A minor gaffe by President Joe Biden during Thursday’s State of the Union address had Pat McAfee thinking one of college football’s top coaches suddenly died.
While Biden gave his address, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) yelled at Biden to say the name of Laken Riley, the 22-year-old woman who was killed on the University of Georgia’s campus in February. Jose Antonio Ibarra, a Venezuelan immigrant who entered the country illegally in 2022, was arrested and charged with the killing. Greene, along with other members of the Republican Party, blame her death on Biden’s U.S. border policies.
In response, Biden said Riley’s name.
The only issue is it sounded more like he said “Lincoln Riley” – the head football coach at the University of Southern California.
McAfee was stunned when he saw what everyone was talking about on social media.
“I saw somebody with a microphone last night addressing the entire nation,” he said on Friday’s episode of The Pat McAfee Show. “He made an announcement that Lincoln Riley was dead. I get on my phone after this event that we’re at and it’s Lincoln Riley and he’s trending all over. I click – ‘he’s dead.’ Lincoln Riley’s dead? Wait a second, who said that? The president? Lincoln Riley’s dead? How is this happening?
“I saw his name trending [so] I’m like, ‘Wait, he was just on the show.’ I was like, ‘What did Lincoln Riley do?'”
The first post he saw, McAfee continued, said that the coach was dead. He was initially taken aback before scrolling further and seeing the president’s remarks.

No, no no - he's outside, looking in...
Take you trips, down to Hunter's strip club
Joe the Tater
That is what I thought too. I had visions that the old man found some of the cocaine that was stashed in the WH by Hunter..
Jumpin’ Joe be starting rumors and misinformation due to his retardism.
Well he slurs so many of his words, you have to allow wide leeway for interpretation
Bullshit! Gotta get some attention somehow .........
That guy is a total ass. “Where’s that place where two people sit on both sides of him? Who are all those people in that building? What is that building?” Then the three other asses start cracking wise. Not a mention or moments thought about Laken Riley or her family. Those four are as clueless as Biden. Probably all four of those idiots are college graduates.
I’m surprised poopy head didn’t say Abraham Lincoln was dead.
