I started looking through the collection of 
"Top 10 most memorable meltdowns in sports" on 
MSN Canada Sports yesterday for its entertainment value, but quickly realized it was a goldmine for errors. The first page on show features John McEnroe. The writer was going for either 
but his two most famous lines or 
but two of his most famous lines, but he ended up with a mix of both. The 
or between the two quotes should be 
and, and if he 
influenced, then he 
helped build. Is John McEnroe really known as King? I can't find anything online about that. Click the images to enlarge them.

The name is correct as Roberto Alomar, but then becomes Alomor. The reference is to Watergate, so shouldn't it then be Spitgate?

The high stick knocked out 
a tooth and Roenick threw 
a water bottle. Did the ice hit the ref?  There is a lack of punctuation after 
horror flick.

The loss belongs to the Dallas Cowboys, so it's the Dallas Cowboys' loss.

Zinedine Zidane's name is correct in the photo caption, but in the blurb his first name gets changed to Zinadine and a sentence later his last name becomes Zindane.
