The Chronicle Editorial LiveJournalists decided to tackle sports today.
The results were not very good.
Here’s the first error:
It has been a season for second guessing in Houston. In making defensive end Mario Williams their top draft choice, the Texans stepped over the best running back available, Reggie Bush of Southern Cal. When training camp came around, they found themselves without a proven rusher when injuries sidelined last year’s starter, Dominick Davis.
Err, that should have been Domanick Davis. Whoops!
Coach Kubiak’s decision to stick with former first round draft pick David Carr at quarterback has been increasingly questioned as Carr’s fumbles and inability to move the offense contributed to the team’s disappointing 4-8 record. Even though the Texans beat Oakland last week, Carr actually had minus passing yardage due to five sacks.
No, Carr actually had 32 yards passing last week. The team’s net passing yardage was -5 yards, because sack yardage is subtracted from total passing yardage to calculate that statistic in the NFL. Check the box score. The error by the Editorial LiveJournalists was a minor one, but it was still an error.
