they might have said it, but the facebook ap is very good at finding and correcting errors. I'm sure it would have been corrected.

I did find out from facebook that the work "gullible" is kind of like the word "irregardless" -- it's not a real word and not in the dictionary.

Isn't everything on the internet factual? There must be some cyberspace super-editor that does all the fact checking? Maybe Al Gore? Right?

Is this us?
 
"A Facebook video clip of the foul, which was posted in the comments section of a Varsity Insider blog post, spurred a online debate. Tullar, who was grabbing a defensive rebound, was sent crashing to the floor on his backside after Tipson fouled Tullar from behind."


I mean, we're not mentioned by name or anything, but......we are debating!

Clear evidence that a flagrant foul is supported. IIRC, that team had other flagitious fouls during that game. At some point, you have to up the ante for these fouls.

Comments were closed on both articles.
