Lori Nickel article - count the errors!

Sorry Patler, Googled to check it and it's seems jsonline's been spelling it wrong for years as well as a number of other folks. Try it, there's a long list.

I have at least 6 more errors or omissions from the article and the accompanying chart, concerning the acquisition or loss of players.

I've only seen it spelled Cletidus. NFL.com even has it as Cletidus on their 1999 draft page.

So which is correct? Were the Packer yearbooks wrong? I have no idea myself?

His NFL Player Card and all that has Cletidus, but check this out.

I still don't get your point. There are 755 "hits" for Cleditus Hunt, but 34,000 "hits" for Cletidus Hunt.

Anyone an email buddy of Mr. Hunts?
We HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

My point is that Cletidus is the correct spelling and that I shouldn't use google to check these things.

That's OK, I once saw it spelled something like "Cledius" in an article, because that is the way most have pronounced it!

I know I'm not the perfect editor, but how does THAT get through editing at a major newspaper.

[Patler]

Good question. And as I wrote above, I still have at least six more "mistakes" in the Nickel article that no one has yet mentioned. Each of these jumped out at me as I read the article the first time, with no study or re-reading of the article. There may be even more than that.

I'll start with the most obvious, (there are others):

"Wolf has seven draft picks still kicking around Lombardi Ave.: Brett Favre,..."

Wolf didn't draft Favre, he traded for him!

The article says:

Wolf has six draft picks still kicking around Lombardi Ave.: William Henderson, Mark Tauscher, Chad Clifton, Donald Driver, Bubba Franks and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, and two Wolf trades in Brett Favre and Ahman Green and free agent Rob Davis.

[BallHawk]

Ahmad Carroll was drafted in 2004, not 2001.

[BallHawk]

JT O'Sullivan was acquired in the McKenzie trade, not FA.

[BF4MVP]

Ahman Green wasn't a free agent pickup......he was traded to the Packers I believe.....

Wolf has six draft picks still kicking around Lombardi Ave.: William Henderson, Mark Tauscher, Chad Clifton, Donald Driver, Bubba Franks and Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, and two Wolf trades in Brett Favre and Ahman Green and free agent Rob Davis.

[BallHawk]

R-Kal Truluck was acquired through a trade with the Chiefs, not Free Agency.

A 5th and a 6th was given for R-Kal, I might add. What the fuck was Sherman thinking?
