In today's technological age with Facebook reminding you about your distant childhood friend's birthday, it's hard to forget those all-important days. Just don't tell that to the Detroit Lions.
On Sunday, the Lions sent out a Tweet wishing linebacker Kyle Van Noy a happy birthday.
A kind gesture, of course. There was just one problem: Van Noy's birthday is March 26, which the Lions clearly weren't aware of.

The Lions apologized, wishing Van Noy a "Happy Unbirthday."
