Hey Reporter, What Game You Watchin'?

As if to illustrate my points on the MSM and basketball, check this out:

The scoring (by paper) of two high-school title games:

Game 1, Team 1

Globe: 32, 10, 9, 7, 5
Local: 32, 10, 9, 7, 5

Game 1, Team 2

Globe: 27, 18, 14, 5, 4
Local: 25, 20, 14, 5, 4

Game 2, Team 1

Globe: 16, 13, 4, 3, 2
Local: 17, 9, 5, 3, 2, 2

WTF?

Game 2, Team 2

Globe: 27, 22, 16, 7
Local: 27, 24, 16, 3, 2

I can understand a mistake or two, readers, but c'mon!!!!

I'll never doubt myself and my record-keeping statistics again, readers, not against the newspapers.

And I'll be taking much of the day off for tournament study (a chance I have to raise a few hundred dollars income for a few bucks) as well as preparation for tonight's game. I will be approaching or pick-up game as if it is a state title game tonight!! I'm excited already and it's hours away!
