How ESPN Ruined the 1999 NFL Draft

[@TheLastoftheFourMKs]

Tbh I didn't even realize your voice was off until you said something about it. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

[@doktorwort]

Saw the headline, thought it was gonna involve putting Mel Kiper on TV 😂

[@crowtservo]

Who the hell is Mel Kiper anyways?

[@PAGoTribe1963]

@@crowtservo I understood that reference.

[@CTubeMan]

@@crowtservoI’ll ask this again, why did the Colts trade up to pick Trev Alberts in 1994?

[@PAGoTribe1963]

If I'm Leigh, I'm framing that screenshot and posting in my office or man cave.

[@Bruce12867]

Someone forward this video to him.

[@billhillard]

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.

[@arus64]

Don’t trust ESPN basically.

[@psychorabbitt]

I fail to see how ESPN showing the wrong name "ruined the NFL Draft."

[@stephenholloway6893]

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.

[@psychorabbitt]

@@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.

We hope you get well soon.

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”

[@miketemple7686]

I never noticed anything different about your voice. I could hear your trademark lisp clear as glass😂😂. It takes one to know one.😂

[@dangeiger9796]

Will you have any OJ Simpson related videos?

[@jeremydobbs5578]

Dude. I didn't notice your voice until you mentioned it

[@ralphmtsu]

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.

[@iamathousandapples]

Lol i was kind of hoping you were gonna talk about ESPN's fetish for player sob stories but i remembered you're better than that

[@GoBills79]

Inexcusable? They put the wrong name up. You're acting like someone died

[@psychorabbitt]

Hyperbole, thy name is JaguarGator9

[@ThursdayNext67]

I've missed hearing "that's worse than if you spiked the ball on every play"

[@billhillard]

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.

[@danielbowden6330]

Looks like you have either USFL helmets behind you or are those UFL ones?

[@runrafarunthebestintheworld]

They are UFL ones

[@beast1160]

ESPN messed up big time!!!! Get well soon JG9!!!

[@danstevens6515]

Espn has ruined a lot of things about sports

[@Shawn-eg1dm]

good story u found

[@marcus813]

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.

[@RurbanWalker]

Think about what could have been. Leigh could have won the starting job and history would have completely changed. Peyton Manning got very lucky.

[@quantumfootball]

39>38.6, so that rating was slightly better than spiking the ball on every single play.

[@OfficialJaguarGator9]

39.6

[@randytracy1742]

ESPN screwed up big time-no wonder they fumbled the ball 🏈 on the wrong player to be selected-the people watching your video e where puzzled by how your voice sounded until you told them why but I read your comment earlier and I agreed with you on the explanation! 😮😮😅😅

[@CTubeMan]

So if I had a nickel for every video you’ve made about ESPN showing the wrong name in a draft in the 1990s I’d have two nickels…

[@dontrumpjr2244]

No offense but could you get to the fucking point in your videos?! I know you make money from ads but JFC.

[@christianwootton100]

God Forbid if you hit 104F, leave the next vid for tomorrow!! 🌡

Or be like Abe Gibron and coach a game.
