One of the savviest marketers in the world committing commercial hari-kari? Really?
Pretty fishy-- wouldn't you check that kind of thing out?
But nobody did-- the Sun, the Post and even our beloved Daily Record followed suit, dutifully reposting the story without a single phone call.
The Record's Liz Farmer even blamed Nike, "So what the heck took Nike so long to correct this error?"
We all know reporters are overworked and underpaid, but does the Record really believe that it's a corporation's job to spit the facts, and a paper's job to print them?
Way to go Michael McCarthy of USA Today, first to pick up the phone and call BS!

Another example of whyI hate our state legislature.
Here's how the rumor started:
"One of Vick's agents, Mike Principe, announced during the SBJ/SBD Relay Worldwide Sports Sponsorship Symposium here Wednesday that the newly-signed Eagles QB had signed a new deal with the Swoosh."
I think this is Vick's marketing guy...wonder if he still is after Wednesday???
Yep, a tough death penalty would stop the animals in Baltimore......
Yep.
