Dan Orlovsky has had some great segments breaking down various players, situations and more across the NFL. However, it's fair to say that a clip of him on The Pat McAfee Show this week was not his best moment. The former Detroit Lions and current ESPN analyst admitted on the show that he wasn't sure what a "percent" meant when discussing specific topics, and after referencing Joe Burrow's sack percentage (noting he wasn't sure what that was based on), the internet immediately took it from there.
Orlovsky's honest admission drew some stunned reactions from the rest of The Pat McAfee Show cast, and McAfee himself seemed a bit amazed to hear it. Not surprisingly, Orlovsky's question and follow-up comments prompted fans to chime in with every reaction you
can imagine.
However, the most notable trolling of Orlovsky came from United Airlines, which provided an update on Starlink installations...and then broke the math down specifically for the ESPN analyst.
44% of our @starlink installations are complete.

(That’s 44 out of every 100 if you're reading this, Dan Orlovsky.) https://t.co/slDhjJPVvQ
The airline's lighthearted jab also drew responses from McAfee and Orlovsky, with the former posting several crying-laughing emojis and the latter asking how United got hold of the clip.
How did United get this

But hold on! Whoever runs the United Airlines social account wasn't quite done cooking.
The airline's X account then pivoted from the initial jab at Orlovsky to calling out airlines in general, saying they have "in-flight Wi-Fi that actually works."
We have inflight Wi-Fi that actually works

There are levels to this, and United Airlines fully understood that. The initial trolling was well timed, but following it up by extending the call-out so much further is just incredible. This one gets an A+, and I have no notes.
