NOTES: ABC "MNF" broadcaster Al Michaels, on working
with NFL HOFer Dan Fouts and comedian Dennis Miller in the
booth this fall: "I couldn't be more excited about the
possibilities. The upside is enormous. This has a chance to
be fabulous. I'm juiced. Dan's going to show people he

John Madden at CBS and Bob Griese on ABC." More Michaels:
