With apologies to Alan Muir, who wrote a great article recently about spending Superbowl Sunday "poring over two-week-old game film of 16-year-old hockey phenom John Tavares" we all know that Sports Illustrated really isn't the place for hockey. Check out what ran in the corrections section of the February 12th issue of Sports Illustrated (pictured.)
I get it, guys- you like football.
Sheesh.
I don't want to say that hockey gets no respect, but a girl phoned hockey the other day and said... "Come on over, there's nobody home." Hockey went over. Nobody was home.
Incidentally, this was pointed out to me by one of the guys who works over at The Smoking Gun. They have a little bit of experience ferreting out these kinds of errors, like this classic "Dewey Defeats Truman" moment from the Tampa Tribune, published the day after the Lightning won the Stanley Cup. TSG also has a lot of good background on Anna Nicole Smith today.
All I have on the subject are tasteless jokes that probably won't be purchased by TV shows- like this gem:
39 year old Anna Nicole Smith died Thursday after collapsing at a Florida hotel. The hotel is in stable condition.
I'll be here all week!
