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.
