Gotta laugh about it

Posted by Matt Porter, Globe Correspondent July 31, 2008 06:45 PM

When big news breaks, it's always a struggle to try to put together the details. In the frenzy, someone's bound to make a mistake. It happens.

The news that Manny Ramirez has been traded to the Dodgers is currently being picked up by media outlets around the world. The funniest breaking news tease seen thus far: CNBC's "Breaking News" box that said the following:

SI: Manny Ramirez to Dodgers for Jon Heyman

Jon Heyman, of course, isn't coming to the Red Sox. He is a SI.com reporter who reported the story soon after the trade happened.

  1. I can't believe what i'm hearing from the nation. this guy is a ingrate!!! a spoiled athelete that thinks he's bigger than the team or the sport. Manny wasn't this TEAM> YOU HEAR ME. TEAM...TEAM...TEAM... I'm so relieved this punk is gone and I thank management for making the right decision. 100mm for 4 years Boris will have to get on his knees for that to happen.

    Red Sox vs Angels. ALCS lets see what happens.
