Linda Cohn: "a two-run homo"

I've definitely filed a deadline story with the phrase "two-run shit" in the copy. Thankfully, I got good copy editors.

 

The funniest thing I can remember came from my community college's newspaper when it was running biographies of people who were running for student government:

"Below is the biological information for all the candidates..."

Of course, that paper is the same one that misspelled Jesse Jackson's first name as Jessie in the single biggest headline and story of the year because the editor would not listen to anyone who was telling her she was wrong.

 

That is always my biggest fear, that something like that slips through.

We almost had "T-shit" get through, instead of "T-shirt."

 

The equivalent of a funny typo. No biggie.

 

Funniest SportsCenter moment I remember:
A few years ago, can't remember who it was, was trying to say that the Florida Marlins had World Series aspirations. It ended up coming out as ass-pirations. (Not sure this translates in text, but it was funny when it was said.)

 

Steve Levy referred to Maurice Hurst's bulging dick. As opposed to bulging disc.

 

Freudian slip?

 

I didn't have that luxury; so "16 shits on goal" ran untouched

 

You're freaking kidding right?

 

Actual moment on local radio a while back. Obviously the misspoken word here is 'clock.' The second guy should be writing for Letterman.

1st guy: "There's only two ticks left on the cock."
2nd guy: "There's not much time left, either."

 

George Bush just called Alberto Gonzalez "the eternal general."

I fear he was right.
