The NFL is one of the most professional leagues in the world. Just one mistake could cost you a job in the league, and that’s in terms of players. Broadcasters have a little more leeway, so there is a lot to laugh about, and a resurfaced clip of Dan Orlovsky proves it.
Dan Orlovsky enjoyed a long and successful career in the NFL. The former quarterback played 12 seasons as a backup, playing parts of 26 games split between the Detroit Lions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Houston Texans, and Indianapolis Colts.
After retiring in 2017, Orlovsky decided to enjoy some nice off time with his wife and four children before eventually joining the ESPN team in 2022 as part of the #2 crew, where he would replace current San Francisco 49ers quarterbacks coach Brian Griese.
However, his time with the organization has undoubtedly not been perfect, as NFL fans are wheezing at a resurfaced clip of one of the broadcaster’s mishaps on live television. There is no doubt that it’s something Orlovsky will try to forget.

ESPN even took to TikTok to laugh at Orlovsky, posting a video filmed by the broadcaster himself in which fellow broadcaster Laura Rutledge calls him out for it. One fan in the TikTok comments even called him “Danny Dumps.””
It even went so far as to where Pat McAfee , mocking the ESPN analyst on his show. The two are now both under the parent company, so let’s hope there are no hard feelings. Hopefully, Orlovsky can continue to laugh at himself over this one.
