An American NFL commentator is the talk of the internet after accidentally drawing an enormous penis while trying to explain the machinations of a gridiron game.

ESPN commentator Booger McFarland (pictured below) was analysing the machinations of the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints match on Tuesday when he took to the telestrator to outline a pivotal point in the game.

Sadly for McFarland, his astute synopsis turned out to resemble a massive male appendage.

McFarland was attempting to explain how the Saints scored against a split safety look.

“We’re going to have a split safety look,” McFarland said. “Which means you’ve got the entire middle of the field open.

And the double entendres didn’t end there. “They do a really nice job of allowing the tight end to sit here,” he added.

And, yep, social media loved it. Check out some of the responses below:
