So, I went to the tampatribune.com website today for some local feel good news:

Tribune Apologizes For Incorrect Editorial

Published: Jun 8, 2004

Dear Readers,
We took a puck in the gut this morning when we published the wrong editorial about the Tampa Bay Lightning, who won the Stanley Cup final on Monday night.

We apologize to the team and to the fans for our terrible error. And we apologize to our colleagues at the newspaper, who got it right in every other way.

In advance of the final, we had prepared two editorials, one for either outcome. When we saw that the Lightning had won, we placed the proper editorial on the computerized page, printed it out and eliminated the other version. Still, somehow, the other version appeared on the page. We are checking our systems to ensure we learn from our mistake.

It is so important to us to get it right. And today we failed you. We extend our heartfelt apologies.

I don't think the newspaper fucked it up. I thought it was just the website.

I'll be damned. Well, I'm in Boca Grande right now and I'm sure there is a Tribune around somewhere. I'll head out to get one. Jamie, hit me up. I have some business I want to discuss with you.
