Given the lofty ratings picture, Donovan said “we’re not expecting any big changes in our broadcast booth” for next season. However, multiple sources have said that Al Hrabosky, who has provided game analysis for a varying number of contests over the last 34 seasons, won’t return in that position next year but will continue in FSM’s rotation of studio commentators.
He also would be expected to remain as an ambassador for the club, a role in which he makes public appearances and mingles with sponsors.

I hadn't realize AL had been working as an analyst for 34 years.

Programmers finally perfected a machine that could say "Put it in play, and good things can happen" 150,000,000 times without breaking down.

Dan deserves a permanent sidekick.
Dan is too good at his job to deal with the Clown Carousel they have at FSMW.

Al is not a good color commentator but he's fine as an in studio analyst where you give your analysis in shorter bursts and no one really watches the pre and post game shows anyways.

Yeah, saying he's an analyst is like me saying I'm was a baseball player like Babe Ruth.

This would be better news than Mike 3:16 being fired.
