    We're going to go ahead and believe that the shot above is of a part of the greater Jacksonville, Florida, area — after all, the stadium shown does look a lot like EverBank Field, where the Jacksonville Jaguars play. According to ESPN's Paul Kuharsky, observant viewers threw multiple flags against the "Worldwide Leader" after it became evident that some of the overhead shots on the "Monday Night Football" game between the Jaguars and San Diego Chargers were outdated representations of Jacksonville. According to Kuharsky, one of the aerial shots was actually of Charlotte, North Carolina. Kuharshy reached out to an ESPN spokesperson, who had this to say: "The Charlotte aerial was an inadvertent mistake. It should not have aired. We apologize that it was part of the telecast. "The scenics of Jacksonville that were used during 'Monday Night Countdown' were shot the night of the previous MNF game there in late October. We did not have a crew shooting scenics Monday. There were no graphic or audio mentions indicating the shot was live, though we understand viewers may have been under this assumption."

    They're the worldwide leader in sports and their using recycled video because they don't have a crew to shoot scenics? That's a joke.
