From the curious corrections department....

Lest anyone wonder what goes through an editor's mind on a late Saturday night deadline...

From today's NYT:

"Because of an editing error, a sports article in some copies on Sunday about the University of Alabama's 6-3 football victory over the University of Tennessee misstated the given name of a linebacker who is a leader of the Alabama defense. He is DeMeco Ryans, not Demerol."

All rightee then.

While we're at it, we've been meaning to run the following correction for a while: a previous post on the RJYH blog misstated the name of Alabama's head coach. It is Mike Shula, not God-I'm-dying-for-a-bourbon-and-water Shula.

Warren,
They should make you the sports editor of the NYT. Demerol Ryans?? Maybe they meant the players who DeMeco plowed to the ground need a good dose of Demerol. Let's hope Beer Croyle and Kind Bud Darby put a whoopin' on Utah State!!
