Anyone who reads the site knows we make our fair share of errors, but we like to think it's a tad more "acceptable" compared to the errors made by mainstream outlets when one considers that just 4 people write for this not-massive sports humor conglomerate -- three of whom have full time jobs and full time female companions.  But that doesn't stop us from mocking the professionals when they mess up.  Not one bit.

In our never-ending quest to carry out our site's motto, we usually stumble on to some glitches via the most reliable and proficient Web sites.  After viewing the following, we're starting to think the folks in charge of online affairs at the major sports Dot Coms are smarter than we give them credit for; maybe they do have a sense of humor and just like to have a little fun every now and then.

See the description of Mo Williams' injury below.

This one isn't a glitch so much as too much information.  But what, must we ask, is "pubic symphistis"?  According to Web MD  Wikipedia, it's actually called "pubic symphysis", which mans... The pubic symphysis is the midline cartilaginous joint (secondary cartilaginous) uniting the superior rami of the left and right pubic bones. It is located anterior to the urinary bladder and superior to the external genitalia; for females it is above the vulva and for males it is above the penis. In males, the suspensory ligament of the penis attaches to the pubic symphysis. In females, the pubic symphysis is intimately close to the clitoris.

So essentially, they're telling us that Mo Williams has one of those things, but it's of the ill variety, hence the symphysitis.  Sounds like too much whoring with NBA groupies.  On to a more egregious human error...

Most everyone knows the Giants are one of the worst teams in baseball, but we had no idea things had gotten this bad:

And before you throw your arms up in the air accusing the ESPN online team of stupidity, it may just be that they're playing a joke on us.  At least that's what it seems like at Yahoo! Sports, in their description of Brad Penny's schedule for April the 16th.

GET IT!?  Cuz they're a football team! 

Those crazy dot-commies: always pulling jokes and making trickery.

[Note: Friday we'll debut a brand shiny new MediaSpace page.  Shhhh... don't tell anyone.]

cbssportsline.com had a bit TOO BRIEF of a description for Kaz Matsui's recent injury, which just happened to be an Anal Fissure. Their Injury Report merely described it as "ANAL"!Needless to say, that figured in my decision to NOT draft him for my fantasy league team.

Oh man, did you see that other mistake? A right "calf" strain? A calf is a baby cow, dummy.

What does pubic symphysis "man"?

That would be awesome.

I think the next Mediaspace should be on Ric Bucher. It can reveal how he's actually a polygamist with a compound in northern Utah.

Any commenters want to gamble on who the new mediaspace page will be? Bonds? Pacman? Berman?

That's no mistake on the Gaints line score. Those spazzes score negative runs every f-ing time I pitch.

On May 30, 1988 Atherton was forced to sit out the game and was disciplined by Indians manager Doc Edwards after eating an entire tube of eye black that he found on the dugout floor.
