AP fixated on Sherpas?

Found it interesting that two days in a row, AP writers referenced Sherpas...

CLEVELAND (AP) — Time to bust out the hiking boots, grab some sturdy ropes and maybe even hire a Sherpa.
The Cleveland Cavaliers have some serious climbing to do.

OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Golfers would do well to stock up before reaching No. 8 at this week's U.S. Open. Grab some water, a few bananas, maybe an energy bar.
Better yet, hire a Sherpa.
No. 8 at Oakmont Country Club is a 288-yard par 3 and, no, that's not a misprint. It's the longest par 3 in major championship history, and it's going to give the Open field quite a test — not to mention a workout.

 

AP's editors have a long uphill slog if they're going to weed out this kind of stuff. Maybe they should hire a sherpa.

 

If I told them once, I told them a million times -- No More Sherpas!

 

Sherpas like the attention.

 

Nice work.

 

I like sherpas - especially the Val Kilmer kind - they have great weed.
