An eagle-eyed Broncos fan caught this mistake during the pregame. A rogue G found itself before the L in McLaughlin’s name.

Maybe there was a fumble in the handoff.

But let’s put some respect on Jaleel McLaughlin’s name.

The short-statured (5-foot-7) running back made a big (not just a long) name for himself after starting at Notre Dame College in Ohio. After running for a school-record 302 yards in his first career game, he would pile up 2,421 yards as a freshman. As a sophomore, he’d add another 2,316 yards.

McLaughlin would move on to Youngstown State for his final few seasons where he’d continue to pile up the yards. He would run for 691 yards in the 2020 COVID spring season, 1,139 during the fall and 1,588 in his senior season.

He’d finish his career with 8,166 yards on 1,250 carries and 79 touchdowns, finishing as the all-time leading rusher in college football history.

After such a prolific college career, hopefully this isn’t the moment this undrafted free agent is remembered for in the NFL.

PHOENIX — Arizona Diamondbacks fans will get to see Corbin Carroll don the purple and teal pinstripes in a game at Chase Field for the first time, and Lourdes Gurriel Jr.’s hair will finally match the uniform.

The D-backs are celebrating their 25th anniversary this weekend during a three-game series against the San Diego Padres and will wear their 2001 vest uniforms in each game.

The jerseys and purple hats were hung up at each locker in the clubhouse after Wednesday’s game.

The D-backs played their first season in 1998 and alumni from different eras including the 2001 World Series will be in the building. Randy Johnson, Jay Bell and Tony Womack, along with regulars Luis Gonzalez and Mark Grace, are set to attend.

The first 15,000 fans at Saturday’s game will receive a replica jersey. Longtime radio voice Greg Schulte will throw the first pitch, and trumpeter Jesse Maguire will perform the National Anthem.

Nike and MLB agreed to a rule where teams would wear four uniforms plus their City Connect jerseys this year, but an exception was made for the anniversary.

The D-backs have not worn their purple and teals since the 2021 season.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was one of the NFL’s most popular players in merchandise sales this offseason, especially with youth apparel.

From March 1 to May 31, Murray ranked No. 12 in the league in licensed player merchandise sales and was in the top five for youth apparel, according to the NFL Player’s Association.

Items considered were jerseys, T-shirts, hoodies, bobbleheads, plush toys, socks, face coverings, headbands, figurines, wall decals, backpacks, pennants, photos, drinkware, pet products and more.

The top five sellers were Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

Murray was one of the league’s biggest risers at 36 spots from last year. No other Cardinals players cracked the NFL’s top 50 in sales.

The sixth-year quarterback, Mahomes, Justin Jefferson, Rodgers and Justin Fields made up the top five in youth apparel sales.

The Cardinals unveiled a new set of uniforms in April after years of fans clamoring for a refresh. The last time Arizona overhauled its look was in 2005.

Murray will don the new red, white and black jerseys this upcoming season after his return from a torn ACL. He nor the team has put a specific timeline on his return to game action after he suffered the injury in Week 14.

The jerseys will feature the classic Eagle logo on the sleeve with large white numbers with a black trim.

The kelly green helmet will have silver Eagle wings stemming from either end of the forehead with a white trim.

Additionally, the white pants will have two think green stripes going down the legs. The team’s white socks will also have two horizontal stripes as well.

Philadelphia won three Super Bowls in the uniforms dating back to 1948, 1949 and 1960. The team has not worn the jerseys since current owner Jeffrey Lurie bought the team in 1996.

It was announced last year that teams would be allowed to bring in an alternate helmet, which Philadelphia used to bring back this design. It is still unknown when the team will debut the uniforms in 2023, though.

The Eagles are coming off a playoff run in 2022 that ended with a Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and have set very high expectations in the upcoming season for their play but as well as their style.

Who do you think has the best uniforms in the the NFL?

With the upcoming debut of the game uniforms for the Arizona Cardinals, the team and its players revealed another new look Friday at State Farm Stadium in Glendale: practice uniforms.

The clean red and white looks were surely one of the highlights for players in the first week of training camp.

The new practice uniforms are white and red, via Nike.

In April the team revealed three new versions of their game-day uniforms, which feature new takes on red, white and black with the same color pants.

The biggest change in the uniforms will be the all red jerseys with an “Arizona” displayed on the front. This will be the first time the state’s name has been depicted on the jersey.

