Bills' statement firing Sean McDermott had an embarrassing typo

The Buffalo Bills fired Sean McDermott on Monday, and as is customary, owner Terry Pegula put together a statement that was shared on social media.

It had a typo in the first line.

This was the first sentence of the statement:

"Sean has done an admiral job of leading our football team for the past 9 seasons," said owner Terry Pegula.

The word they're looking for is admirable.

McDermott wasn't involved with a ship as an admiral.

He was a head football coach.

Social media certainly didn't miss the chance to dunk on this, either:

Using "admiral" instead of "admirable" in the first sentence of a controversial head coach firing is a brutal mistake. Truly a captain offense. https://t.co/dHqk8wTPMs

Might be a good lesson learned for some here, too.

If you're about to send an email with that word in it, make sure you're using admirable correctly.

Otherwise, things might get quite naval.
