Al Michaels throws shade on 'DeflateGate' mention prop bet (VIDEO)

The New England Patriots-Indianapolis Colts game was one of the most anticipated of the season — partly because of the Tom Brady-Andrew Luck rematch but mostly because of that whole DeflateGate thing.

And an online sportsbook offered a prop bet on how many times the word "DeflateGate" — or a reasonable facsimile thereof — would be mentioned on NBC’s "Sunday Night Football" broadcast during the game.


Al Michaels, NBC’s lead play-by-play broadcaster for the NFL, became aware of such a wager and made sure to mention the D-word on air not just once, but four times in a rapid fire sequence: “DeflateGate, DeflateGate, DeflateGate, DeflateGate” taking the air out of the whole bet.

The over/under was 2.5.



Michaels then added, “Four. You won the over.”



Wonder how many of Michaels' buddies cashed in on that one?

49ers fan runs onto MetLife Stadium field, gets carted off by NJ State Troopers (VIDEO)

One 49ers fan thought it would be a good idea to run onto the field at MetLife Stadium during the Sunday Night Football matchup between the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers.



Only thing was, the New Jersey State Police wasn't having any of it.


The jackass fan appears to head-butt one state trooper while fighting security's efforts to get him off the field — peacefully.  The troopers eventually had to pick the fan up by his arms and legs and carry him the rest of the way.




The Niners moron was jeered by Giants fans as he was led off the field. And if the charges he probably faced weren't enough, New York fans can only hope he heard his team lose in dramatic fashion from a holding pen.
