… Penis Jr.?!?
Published
A Georgia news station had a hard time getting Michael Penix Jr.‘s name right in a lower third this week … creating a scene that had plenty of grown adults giggling like school children.
Check out the way WTOC 11 in Savannah presented Penix Jr.’s press conference on its Wednesday evening broadcast … it accidentally wrote Michael “Penis” Jr. on a graphic identifying the Falcons quarterback.

To be fair, the X and the S are close by on a keyboard — and we’re sure it’s happened plenty of times to Atlanta reporters since the 25-year-old joined the team last year … but social media users nonetheless ate it up.
Many re-posted the flub with jokes … and even Awful Announcing re-shared it by calling it “a bit of an oopsie.”
We’ve reached out to the station for comment on the mishap, but haven’t heard back yet.
Regardless, we’re sure it’s a pretty limp feeling for the responsible party.
