Twitch dunks on Dan Orlovsky, bringing up his worst NFL memory

Former NFL quarterback turned ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky apparently doesn't know what Twitch is. Unfortunately for him, due to his ignorance of one of the top social and gaming platforms, he ended up in hot water.

Orlovsky took a trip into the proverbial paint and got dunked on, hard.

Twitch, or at least whoever runs its Twitter account, posterized the former quarterback after he claimed to not know what the heck it is.

Orlovsky has made quite a name for himself as an analyst lately. His charm as well as his football knowledge make him a natural for television and he excels in both breaking down the game and explaining it.

He's a far better "talking head" than he was an NFL quarterback. The moment Twitch referenced was not just the low point of his NFL career, but it was arguably one of the worst plays in league history. Backed up into his own end zone, the then-Detroit Lions quarterback dropped back to pass, rolled to his right and ran straight out of the back of the end zone. He literally dropped back so far that he cost his team two points via safety. The worst part was the fact that he seemingly didn't even realize it.

Luckily for Orlovsky, he was recently redeemed when Jimmy Garoppolo followed in his footsteps, setting the former quarterback free.
