TV Station Roasted For Typo On Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr.’s Name

A Georgia TV station is arousing attention for an unfortunate typo regarding Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr.

During a story about a scuffle the second-year starter was involved in during a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans, the Savannah, Georgia, CBS affiliate put up a chyron that misspelled Penix’s last name.

celebrity.land reached out to WTOC for comment, but no one immediately responded.

Mediaite did offer some grace to the WTOC chyron operator by noting that “X” and “S” are pretty darn close on QWERTY keyboards.

No video of the unfortunate typo appears on the station’s website, but, not surprisingly, the clip has gone viral ― and is inspiring some pretty ballsy comments on social media.
