Talk about a unique slip of the tongue.
NFL rules analyst Mike Pereria became an unexpected talking point on Sunday, when he stuck out his tongue during the broadcast of the Buccaneers-Seahawks game in Munich, Germany.
Pereira appeared on NFL Network to give his input on a Seahawks touchdown late in the fourth quarter. However, things took a curious turn when the camera remained on Pereira, who then made an interesting gesture with his tongue.
As is the case with much of these viral moments, Twitter naturally had a field day over Pereira’s blink-and-you’ll-miss-it move.
“Wtf was that freaky little thing Mike Pereira just did with his tongue,” one user remarked while another asked, “Whats Mike Pereira up to???”
Elsewhere, some users suspected that Pereira may have believed the camera was off.
“..@MikePereira thinks the camera is off,” one viewer tweeted, adding, “What was that?!”
