An official in a UEFA Champions League match makes a questionable call AFTER the game, the Nets lose James Harden for a few days, and the Boston Red Sox unveil their alternate uniforms.

- I know he's a superstar footballer, everyone's talking about him, but do you want officials in Champions League games getting players' autographs?
- To the answer, no, Jake. I mean, look, you shouldn't be anyway.
JARED QUAY: We all know FIFA doesn't have a great reputation, and what happened following a UEFA match yesterday wasn't a good look either. After Man City's 2-1 win over Dortmund, a referee was caught asking for an autograph of Erling Haaland in the tunnel. Now I know he was on the losing team, but that's not the point. A, you're a grown-ass man.
- I'm a grown-ass man.
JARED QUAY: B, what are you gonna do with that? And, C, you're a grown-ass man.
- I'm a grown-ass man.
JARED QUAY: Yo, could you imagine Jerome Boger asking Tom Brady for an autograph after an NFL game? Uh, yeah, I can. Tom Brady is shady as hell. First there was Deflategate, then he's 43 wining Super Bowls still. I mean, he probably got a fountain of youth in his backyard.
Brooklyn's James Harden will only be able to sign autographs for the next 10 days. The Nets guard will reportedly miss at least that long after straining his hamstring against the Knicks. Harden has been back-to-back Player of the Month for the Eastern Conference, and the Nets have been on a roll ever since he came over from Houston. It's all good though. I'm sure one of the other five former all-stars will pick up the slack. I mean, they getting everybody. I heard Dominique Wilkins trying to sign a 10-day contract.
- Oh snap!
JARED QUAY: Yo, speaking of Dominique Wilkins, y'all remember them old-school yellow Atlanta Hawk jerseys? Yo, them was fire. The Red Sox just dropped some heat of they own, too, with the commemorative Boston Marathon jersey. Yo, these are sure to be bought by every Masshole within a 10-mile radius of Beantown. But while Boston is rocking swag jerseys, let's go through the most ugliest jerseys of all time. Top five.
First up, mid '90s Toronto Raptors jerseys. Look, I know nothing good came out of the '90s, but this ain't an exception. Up next, late '70s, early '80s Vancouver Canucks. Oh, look at them. Yo, this the kind of sweaters that get you beat up in elementary school.
- Now gimme your lunch money.
JARED QUAY: Next, the mid '90s teal Detroit Pistons jerseys. Look, I know in the '90s, teal was hot. But this made the Detroit bad boys look like the Detroit sad boys. Next up, 1976 White Sox jerseys. Oh, they look like turn of the century barbers, 19th century barbers.
Next up, the 1999 Pittsburgh Pirates. Yo, can we get the guy who designed this retroactively canceled? Because you can't do that, bro. Nah, cancel him. He's done. Finito.
