"Anal Charles," "Python Manning": What Happens When An SI.com Article Gets Mangled By Spellcheck
Reader Colin alerted us to this SI.com fantasy football advice column, published yesterday afternoon, and offered a theory. It was composed totally on an iPhone, and autocorrect had its way with the player names. That's not a terrible guess.
Here's what we spotted. Can you find any more?
• Wayne Bowes (Dwayne Bowe) • Rowdy White (Roddy White) • Emeritus Thomas (Demaryius Thomas) • Joe Flacon (Joe Flacco) • Anal Charles (Jamaal Charles) • Darren Cadent (Darren McFadden) • Python Manning (Peyton Manning)
( Screenshots for when it inevitably gets fixed.)
This, needless to say, is the best fantasy football advice column ever. I don't think the blame lies with writer Mike Beacom (are we sure his last name isn't really "Beacon?") Someone—he, an editor, a copy editor—clearly ran the article through a spellchecker, and mindlessly clicked "accept all changes." And so we have Anal Charles, preparing to get pounded by Pittsburgh on Monday night.
Update, 10:20 EST: And it's been fixed, except for one McGee in place of "McGahee."
