    That's odd. I've sent some emails out about that. Someone at the SF AP desk is having a little fun -- and his/her ass is going to get fired.

    Let me clarify that I don't THINK whoever did it should be fired, but AP/other wire services are notoriously hardass over silly things like this. Pity. I wonder if it makes it until sunrise, I'm up finishing this column and will be keeping an eye on it ...

    though evidentally somebody out there doesn't think the legend will be living much longer.

    Certainly a warrantable, even a firable, offense. It needs to be saved for sportstalk radio, Sportscenter and similar silly locales.

    Yeah -- if you're going to purposely not do your job (the Sunday games weren't televised, not a lot of us knew Horry hurt his tummy), at least be funny with it.

    Then the AP needs to lighten up. It's sports. If you fire someone over a joke like this, you're taking sports journalism too seriously.

    Well, considering that Horry could sue if he cared...
