This game will break a streak of 26 straight @USMNT games with either Stu Holden or Taylor Twellman as analyst (3/27/18, Tony Meola). @TaylorTwellman had handled ESPN's last 22 USMNT telecasts (Kasey Keller, 6/5/15). @AdrianHealey gets his 11th cap, @BrianDunseth his 5th,

Ooh. Found while looking for something else... Tonight is Al Michaels's 61st NFL playoff telecast. That breaks a tie with Dick Enberg for #2 among PBP men, behind Pat Summerall (82).

Statistic no one asked for... Tonight appears to be the 53rd time someone has hit three home runs in a game on a national MLB telecast. Seven of those were on Sunday Night Baseball.

Yes, we're talking about the four major pro sports -- the clock started 13 hours or so later if you're talking about college hoops, for example. (If the first things back are NASCAR, soccer, golf, tennis, etc., I will be WATCHING, but they're outside the scope of our records.)

Not on the original list of things to tweet, but happened... Bruce Arians: First NFL TV commentator to call a tie in his debut since Steve Davis, who was on the sidelines for the Eagles-Ravens tie in 1997. (First analyst to do that in the regular-season OT era [1974].)

Today's schedule and announcers, to the extent that we know it. (The Indianapolis 500 doesn't actually start until 2:30, but TV/radio both sign on at 1.) There's also a four-hour ESPN2 tennis window from "Cincinnati", but I don't usually list early rounds of non-majors.

Albert's U.S. PBP totals include: 1116 NBA telecasts 297 NFL telecasts 34 NHL telecasts 5 MLB telecasts Bob Cole is ahead of him in Canada and Dick Stockton also passes him if you include non-PBP roles, but Albert started his Knicks career in the Kennedy administration.
