Sports Journalism at it's Finest
Take a look at this picture and caption that was front and center in Yahoo Sports' written recap of last night's Pistons/Heat game:
Detroit Pistons' Rasheed Wallace, right, Ben Wallace, Darko Milicic and an unidentified player, left, sit on the bench during the last seconds of the fourth quarter of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference basketball finals at the American Airlines Arena Monday, May 29, 2006, in Miami. The Heat defeated the Pistons 89-78. They lead the series 3-1.
Notice any blatant errors?
As we all know, that foriegn-looking white guy is not Darko. It's Carlos Delfino. Darko has been shipped out of Detroit with the last load of Hyundai's.
Also, as we all know, that "unidentified player" can be easily identified by sitting down and viewing any Detroit Pistons game. His name is Lindsey Hunter and plays regularly.
How does this sort of shoddy sports journalism happen? It's so bad, it's ludiculous (a cross between ludicrous and ridiculous). I demand that the Yahoo Sports caption editor, along with the intern who wrote the caption, be immediately fired, and replaced by me.
