    Well, he did play in the XFL for a year before that league folded. He must have thought that he had hit the lottery. Poor guy.

      Perhaps it's because they didn't admit that they goofed and if you didn't learned whom the Colts actually picked in the 2nd round you assumed that Leigh was their pick and criticize them for it.

      @@stephenholloway6893 This was 1998 - when the internet was still in its infancy. If people criticized the incorrect pick - to who? Their buddies at the bar? To the local sports radio station? If you weren't a Colts fan, you probably weren't even paying attention.

    In 2006, ESPN's ticker inadvertently showed Kyle Smith's name after the Minnesota Vikings made their selection. Smith was later signed by Minnesota as an undrafted free agent.

    ESPN is owned by Disney and when it comes to apologies or retractions, Disney does the Black Panther meme, “We don’t do that here”

    You need to do the Mohamed Sanu draft story. Someone pulled a Twitter prank and said the Bengals drafted him in the 1st or 2nd round. He was eventually drafted by the Bengals but not as where pranked to.

    I wonder how the people behind the scenes at ESPN got this wrong because they would have to know who's being selected before putting a name on the screen. I'm not sure that this ruined the draft, though.

    Oh, hey dude, just heard the part of the video where you say that you had a fever. Sorry. Get better soon. It could be worse. I had heart surgery a year and a half ago and a mini-stroke a month and a half ago. So, look on the bright side...you're not me!!! And I do not complain much as a lot of people have it worse than me. Take care.
