With Mike Alstott entering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Ring of Honor this year, people keep digging up old anecdotes and thoughts on the best fullback the team has ever had. And with yesterday's misspelling of "Mike Evens" commenter Never Odd or Even reminded us of a pretty good misspelling: when the Bucs first honored Mike Alstott in a retirement ceremony in 2008, they misspelled his name on one of the two jerseys he was presented with.
Here's a screenshot from his retirement ceremony on NBC's Sunday Night Football.

That was actually intentional: apparently it was a reference to when the Bucs misspelled Alstott's name in his first two games as a Buccaneer in 1996, when they were still wearing those creamsicle jerseys, per the Orlando Sentinel's reporting at the time (via The Pewter Plank).
