Mike Missanelli tweets that 'Cruz is over.'

The Philadelphia Eagles stomped all over the New York Giants on Sunday night, embarrassing them in a 27-0 victory. That wasn't enough for Philly sports radio talk show host Mike Missanelli, who had to celebrate on Twitter after the devastating season-ending injury suffered by wide receiver Victor Cruz.

Missanelli has since deleted the tweet and tried to apologize:

"I apologize for the Cruz tweet. I didn't see that he got hurt on the play. Was outside the stadium and saw he dropped it walking to my car," he tweeted.

Missanelli is a sports talk radio host at Philadelphia's 97.5 The Zone.

NFL reporter Albert Breer took offense to the remark. So did the New York Daily News (hat tip to NJ.com);

Missanelli, per The Big Lead, has a history of getting himself into trouble. He picked on sideline reporter Erin Andrews over a dress she wore at an MLB All-Star Game and got suspended for homophobic language.

You had to know there would be at least one reaction like this.
