Michaels confirmed that Super Bowl 56 may be the last game he calls for the network, but it won’t be the last game of his career.

“I hope not and I don’t think it will,” Michaels said in an episode of “On the Record with Bob Costas”. “So, my current contract with NBC expires after the Super Bowl. At this point, I feel great. I definitely want to continue this next year.”

In an interview with The Marchand and Orand Sports Media Podcast, Michaels recalled working with Hall of Fame broadcaster Kurt Gaudí, who told him, “Don’t panic.”

I thought to myself, ‘Worry? How could I be upset? I love it!'” said Michaels. “But those words still ring in my ears and I can see how some people working in this business can get tired – they get bored or they Tired of traveling. This has never happened to me.

That said, Collinsworth is also the majority owner and CEO of Pro Football Focus, a football performance data and technology company. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the company has a nine-digit valuation after selling a minority stake in the company to Silver Lake for $50 million.

So, between Collinsworth’s stake in PFF and his potential salary increase, his net worth could soon be quite high.
