Spell check!

UniWatch on espn.com is always an interesting and fun read. Current column is largely about uniform misspellings. Granted it's a tough spell, but by the end of his career you'd think they'd get Gretzky right, wouldn't you?

But it ends taking shots at two of my favorite targets.


... According to this article, LaDainian Tomlinson has a tattoo of his mother's face on his right arm, accompanied by the words "My Insperation."

It's worth noting, incidentally, that there's at least one team that's never had a uniform misspelling: the Yankees. With a simple logo on the front and no player names on the back, they're typo-proof. And that seems somehow appropriate, because uniform typos are fun, playful and human -- all things that the Yanks refuse to allow themselves to be.

Yes, I ran spell check on this.
