Al Michaels, the iconic play-by-play man on NBC’s Sunday Night Football, apologized on air during last night’s game after comparing the New York Giants’ bad week to that of Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced Hollywood executive accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault by numerous prominent and aspiring actresses.
“I mean, let’s face it. The Giants are coming off a worse week than Harvey Weinstein and they’re up 14 points,” Michaels quipped halfway through the third quarter of Sunday night’s 23-10 win over the Denver Broncos.
“Only my L.A. guy comes up with that one,” said a laughing Chris Collinsworth, Michael’s on-air partner.
