The Philadelphia Eagles, like many sports franchises, have turned their team Web site into an online goldmine, sporting huge traffic and even attempting to "cover" the team in a journalistic fashion, employing a "reporter" (Dave Spadaro) who "breaks stories" that are presumably fed to him directly from the team.
Spadaro is perhaps best known for his semi-weekly sparring matches with the WIP morning show, where he shills non-stop for the team, while Cataldi and Co. constantly ascribe nefarious motives to the team's management. But the Eagles site made an embarrassing gaffe over the weekend- they "broke the story" about the Eagles' final training camp cuts, but somehow included several of the wrong players on the list.
Phil Sheridan has the story; I'm still wondering exactly how this happened.
Hilarious to see the Inquirer questioning the journalistic integrity and practices of anyone else. Pot, kettle, black.
