If you’ve watched “Monday Night Football” on ESPN over the years then you might have noticed that the graphics they come up with to talk about some storylines seem like they were created by someone who was on hallucinogenic drugs.
I’m not saying that in a bad way, because the graphics they come up can be entertaining in a what-in-the-world-is-this-thing type of way. It’s Monday night, you’ve watched a full weekend of football and your brain is mushy anyways, so let’s get weird, ESPN.
During Monday night’s late game between the Titans and Broncos, ESPN rolled out a graphic about John Elway and the draft and, well, this is what John Elway looked like in the graphic:

Does that look like John Elway? No, not at all. But again, let’s get weird.
Twitter had reactions:

Someone told the graphics person to make John Elway look like a hybrid of Mike Ditka and Ron Perlman. https://t.co/ru7nWBB6Yz

Why did John Elway look like a low-rent '80s action movie goon in that graphic?
