Did you notice the Eddie Johnson AP story by Brian Trusdell with the errant headline "MLS Rejects Record Offer for Beasley" I saw one instance of it last night and figured it was an error by some editor at a single newspaper. But apparently it went out over the wires with that title.

i found another thread that said that occurred a few times... i thought they had been corrected though

More nice editing, this time from the Dallas Morning News story on EJ:

You know Benfica, of course. They're in the country of Portuguese.

I've been to Portuguese once; the Portugals there were very friendly.
