Big ESPN mistake

[soccer10k]

Since I had to work during the Cubs game I figured I would watch the shortened replay of the Cubs game on ESPN at midnight. During the telecast Scott Weiss was the guy designated to give the "we know move forward in the game" notices. Well, numerous times he said this:

 

"The Cubs come into the game with 39 losses on the season. This is the first time in [a number of years] the Cubs have had this few losses after the first 100 games of the season.

 

I don't remember the exact number Weiss stated (39 years rings a bell) but it was in the thirties. Also, he did this at least two times. I was flipping back and fourth between a couple channels but I caught this statement twice.

 

It would be unbelievable if the Cubs only had 39 losses right now. For one, not only would they be in first place in the NL Central, but they would have the best record in the league.

 

Major screwup by ESPN and I found it funny.

ESPN is garbage anymore. This is the network that roughly one week ago declared Dallas Cowboys safety Keith Davis "shot in the head and died" when the actual story was "shot in the head and thigh".

 

Quite a few Cowboys fans crapped their pants on that one. No I"m not a Cowboy fan but that moment will live in infamy when I think of ESPN. Oh and the time they reported Ron Artest was involved in some fight in Atlanta when he wasn't even there.

Trust me buddy, they did you a favor. I had to endure Chris Berman and Joe Morgan for all 9 innings... I was ready to light myself on fire.
