Starting at Fullback, Rookie from Purdue; Mike Alsott!
First revealed at his jersey ceremony, the missing T!
Nothing new to report here in the void known as month before training camp. Ah yes, just say that to yourself again, less than a month until training camp starts!! Hall of Fame! HOF Game! Preseason! Just around the corner! So we will cover one of the biggest Gaffes unknown to anyone until it was revealed at the retiring of Alstott ceremony where the Glazers presented Mike with a Pewter and Orange jersey, each framed in full view of Raymond James Patrons, one of which was yours truely. Except there was one problem! Mike Alstott’s orange jersey was spelled Alsott, without the ‘T’. This was announced to the crowd, and proof was played in the form of a clip from the game the jersey was from: Week 7 Bucs at Cardinals and Tampa Bay wore the Orange tops.

However at the time, the game was not released into the hobby in a good quality format. I recently acquired an A grade version of this game, and so Here are two quality clips, even though they are ever so short, showing the mis-spelling clear as day!
