Score one for accuracy in reporting!!! We’re laughing all the way to the fact-checker on this one. A few weeks ago, The Sporting News’ Mike Farrell penned a blog entry whose accuracy and analysis/conclusions we destroyed in this entry that is well worth the read.

The constant and growing battle between journalists and bloggers resembles the antediluvian animosity that obsolete ‘leaders’ of many Athletics Departments have for “the internet”. Therefore, we liked this blog entry from Business Week.
