    Thanks AP, but Drew spells his last name Brees, not Breese.

    At least it wasn't Breezy.

    Hey, AP, when are you going to move something -- anything -- on David Price?

    We gave up and went with a Tribune brief and added info ourselves.
    Ain't nobody got time for this!

    AP usually, typically, unless in rare circumstances (read: individual effort) doesn't move stuff on agreements before teams announce their signings.

    It's downright infuriating. They didn't have anything when Jordan Zimmermann agreed to terms on Sunday.

    From the Conference USA championship game preview:

    Whoever has to cover this tomorrow is going to be pissed when they show up to an empty, locked stadium in Hattiesburg.

    Thanks for Sunday's Top 25 basketball capsules, AP, but Northwestern and Northeastern are two different schools.

    That did get a writethru a little later. The body of story made clear the game was going to be at WKU. Odd mistake.

    Great move getting that 3 p.m. digest to us on time. This organization's adherence to its own deadlines is comical at best, farcical at worst.

    But apparently Deshaun Watson has undergone a name change, at least according to TWO reference in the Clemson advance. Or should I change it from Deshaun Watkins? Sigh.

    Dear national baseball writer who I don't feel it's fair to name,

    It's a home run, not a homer.

    A home run is when a player touches four bases during his at-bat.

    A homer is one of the multitude of people your organization employs who covers sports in the South.

    Sincerely,

    Someone sick of making that change on first reference
