ESPN.COM blunder
Another "typo" on espn.com
As a frequent visitor to espn.com, I have noticed many mistakes in their stories. I have seen everything from words being left out to paragraphs being repeated. Granted, when I post messages on the internet, I make mistakes. However, I expect a little more professionalism from "journalists." Anyway, this blunder I found a little humorous. |

On a side note, the last article on the page talks about Craig Kilborn joining the Timberwolves for training camp. Although the story lists the traing camp in St. Cloud (the nearest big city), it is actually being held right here at St. John's university! With all the attention on John Gagliardi breaking the all-time coaching record and this being homecoming weekend, it looks there will be a lot happening on campus. |

I see it now.
I guess that shows how big an NBA fan I am... Or it shows that I ignore things like logo's... |

Well considering the sheer number of stories they put out each day, its not really surprising that you will find mistakes every now and again. |

I agree. The internet news sites are more "on the run" reporting than newspapers ever were. I've noticed mispellings and words left out of many Gammons, Stark, and Neyer articles that would bother me much more if they were in print. Although, you'd think they would have a basic spelling program on their computers to catch some of the things I've seen...

I apologize for my rant last night. It was pretty late when I posted. I actually found the error of replacing the Lakers logo with the Celtics rather humorous. It did, however, trigger the frustration I have had with seeing so many errors on the site. I also realize that it is more the editors fault than the writers fault. ESPN has this really annoying habit of splicing stories together, and you end up reading the same paragraph in every story about a particular topic, i.e. the Kobe Bryant case.
Anyway, please don't take my rant too seriously. |
