Reuters
Whoever wrote this particular script for Monday's edition of SportsCenter has some explaining to do.
After Leicester City was crowned Premier League champion by virtue of Tottenham's 2-2 draw against Chelsea earlier in the day, ESPN was ready to go live to England for reaction from a host of euphoric Foxes' fans.
There's only one problem: the teleprompter had a minor (read: enormous) error, prompting the anchor to unwittingly announce, in the most excited tone, that Tottenham had won the league title.
