Al Michaels is a veteran sports announcer who has a great feel for the action and has delivered many memorable calls over the years. The joke he cracked during “Sunday Night Football” between the New York Giants and Denver Broncos was not one of his better moments.
Midway through the third quarter, Michaels cracked that the “Giants are coming off a worse week than Harvey Weinstein.”

Weinstein is the co-founder of Miramax Films and was fired by his company amid multiple allegations of sexual assault, harassment and rape. His alleged actions are despicable and not the sort of thing you want to compare to a football team that’s been losing games and players to injuries.
Michaels later apologized.
