Fame, on his former neighbor O.J. Simpson and the "totally farcical" phone caller he outed on the nightly ABC News, on the amazing Brett Favre Monday night game the day after his father died, and on the storyline he loves about Super Bowl 52. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman on the makeup of his team and Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy on the Patriots chance for six titles. Plus, an inside tour of the Wilson football factory in small town Ada, Ohio, where every NFL football is made by hand.
