Al Michaels had the worst time calling the Broncos-Seahawks dumpster fire of a football game so he just roasted it instead

The Broncos vs. Seahawks game was bad. Really, really bad. The Colts won 12-9, which seems like a really exciting baseball game score. But no, it’s a football game score, which shouldn’t happen. Ever.

Neither team managed to score a single touchdown despite actually having extra time to do it. The memes were actually the best thing we got from the game if we’re being honest. Maybe this cringy moment from Russell Wilson was pretty good, too?

I don’t know. Clearly, the point here is that the game was awful. Extremely awful. The good thing about it for us, though, is that as viewers we could check in and out when we wanted to.

The announcers? Boy, did they have a job to do. Kirk Herbstreit and Al Michaels were on the call for this game and, well, let’s just say it didn’t seem like a very enjoyable one.

Al Michaels, specifically, seemed completely fed up by the end of all this.

He was done. So done.

He even tried his best to liven things up a little

It didn’t work.

Herbstreit was done, too.

He even understood fans bailing out early

If we’re being honest, Al probably wanted to leave with these folks. And who can blame him, honestly.

The fans could hear his pain

At least it’s over now. No one actually won here, but it’s over. Thank goodness.
