So Brian Reynolds, the Senior Web Producer for the Houston Chronicle, was an idiot and tweeted this in response to Urban saying their FG return play is called "Bama."



He evidently meant to post it to his personal account, because the Chronicle tweet was quickly deleted and he reposted a similar remark on his personal account.

Of course 11W was all over this, which meant Buckeye Nation quickly found out and started eviscerating the Chronicle and Reynolds. The responses to Reynolds' "apology" (which obviously is a pile of [Mark May] which he doesn't actually mean) on his personal account are pure gold.

DETROIT FREE PRESS WRITER CAUGHT PLAGIARIZING ARTICLE FROM ONLINE SITE
Posted by Ken Fang on Dec 27, 2015 11:00

Back on November 20, iSportsWeb’s David Harns chronicled the story of quadriplegic Miranda McCoy who became a big fan of Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook. It was a very emotional story. Three weeks later, the Detroit Free Press picked up the story through a column by Drew Sharp. The only problem is that it wasn’t a different story, it was practically the same story.

The Detroit Sports Rag’s Justin Spiro pieced together what was an extensive piece and he discovered that not only did Sharp not talk to McCoy, the details of the story were lifted directly from Harns and iSportsWeb without any direct attribution. Spiro writes that Sharp did speak with Cook to get some background, but McCoy noted to the Detroit Sports Rag that she was never interviewed by the Free Press writer and there were errors in Sharp’s story:

“I have not talked to Drew Sharp or anyone else with the Free Press before or after their story was published. I was browsing Twitter and noticed Joe Rexrode praising Drew Sharp for his article about me. At first I thought it was cool that someone had picked up on Dave’s story, then I read it. I paused and was like ‘wait, what?’ I didn’t tell any of this stuff to him, and there were some details about me that were wrong.”​

According to Spiro, the Free Press was made aware of the plagiarism and edited the article to note that it was details of the story was taken from iSportsWeb and include links to the site. The Free Press offered Harns compensation in the form of a free-lance rate as he had written for the publication in the past. It appears he refused, but asked the Free Press to donate it to a charity close to McCoy and the paper did that doubling the rate originally offered. In addition, Spiro reports that Sharp apologized to Harns and tried to offer compensation as well.

Matt Hayes of "The Sporting News" laid off, according to multiple sources.

Never like celebrating someone losing their employment, so I'll just say "Sh*t Happens" (and it's probably Urban Meyer, Ohio State, and/or Jim Tressel's fault).

Couldn't happen to a better douchebag. Hope he stays unemployed a long, long time.

SN was always very baseball-centric when I was a kid. Their annual Baseball Register was a bible for stat-heads like me.

Maybe if they'd stuck to their roots they'd be doing better right now. But as it is, they're just an anachronistic, me-too mediocrity.

Yeah, I used to love pouring through their baseball stats section every week. They were the only major publication that printed full statistics for every team each week. I have also always loved their annual yearbook/previews for all of the major sports, though they've gone down hill and been passed by Lindy's, Athlon, etc. in recent years.
