Deadspin has a later story on it. Another humiliation for the $300 Million team, Buesse & Morgan.
ReplyDeleteThe USA Today correction of its brief story on whether handicapper Danny Sheridan bought Twitter followers includes this:
ReplyDeleteSheridan "is not paid by USA Today Sports."
And that, dear readers, is the potential downside of cheap/free content -- a strategy USAT is pursuing full-tilt.
Cheap/free content --- remember the Cincinnati Enquirer's "Grandma in Iraq"?

Oh that Deadspin story is just the cat's meow. What a schmuck that guy sounds like, and the USA Today revelations are humiliating, indeed.
ReplyDeleteHa ha.
