If it's anything like the NASCAR stories from today, make sure you read it close. I think the AP guy found some hooch in the Crown Royal hospitality room and helped himself. Oodles of mistakes, including calling the race the Crown Royal 400 (last year's name; this year it's the Jim Stewart 400).
And please allow me to add another AP rant. Is it so ****ing difficult to put together a nice, 13-inch, basic golf story?
I'm looking at you, Doug Ferguson.
I just slapped the golf capsule from the Wachovia Championship on the page without really looking at it. While proofreading, it struck me that not once in there did it mention Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh tied for the lead. The AP took Ferguson's usual 42-****ing-inch lead and chopped it to 6 for the capsule, without having any relevant capsule-type information.
Ugh.
I know the blame rests with the wire guy for that one. But damn, Dougie, cut us grunts a break.
Been done to death, I know, but I had to vent.
