CORRECTIONS FOR THE WEEK THAT WAS: 3/28/08

by Orson on Mar 28, 2008 11:30 AM EDT

We all make mistakes. In fact, some of us specialize in them. Thus, we present the EDSBS Corrections for the week through 3/28/08.

Mistakes: we make 'em.

On Tuesday, we mentioned that Bo Pelini's middle name was "Steven." This is incorrect: Pelini's middle name is Wrathhammer. We regret the error.

On Monday, we quoted the number of sacks allowed by Notre Dame last year as 58. This was correct, but left out the other stat lines.

Pressures: 324

Disembowelments: 15

Decapitations: 7

Drawn and Quartered: 9

Thrown off cliff in Iraq by U.S. soldiers: 3

Strapped in chair and forced to watch Ang Lee's The Hulk: 1

Again, we regret the error.

On Wednesday, we referred to Bobby Bowden as a former lover of Rudolf Nuryev and "one of the most notorious power bottoms in the Castro's jet-set weekend crew in the 70s" This was based on false information and bad sourcing, and we regret the error.

Also on Wednesday, we implicated Bobby Bowden in the shooting of Tupac Shakur. This, too, was based on bad information. (Thank god we didn't actually do that...unlike the LA Times actually did to someone.)

On Tuesday, we referred to our consumption of Tylenol Orange Flavored Cough Medicine in Las Vegas. This was a misrepresentation. We were actually smoking moonrock and huffing benzene at the time and chasing it with the Orange Drank. We regret the error.

On Monday, we suggested that Rutgers coach Greg Schiano was lactose-intolerant. This is not accurate. He is just naturally gassy and has a problem processing complex starches. We regret the error.

On Thursday, we reported on the death of Brent Musberger in a Texas hotel room following a squabble with Mexican drug dealers and an unstoppable, shadowy killer fond of coin flips. This did not actually happen, and was instead the plot of the Oscar-winning No Country For Old Men with the words "Brent Musburger" put in place of "Josh Brolin." Again, we regret the error.

I almost killed Brent Musburger once.

I was riding my bike back from work the day before the USC/Nebraska game and he was coming out of the Cornhusker hotel. I almost hit him, but got on my breaks just in time. When I realized who it was, I kind of wished my reaction time wasn’t so good. At any rate, he basically just said “watch where you’re going, young man,” in a perfectly cliched moment of old crotchety-ness, which was kind of priceless, and then marched off with his entourage to do whatever it is tweedy out-of-there-element sports casters do in Lincoln Nebraska the night before a game.

Orson – you don’t need to apologize for the Brent Musberger mishap. When you said he was choking on Tressel’s pecker, we knew you didn’t mean asphyxiation.

It’s always sunny in philadelphia, especially when you’re a power bottom.

Yes, that would be "asdixiation,

I’m sorry.

Is this an homage to the late, great Might magazine? Well done. Yes, especially the power bottom reference. I miss the Boi from Troy. Fare thee well, BfT.

At a wedding 2 weekends ago I saw 5 year old grab and down his dad’s shinerbock in about 30 seconds. one of the most awesome/sad things I’ve ever seen my entire life. The dad just laughed and grabbed another one…
