ESPN’s Mina Kimes hasn’t gotten her year off to the best start as she totally embarrassed herself on live television on Monday.
Kimes, a staple on the network’s ‘NFL Live’ show, is a consummate professional who excels at her job, but even pros can fail to find a sense of where the cameras are sometimes, which was the case with Kimes this week.
Host Laura Rutledge was asking Adam Schefter a question about the Baltimore Ravens when Kimes got up and walked across the camera.
“Hey, Mina. Get it girl,” Rutledge said, dancing and going with the flow.
“Oh, go back one more time. There we go. All right,” she continued as Kimes retraced her steps and sat back down.
“Just have Mina keep walking back and forth in the shot,” Schefter joked. “That’s excellent television.”

Mina Kimes Was Mortified
The 39-year-old buried her head in her hands, with Marcus Spears coming over to put an arm around her while she laughed.
“Adam you look way too happy here,” she was finally able to say.
Rutledge, also overtaken by laughter, was able to steer the conversation back to the Ravens as she asked about Zay Flowers, who hurt his knee during Saturday’s division-clincher against the Cleveland Browns.
Kimes likely thought she was off camera and was trying to excuse herself from the segment, but she will be more aware of her surroundings the next time she tries to slip away from a desk during a show.
In her defense, she’s probably lost a lot of sleep since giving birth to a baby boy in December.
