Al Michaels complaining about the refs throwing out so many flags during Cowboys-Giants was priceless
There are few people as funny in NFL broadcasting as a cranky Al Michaels, and the referees got him going during Thursday night’s Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants game.
Not only did the refs seemingly call a penalty on the wrong team in the first quarter, they called so many fouls during the Thursday Night Football matchup that Michaels started sassing the officials from the booth.
Seriously, he went in on the refs more than once, even comparing the game to Flag Day. Yikes!
Nobody likes when the flags start flying at will during an NFL game, but at least we got some priceless commentary from Michaels about it.
"We've got another flag. You have two more flags in the backfield. No more laundry left… And any number of calls coming your way." – Al Michaels
"There are fouls by both teams on the play." – Ref
"I'll bet." – Al #NFL #TNF pic.twitter.com/RHf7RDo63l

Al Michaels has had enough of the flags.
"You're kidding."
"It's the 147th (penalty)."
"You're going to need some new flags to throw in the second half. These ones are filthy."
"That is another flag. In fact, there are two. We wouldn't lie to ya." #TNF #NFL pic.twitter.com/NpAj20bJJZ
