Al Michael and Kirk Herbstreit will be in the Booth for Sunday’s Black Friday game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders.
However, Michaels had a very weird topic of conversation when he compared Chiefs tight end Noah Gray to Aaron Hernandez.

It was just about the Chief’s use of double tight ends similar to Bill Belichick with Rob Gronkowski and Hernandez, which was extremely innovative then, but it was still odd for Michaels to say.

Social Media Couldn’t Believe Al Michael’s Comment
Sometimes, the weird things announcers say during a game go noticed, but not this moment for Michaels.
“There’s at least a 47% chance Al doesn’t remember what happened to Aaron Hernandez anymore,” said one comment.
“Let’s hope that’s *all* he has in common with Aaron Hernandez,” said another.
“Al Michaels gives zero Fs. I love it!” added a fourth.
You have to imagine that the NFL’s higher-ups would not be happy for Michaels to mention that name during a primetime game.
