JOURNALISM IS HARD

From Profootballtalk.com, which generally kicks ass:

"Earlier on Monday, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported that Steelers cornerback Deshea Townsend and practice squad player Raymond Burgess were arrested over the weekend.

But we later learned that Burgess is not, and never has been, a member of the team. Instead, he's a bartender at the club where the fight occurred.

And, apparently, we're right. Because the Tribune-Review story has been revised, with no reference to the fact that it ever said that Burgess played for the Steelers."

Also, Townsend denies he was arrested. Only the best from our friends at the Tribune company. Go Cubs!

(FULL DISCLOSURE: The Chicago Cubs have been scamming you for decades with this lovable loser bullshit. They're not putting out a winning product because they know you will continue to show up to games and buy your $9 beers and $15 foam fingers and Michael Wuertz jerseys and $90 bleacher seats to their decrepit craphole stadium.)
