Al Michaels Apologizes For Harvey Weinstein Joke On Sunday Night Football

NBC Sports announcer Al Michaels is apologizing for an off-handed remark comparing the New York Giants' season to Hollywood executive Harvey Weinstein's sexual harassment and rape allegations. During last night's game between the Giants and the Denver Broncos, Michaels said "Let's face it. The Giants are coming off a worse week than Harvey Weinstein and they're up 14 points." 

The remarks prompted laughter from color commentator Cris Collinsworth. Later in the broadcast, Michaels said he was "a little flip about somebody obviously very much in the news all over the country. It was not meant in that manner. So, my apologies, and we'll just leave it at that."
