For The Second Time In Three Weeks, ESPN Plagiarizes A Reporter's Work
In late July, ESPN got a well-deserved tsk-tsking from the Internet after a SportsCenter anchor delivered "breaking news" about Dwight Howard that was lifted, nearly verbatim, from a RealGM.com report.

Hey, Look, The Boston Red Sox Are Smearing Their Manager Again
The Red Sox stink. This we know. They are 57-59, fourth place, the whole thing. Why they stink is not quite as clear.

It Appears North Carolina Has Published Julius Peppers's Transcript For Some Reason

Anthony "Spice" Adams On His First Love, Basketball: "Yeah I Can Fly, For A Little While"
Anthony Adams continues his endearing quest to catch on with a pro football team. Or, at the very least to gain notoriety as a total goofball who makes fun videos.
