“It looks like June 14th here, also known as Flag Day, as you know,” Michaels joked before saying that Martin “looked like a referee straight out of central casting.”

Michaels became increasingly disenchanted as the half dragged on. He initially sounded excited when Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux jumped offsides on a third-and-12, but the life left his voice as more fouls were called during the play.

‘We still have a flag. You still have two flags in the backfield. There’s no more laundry left,” Michaels said, exasperated. “And there are still so many calls coming your way.”

Martin then announced that mistakes had been made by both teams during the game. Michael’s response?

“I bet,” he said.

Michaels’ brutality didn’t stop there. When the Cowboys were called for a false start for a punt with 14 seconds left in the half, Herbstreit asked if that foul was the eighth of the half on Dallas.
