WTFO??? We all know the mothership has the east coast bias going on, but wouldn't you think their technical editor would have a grasp on grade school geometry?

It looks even worse than just ignorance of geometry: they gave Wisconsin Minnesota's shape. The horror...the horror.

ESPN is stupid, the sky is blue, water is wet, etc.

Still showing a picture of MN and calling it Wisconsin calls for a BJ Raji body slam for all those involved.

Give them a break. They are in unfamiliar territory when they try to cover more than the east and west coasts.

OOPS! Yes I meant geography. First time tried to post it I typed that, but forgot about the / in front of the IMG (so i deleted the post). After figuring it out, I went on typing auto pilot while trying to listen to a co-worker. If somehow geometry has a double meaning, then I meant to do that all the time!

i don't get what the hell that is?

its not wisconsin, its not wisconsin + the UP

did someone's kid just draw a shape and they called it wisconsin?

there is no way you can make wisconsin into that shape.

you would have to fill in the green bay, cut off part of door county, sink milwaukee kenosha and racine in lake michigan. fill in lake superior quite a ways out. add areas of the southern and central parts of the UP, and lop off a good chunk of western wisconsin and give it to queensland.

the only part that's even close to being right is the straight southern edge

It looks like Vermont (or is it New Hampshire? I can never remember which is which).

That outline looks more like freakin' Vermont than any other state. That's what you get when the let the intern run the graphics department for SportsCenter.
