Danyelle Sargent’s YouTube moment can no longer be embedded, but you can still view it here. And we highly recommend that you do.
Sargent asked San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary: “”I hear that your mentor Bill Walsh was one of the first phone calls you made when you found out you had the job. What does it mean to you to be the head coach of the 49ers?”
Whoops! Singletary played for the Bears, not the Niners. Oh, and Singletary didn’t call Walsh, either. Because Walsh is dead.
Sargent told Dan Patrick on his radio show that she meant to say that Singletary called the late Walsh when he decided he wanted to be a coach. It was a taped interview that never made the Fox airwaves, so the producers stopped her and she just began again. She said she didn’t think about it any more, since it was never supposed to get out.
But someone put the clip out on the the internet and now Sargent is a YouTube phenomenon.
Sargent spent five hours in bed the day following the mistake, but said she has since come to terms with it.