The whites have a “modern flair,” with red numbers and names on the back. Additionally, the white helmets will have a larger Cardinal depicted with new shadows surrounding it.

The blacks complement the alternate helmets released last season with all black jerseys and red numbers and names.

The Arizona State football team appears to be mixing old school with modern looks on its latest home uniforms.

ASU dropped a teaser of the new maroon and gold home jerseys Wednesday with four close-up shots.

The most revealing showed the numbers outlined in white, a throwback to ASU’s look in the past before it turned to black outlines.

The numbers were outlined in white from Danny White’s era to Jake Plummer to Rudy Carpenter.

The facemask was also white, unique for an ASU home look. The face masks have typically been maroon or gold in recent seasons with certain alternate exceptions.

A feature seen on many of the newest renditions of the uniform remains with the black outline of the Arizona state flag on the maroon jersey.

The Sun Devils will assuredly break out several looks by Adidas in Tempe this upcoming season. They have plenty of games to show off with eight at Sun Devil Stadium, starting Aug. 31 against Southern Utah in the season opener.

Their second game is a blackout night against Oklahoma State, while the Pac-12 opener vs. USC will be a maroon monsoon on Sept. 23.

Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton’s newest shoes are two different colors that represent his home in the Bahamas and his mother’s birth country of Jamaica.

Ayton’s player edition Rise Nitro kicks from Puma were revealed on Tuesday, with Ayton explaining in a video that the meaning behind the shoes is to show off where he and his family hail from.

“I’m representing two strong-minded ethnicities, it’s just something I want to share and show the Caribbean that I’m truly representing them the best way I can,” Ayton said.

Ayton’s area code from the Bahamas is present on the shoes with the phrase, “#242 TO DA WORLD.”

“DominAyton” and “Bad Mon” are also printed on the shoes.

One shoe is Bahamian blue and yellow while the other is green and gold for Jamaica. They each don their respective nation’s flag on the back heel.

“Where I’m from I’m representing to the world, and I’m trying to give my best presentation,” Ayton said.

Ayton signed an endorsement deal with Puma in 2018 and an extension in 2021.

His RS-X Deandre released in 2019 paid homage to the Bahamas after Hurricane Dorian, and a chunk of the proceeds went to relief efforts.

He also donated $100,000 to various aid programs at the time.

Eyewitness News Bahamas reported on Tuesday that Ayton donated $10,000 to Junior Achievement Bahamas, a youth development organization.

According to MLB.com’s Sarah Langs, the former Arizona Diamondback now ranks 3rd all-time for longest name in Major League Baseball history.

In comes Christian Encarnacion-Strand, who made his Major League debut Monday for the Cincinnati Reds. The 23-year-old rookie has an outstanding 27 letters between his first and last name, establishing a new record for longest name (first and last) by a major leaguer. He also holds the record for longest last name with 18 letters, outpacing Simeon Woods Richardson by two.

Here’s a list where Saltalamacchia now ranks all-time:

1. Christian Encarnacion-Strand: 27 characters (2023 Reds)
2. Simeon Woods Richardson: 22 (2022 Twins)
3-T. Jarrod Saltalamacchia: 20 (2007 Braves)
3-T. Luis Alexander Basabe: 20 (2020 Giants)
3-T. Christian Bethancourt: 20 (2013 Braves)

3-T. William VanLandingham: 20 (1994 Giants)
3-T. Theodore Breitenstein: 20 (1891 St. Louis Browns)

However, the clubhouse team wasn’t having nearly as much fun as the Reds’ Twitter followers on Monday, as they settled on just “Encarnacion” for the back of the the rookie’s jersey.

Sacramento brought modern twists to familiar designs, with both the Association and Icon jerseys featuring the classic “Kings” script that was once synonymous with the then-Kansas City Kings and harkens back to the Rochester Royals’ look from 1951-52.

It also mirrors the script on the way-out-there gold and purple uniforms the team sported in the early 2000s.

Additionally, Sacramento is taking a less-is-more-approach to the color purple, with black taking centerstage just as it did in the Kings’ rebrand away from blue and red in 1994 up until 2002.

You gotta feed the Beam somehow, right?

As for the Statement edition, the Kings took inspiration from Sacramento’s checkered, two-tone uniform of the mid-90s that now includes purple fading to black. The checkerboard on the sides of the uniform also got a facelift from black and white to black and purple.

The “Kings” script is reminiscent of the 1994 rebrand, though also includes the word “Sacramento.”

