Kentucky's Barion Brown did something hilarious and ESPN let it happen

Football photo day can be a boring day of standing in line and waiting to get your picture taken. It's one of the many routine things that simply have to get done, but no one is excited about it. However, Barion Brown decided to mess around a little on Kentucky football's picture day for ESPN. Brown decided to photobomb his friend and teammate Tre'Vonn Rybka for his photo. This probably happens from time to time, players goofing around while waiting in the monotony. Instead of a re-take, ESPN just let it happen and posted it on their website, Barion Brown and all.

Originally, it looked like a joke, but you can confirm this pretty easily by going to the ESPN page and searching for Rybka. This is assuredly the photo they are using. I get it. If you want to check for yourself, here is the link.

The outrageous part is that as you look through the page, you can clearly see all the players and their headshots, but then there is Rybka and Brown just standing behind him. It's so off-brand for ESPN to simply let it happen, but it's hilarious that they did.

I'm sure there's more to the story that it somehow made its way to the ESPN page as his real headshot. Was it that the photographer didn't notice until it was too late? Did Rybka insist that it be the one they use? Is it a prank by the photographer to see if the head honchos at ESPN even notice? No matter how it came about, it's a hilarious moment in a season that hasn't had enough of those.

Kentucky takes on Texas this weekend in a chance to spoil the Longhorns' aspirations in the College Football Playoffs. The Wildcats can only get to a bowl game by winning the last two games. The game kicks off at 3:30 p.m. on ABC.
