Ok, only three of you will care about this (shout out to my brother, nephew, and buddy Kevin.)
I've read for months about cutbacks at the
Dallas Morning News. It's simply a financial reality of today's print business - many whom believe that the industry is dying. That means the quality of reporting should be dying as well.
I've got at least some evidence that is true.
But I do know that due to the magic of RSS feeds I just read the "Season Preview"
about Baylor which will appear in this week's college football preview issue of the
Morning News. This is what has go me riled up:
Quarterback: Three players remain in the running for the job. "It's not like we can say this guy is that much better than that guy," Briles said. Incumbent Blake Szymanski ranks 12th in school history with 3,533 passing yards. Senior transfer Kirby Freeman, who starred at Brownwood before signing with Miami, and freshman Jeremy Sanders are pushing for the job.
That's wrong. Simply wrong. Jeremy Sanders isn't in the running. Highly touted freshman Robert Griffin is. ESPN (which shouldn't have better info that Dallas' only daily) knows that simply by reading the Waco paper. Heck, even MSNBC calls Griffin one of the "fifty most intriguing players" in America.
Yeah, it's just college football. But if they can't get that obvious fact correct, what are they screwing up in news that really matters?
