Lying about scores

For the record, jokes are funny.

 

I lobbed it up there. I didn't think it would be too long for someone to smash it.

And I never claimed it to be funny.

 

come on, ed. it's all good.

 

There's a Mrs. Petty? Shit, how'd that happen? I thought you were married to the Marlboro Man.

 

Oh, of course it is, Tom.

 

So you decided to make an unfunny joke? Yeah, good luck with that.

 

come on, meat. you made your point earlier.

 

and now I'm pointing out my point. it's pointy.

 

read your PMs, bastard.

 

Uh, not sure how Hitler figures into this, but the policy at my paper regarding corrections is the "Due to incorrect information supplied to the Podunk Press ..." bit.

As far as checking with other coaches, that's the norm with area games. We try to get both coaches for kid's names, stats, etc. This one was an out-of-area game, so we didn't bother calling the other team. Paper in that area doesn't cover the "fringe" sports, so that would have been a bust as well.

Talking with the AD seems like a good next step. Thanks for the advice. I get to cover this team on Thursday. Yippee.

 

It's a fucking piss-ant volleyball coach. If you want to do a 100-inch takeout on "DECEIT ON THE SIDELINES," knock yourself out. Now where the hell is Rommel when I need him?

 

OK, my apologies.

I honestly have trouble sensing sarcasm sometimes.
