Just the Facts, Ma'am
Holy shit! Two posts in two days!
I hate when life gets in the way. I've had many ideas over the past few months that I really wanted to write about, I just have not had the time and opportunity to do it. Hopefully, with the change of seasons will come a change in my ability to actually post.
Today's post brings us back to our favorite whipping-boy, Bobby Kravitz. Bob's article today was on Butler's victory last night in the championship game of the Horizon League and how they deserve a higher seeding than the NCAA Selection Committee has typically given them the past few years.
The article itself is really not that bad. It is just that Bob's laziness has once again crept into his work. One of the first rules of journalism is to check the facts. Bob has a repetitive glitch in his system that seems to prevent him from either looking up or reviewing facts in his articles.
Today's example:
They have the country's best road record 12-0 (1-2 on neutral courts).
Butler is now 28-4 on the season. They went undefeated at home going 15-0 for the season. Let's do the math Bob-style, shall we?
Home 15-0
Away 12-0
Neutral 1-2
Total 28-2
So, Bob, where did the other two losses come from?
And Bob, didn't Butler lose to UAB on the road?!? Forgot that one, huh? I think everyone who follows basketball in Indiana could have told you that.
Fucktard!
I might have been able to forgive the missing neutral court loss. That could have been from a typo. Except, again, simple math should have told you that if a teams has four losses, you should account for all of those losses!
How FUCKING hard is it to pull up the Butler page on ESPN.com to verify your information? It took me all of 20 seconds to find Butler's schedule on ESPN.com. I could immediately tell you that they went 15-0 at home, 12-1 on the road and 1-3 on neutral courts.
Double Fucking Lazy Fuckatard!!!!
Get off your GD ass, open a browser and actually look something up for a change, will ya!
Come on, Streebeck. Let's go track down some more villainous writers...

And where was the editor? I mean, does the Star just blindly print whatever Kravitz writes without fact-checking? That would be dumber than a land war in Asia.
As many typos and errors/omissions that I see online at the Star, I'm not sure they have editors that actually check what is written anymore.
Hahahahahahahahahah...(thud!).
