This Pisses Me Off

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the declining newspaper industry. Without getting into the reasons behind it too much, we'll just assume it's because their websites suck and move on with it.

Here's exhibit A:



That's a screen grab from the Red Star's sport's page following the spring game. First let's look at the picture. See the FieldTurf? Does that look like the real turf field O'Shaughnessy field has? What about the background, looks like it's indoors right? The field turf and indoor apsects seem to remind of a stadium our team recently inhabited. Interesting, because the Gophers played their spring game at St. Thomas this year, outdoors.

Now let's focus on the caption. Ok, there's tailback Ralph Spry taking a carry. Ordinary enough right? Well, let's consider first that Ralph Spry plays wideout, not tailback. Hmph. Further, it seems that Ralph Spry was actually kicked off the team last year, and has been living in Alabama, retired from football since. Well Star Tribune, you certainly have an interesting take on how the Spring Game this year went down.
