Al Michaels traded for rabbit.

I've heard of the term "throw-in" to describe something to be used to sweeten a deal, but it's a little weird to add a cartoon character when you're negotiating for a sportscaster.

By granting Michaels his exit papers, The Walt Disney Co., ABC's parent company, will get back a piece of its history from NBC Universal: the first animated character created by Disney and the forerunner to Mickey Mouse.
Nice to see Oswald home again, even if Disney is one of the Evil Empires.

Hmm, forgot the link for more info. Of course, you guys never click the links in my posts. I know because sometimes I do dopey things with that like Dave Barry does and nobody comments.

I just got the credit card bill from my Anaheim trip so yes, I agree that Disney is the evil empire.
