What a day for online news. I am disturbed and dismayed that there wasn't a set of eyes at the Times that caught the numerous typos in this interview. And not just any interview. A one-on-one Q & A with Florida's very own golden-armed quarterback Tim Tebow!
Copy and pasted (no edits):
A lot don’t have much hope or anything to look at as positive. I said, ‘Eveyrone looks at you all like you’re nothing.Does the new media department not have copy editors? Or heck, even spell check?!? I, like most Florida fans who read the Times, was super excited to read this article! But what a disservice to Tebow. It kills the clip that his mother I'm sure would be cutting out and pasting neatly in his scrapbook.
Everything you’re doing for people, standing around and singing autographs. You’re making an impact on people.
And the Times isn't alone today in sports news slip-ups at Tebow's expense. The error in this story at ESPN.com is even more cringing:
Gators quarterback Jeff Tebow had seven carries for 29 yards without attempting a pass in the most recent matchup, but has been impressive both on the ground and through the air in his first year as the starter.What. The. F$%K?! It's a SPORTS Web site!!!! This writer needs to be fired. Right now. He makes not only sports journalists but all journalists look naive, uneducated, careless and unprofessional. And that's just not cool.
