We all know Al Michaels doing Hockey during the Miracle on Ice. But did you know Mike "Doc" Emrick did at least 1 NFL game during the 1992 season for CBS? I have the video evidence:

Emrick was the Flyers' in-house commentator going back to the 1980s. Part of his departure was over his demand he'd be allowed to call sports on a national level, not limited to the NFL, which would have required a second voice to call games for the team.

As far as Al Michaels, he was the Reds' announcer back in the 1970s and was in essence replaced by Marty Brennaman who remains the team's radio voice.

Here is Michaels calling one of the most famous home runs of that era.

That was because Michaels wanted to move back to the west coast and got a job with the Giants.

Sam Rosen calls football games on FOX although he's much more known as the Rangers' announcer.

Al Trautwig, the studio host on MSG for a few decades is somehow an analyst for gymnastics in the Olympics. It's the weirdest ****.

Doc Emrick also called water polo during the London Olympics. It was pretty awesome.

He was a great announcer for water polo too. He made the sport exciting, even though I haven't seen much of it.

 

[John Price]

He did football for Fox too.

John Forslund has called some NCAA football games in the past. I'll see if I can find any audio. Can't recall him doing it in a while though.

 

[John Price]

A lot of the commentators you see on TV do other sports, they don't stick to one. Jack Edwards did nesn red Sox hosting while Bruins play by play voice... Joe beninati did college football on btn the week before hockey started. I think it's kind of cool and the geek in me is always looking forward to it. I watched a fair amount of Polo just for Emrick during the last Olympics lol.

Doesn't Baltimore Oriole TV Play-By-Play Announcer Gary Thorne does other sports?

 

[DyerMaker66*]

Well, he tries to. Unfortunately he's been in a bunch of NHL vedo games. Chris Cuthbert does CFL as well as the NHL, as did Dave Randorf before he left TSN. I think Jim Hughson used to call baseball.

 

[Peen]

Matt Devlin, the raptors play by play guy, occasionally calls Jays games

 

[MiamiScreamingEagles]

Ed Olczyk

 

[Fire Sweeney]

This voice sounds familiar

 

[John Price]

Yeah, Jack Edwards used to be a national broadcaster for ESPN NHL hockey and soccer. Wish he'd do it again.

 

[Hall of Faber]

Bill Clemete did the outdoor games for ESPN back in the day!

Doc Emrick is doing spring training baseball this year

Doc Emrick is doing spring training baseball this year

The Bucco's must of paid Doc pretty well to have him to do play-by-play.

 

[John Price]

It's supposed to be one game which is a shame but he's still doing spring training baseball

He's only called one baseball game in his life

 

[TNT87]

The Bucco's must of paid Doc pretty well to have him to do play-by-play.

He's going to call two innings for the Pirates during the summer. An inning for two games.

Sam Rosen is brutal and needs to smoke another pack or two of cigs.

 

[Sports Enthusiast]

Gary Thorne did hockey, college hoops and college football

Joe Buck does football and baseball.

Jim Nantz basketball and football.

Michaels does football now.

Not sure what you'd say for Costas. Don't think he's ever called another sport outside of baseball though I think he did cover a minor league basketball team once in St. Louis.

Now the best ones call multiple sports. Like look at ESPN. Swan McDonaugh. Dan Schulman. Dave O'Brien. Brent Musburger.

Young Al Trautwig came to Australia in the 80s with the Harlem Globetrotters to call their games.

I think that blowhard John Walton who calls Hershey Bears games and is known as a joke to minor league fans in how biased he is for Hershey calls some A-10 basketball on NBCSN.

There's Ian "I can't pronounce" my name right Eagle.

Gus Johnson. He used to do Knicks games on top of all the college hoops and football.

They both also do Golf.
