MLS Manifesto – Original Content Please
So, Richard at Pitchinvasion waxed epic on the growing relationships between major media outlets and the accursed, insurrectionist bloggers. However, he left out one very real possibility and one very simmering critique: how many newspapers merely recycle the bland stories from the Associated Press in place of original content? As savvy readers check out newspapers from around the country and spanning the globe, the redundancy and flavor-less AP snapshot doesn’t fill the intellectual stummy starved for insight.

Still, despite the unprecedented attention to the World Cup in the US, unfortunately big media continues to churn out amusing errors by the boatloads. You may recall the NYTime’s error about Zizou playing for Italy. Well, ESPN did them one better. Check out this screenshot…
Did you catch the glaring error in the match grades? A hint – think “copy & paste.” Okay, here it is in case you missed it… Continue reading “US Loses & ESPN Colossal #FAIL” »
Conclusive Proof that US Soccer Arrived…
No, I am not referring to the pervasive US parties after Donovan’s spectacularly dramatic goal. Or the slight spike in internet traffic. No, I refer to a more personal stat for this site. Continue reading “Conclusive Proof that US Soccer Arrived…” »
