--ABC trades the rights to broadcaster Al Michaels to NBC for: the rights to broadcast live Friday coverage of the Ryder Cup golf championship between the United States and Europe in 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2014, as well as the right to re-air NBC coverage and extended highlights; expanded Olympics highlights from this year through 2012; "Monday Night Football" promotions during the NBC Sunday night NFL game through 2011; expanded highlights from Notre Dame football, the Kentucky Derby, and the Preakness through 2011; and the rights to a cartoon character named "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit".

No joke.
