Dan McCarney was never fired. He resigned. That is not being fired. At least when cbssportsline makes such a mistake, you can easily email them and they'll correct it.

ESPN? No such option.

They don't give a shit that their writers not just are bad writers,  but haven't a care about what really happened. At least they're slightly better than the Associated Press. AP writers border on hysterically bad.

for commentary I'll go to Sportsline and for stats and standings etc, I use Yahoo sports.  Cleaner interface.

By the way, that says ESPN News Services which probably means it's an AP mistake.

"ESPN.com senior writer Ivan Maisel contributed to this report. Information from The Associated Press also was used."

He used the basic AP release. As a senior writer for them, he should have made the change while he was changing the article.