“We are excited to unveil a new collection of uniforms that salutes the team’s origins while celebrating the organization’s future,” Sacramento Kings president of business operations John Rinehart said in a press release.

“We believe our fans will appreciate the modernized Kings script and the return of the popular color scheme.”

Sacramento didn’t stop at regular season, either, revamping their California Classic and Summer League uniforms this offseason.

It seems the Arizona Coyotes front office has a tradition on its hands. For the second year in a row, the team’s executives attended the NHL Draft in matching suits, and this year it’s all about maroon.

The Coyotes, led by general manager, Bill Armstrong, walked into the draft in Nashville wearing maroon suits and pants, pink ties and — most boldly — brass belt buckles.

The custom buckle features a classic Coyotes logo painted in color along with red highlights and the team’s name in natural brass that brackets the imagery.

Arizona holds the No. 6 overall pick and the 11th pick via Ottawa.

Last year for a busy draft that included three first-round picks, the Coyotes brass wore matching blue suits and red ties, standing out amongst the crowd before the draft got underway.

Arizona general manager Bill Armstrong said the suit idea came amid a long pre-draft process once the Coyotes arrived in Montreal.

“It was exhausting for us because there were so many scenarios in the first round because of the picks we could get to,” he told reporters. “It was probably the most strenuous draft in terms of lining up everything and making sure you had all your angles covered.

“We were in town early, I think maybe a couple days too early. We had some fun with it. We put our blue suits on there. … I do believe we were just the best-dressed team, but that was just my opinion. I don’t like when everybody wears different colors. So if anybody has complaints, it’s (on) me. We’re a team, we should look like one.”

It appears that a little idea that sprouted out of circumstance has now become a tradition.

Fans around the NBA love draft night because of the mayhem that can ensue with trades and superstars being shipped off to different places.

But a trend dating back to before the athletes getting drafted were born has been players showing up to the venue in an outfit that will make themselves stand out.

Some of the best suits — or worst, whatever camp you may be in — throughout history include Bol Bol in 2019 rocking a Spider Man suit, Samaki Walker in 1996 sporting a cream suit with cream hat or even Drew Gooden in 2005 or Amar’e Stoudemire in 2002.

Kansas star and projected first-round pick Gradey Dick set the tone for Thursday night, showing up in the shiniest red suit you could picture.

“I am from Kansas, Dorothy has her little slippers and I have my Dorothy suit,” Dick told the NBA Twitter account.

The hopeful draftee was sporting a rectangular pair of sunglasses, a new “GD” chain that is the logo of his brand and black dress shoes with red bottoms.

“A little subtle though,” Dick said.

Nike on Friday released the latest edition of the Vapor Edge Pro 360 2 cleats in honor of Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Nike Football (@usnikefootball)

The design of the new spikes was inspired by Murray’s all-pink attire when he was selected No. 1 overall by the Cardinals in the 2019 NFL Draft.

Murray’s fit that night — in which he became the first athlete in history to be drafted in the first round of two sports in the same year — was inspired by “The Roaring 1920’s” and his favorite movie “The Great Gatsby.”

The Oakland Athletics also selected Murray with the No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft.

Unfortunately for Murray and Co., the Cardinals signal caller won’t be able to don his new kicks when the 2023 campaign kicks off, as the fifth-year pro is expected to miss at least the start of the season due to the lengthy rehab process of a torn ACL suffered on Dec. 12.

Arizona currently has five quarterbacks on the roster in Murray, veteran backup Colt McCoy, David Blough, Jeff Driskel and rookie Clayton Tune, who the Cardinals drafted in the fifth round (No. 139 overall) last month.

However, due to an undisclosed injury, McCoy could miss some time in the offseason as well.

Cincinnati is now the 18th team to get a City Connect jersey, joining the Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies, Chicago White Sox, Miami Marlins, Seattle Mariners, Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres, Boston Red Sox, Houston Astros, Texas Rangers, Los Angeles Angels, Milwaukee Brewers, San Francisco Giants, Kansas City Royals, Chicago Cubs, Atlanta Braves and L.A. Dodgers.

Only the Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Guardians, Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Oakland Athletics, Philadelphia Phillies, Pittsburgh Pirates, St. Louis Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays remain without them.

But the Phoenix Suns guard did pull a little style similar to recently eliminated Los Angeles Clippers star Russell Westbrook: Backwards hat, sunglasses, low-cut shirt with a chain.
