Jonathan Vilma has been a football commentator and analysts for four years now, but he made some mistakes during the broadcast of the Eagles-Steelers game that drew heat from several fans and analysts.

The most obvious of these blunders was when he referred to Steelers legend Franco Harris as James Franco, a distinguished figure in his own right... but not quite the guy he was looking for.

Twitter isn't the most forgiving place in the world, in case you didn't know. As expected, Vilma's mistakes didn't go unnoticed and without some tough criticism on the social media platform.

It wasn't just the Franco Harris/James Franco mixup that had viewers scratching their heads, however, as he confused teams, players and other aspects of the game.

Not everyone was overly hard on Vilma, acknowledging that he made mistakes but commending his delivery.

Vilma spent 10 years and earned three Pro Bowl selections during his time in the NFL as a middle linebacker, so he definitely knows his stuff -- or so you'd think. But, to be fair, if you're saying that Carson Wentz was trying to throw a football to... Carson Wentz, then you should probably expect people to correct you and poke some fun at you in the process.
