Headlines Can Be Tricky Things
August 7th, 2006

I am a silly goose.

Sometimes I glance over headlines pretty quickly without much thought. And sometimes, I see headlines like that one and think something like, “Why is Kobe hiring a lacrosse coach… well, actually, I guess those two might have a lot to talk about. Similar experiences and all.”

Then I click the link, and learn that ‘Bryant’ doesn’t refer to Kobe, but to a school with a lacrosse team. And then I feel shame.

    MJD,

    Know that you are not alone on this one. Precisely the same thing went through my tiny little brain.

    I can only thank whomever wrote the headline for including “Former Duke lax coach,” or my internal monologue would have been worse…or is it better…




  2. Big Daddy Says:

    Hey MJD - did you see where Paris Hilton said that she would not have sex for one entire year? http://gossip.about.com/b/a/257514.htm If true, it gives me hope for the Vikings chances winning the Super Bowl this year.




  3. Mike Says:

    It’s a conspiracy to get you to click on that link.




  4. The Big Picture Says:

    kobe should sponser duke lax. that’d be neat.




  5. Sean Says:

    At first, I thought the problem word was “lax” - meaning “lacking in rigor or strictness”. ESPN needs an editor who knows what the hell he/she is doing.

    And what the hell is the deal with this security code?? Am I really that bad at doing them?
