Cris Collinsworth Joins Al Michaels on Sunday Night Football

Just confirmed by NBC Sports Emperor Dick Ebersol in a media conference call formally announcing the retirement of John Madden.

Cris Collinsworth moves from the NBC Sports Football Night in America studio to the Sunday Night Football booth. He’ll join Al Michaels starting in August when the preseason gets underway.

We did have a taste of a Michaels-Collinsworth broadcast team last season when Madden took a week off on October 19, 2008 when they called the Seattle-Tampa Bay game.
