ESPN Cincinnati Bengals reporter Ben Baby made the type of mistake on Wednesday that he'll think about for the next 30 years.
Even though it was an innocent mistake that could happen to anyone.
While speaking Bengals head coach Zac Taylor on Wednesday, ahead of Cincinnati's game against the Tennessee Titans this weekend, Baby accidentally asked about Cincy facing a 2022 division winner this week for the first time this season.
The only problem is that the Jacksonville Jaguars won the AFC South last season (via a win against the Titans in the final week of the regular season).
Taylor immediately looked perplexed when the question was asked. That's in part because Taylor's brother, Press, is the Jaguars' offensive coordinator.
Here's the funny exchange.
What an unfortunate mistake.
Baby is a tremendous reporter so I'm certainly not picking on him (I hope no one asks me in a public setting who won the NFC South last season because there's no telling what my response would be).
Still, it was a funny light-hearted moment ahead of a game that will be incredibly intense as both teams desperately need a win (especially the Titans).
Baby, by the way, can take solace in knowing that he's not the only reporter that's made a similar mistake during a press conference.
Last September, a reporter mistakenly asked Akron head coach Joe Moorhead about the Tennessee Vols' loss to the Pittsburgh Panthers the previous week.
Tennessee actually beat Pittsburgh, which Moorhead mentioned to the slightly embarrassed reporter.
