An SNY commentator brutally teased ESPN host Monica McNutt – over a humiliating on-air mistake – on Sunday night.
McNutt went viral earlier this month after she mistook a Barry Sanders Detroit Lions jersey – worn by Druski on ‘First Take’ – for a Shedeur Sanders jersey.
For reference, the Cleveland Browns’ jerseys are typically orange, brown and white whereas the Lions are typically blue or white.
Similarly to Druski, one fan at Sunday’s MLB game between the Lions and the New York Mets was wearing a Barry Sanders jersey.
When the man appeared on screen, SNY commentator Gary Cohen said: ‘Yes that’s a Barry Sanders jersey everybody’.
For emphasis, Cohen then firmly reiterated ‘Barry Sanders’, much to the amusement of his co-commentator, who chuckled away.

Earlier this month, McNutt, who is usually a basketball analyst, said to Druski: ‘The jersey. Let’s get into it because this obviously ties to one Shedeur Sanders.’
Druski, awkwardly, then replied: ‘No, no no. This is Barry Sanders.’
McNutt instantly apologized for the mistake, while Stephen A. Smith did seem to be aware that is was Barry Sanders who Druski was supporting.
Earlier this year, McNutt was accused of playing into ‘racial hysteria’ with a controversial theory on the popularity of WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark.
Asked by BBC’s Katty Kay to explain the reason behind Clark’s widespread acceptance, McNutt pointed to Clark’s race and her midwestern roots.
‘Caitlin represented, and again, some of this to me probably is not fair to her, because it was not anything that she said or was truly based on her personality, but she was a white girl from the middle of America,’ McNutt said.
‘And so she represented a whole lot to a lot of people, whether that is truly what she prescribed to or not.’
