One simple mistake can turn the highest honor into a joke.

On the day that a new class enters the Pro Football Hall of Fame that includes former Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner, we learned that someone from the 2011 class got surprised when receiving his jacket.

St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk picked up his prized Hall of Fame gold jacket only to see that they had misspelled his name.

After all the years of working so hard to reach the highest honor, only to see that someone didn’t spell check was probably frustrating.

At least they said his name correctly when being enshrined.

Spelling errors are so common now. What surprises me is that with all our technology how fricken easy it should be to double-check, yet they don't!
