The Herald articles on the web site are so strange it has me wondering if I'm losing my senses. ?? ??

I'm pasting the article just in case it disappears from the web site.

And then there is the AFC.

Looks like there is a new challenge for the Patriots coming off of a 14-2 season to see if they can do without Weis and Crennell ?? ?? ??

Oops! That's taking recycling a step too far ...
 
Apparently, all of their football reporters are too busy trying to find out whether or not BB was "the other man."

Can't get much lower than this. Somebody will be fired before the day is out.
 
Whoopsy-daisy! :rolleyes:

If it doesn't appear in the print edition, maybe the year was set wrong for that entry in their db/publishing system? Dates are a slippery thing on the web...I briefly lost an article myself last week by accidentally publishing it two years into the past.

On the upside, I'm now looking forward to a great year from Willie and David Givens! ;)

Nah - these snafu's take place all the time - as someone who works in Pubic Relations I can tell you all sorts of stories of embarrassing typos - it happens.

When will humans learn that there are consequences to playing with time travel?

Think nothing of it. In fact, I'm overscheduled for next week so I'm hoping that I'll write a column in 2008 to fill my quota.
