This morning’s Virginian-Pilot Sports front featured a horrible error. We accidentally reversed the score of the Super Bowl.
We’re embarrassed, and we apologize to all our readers, especially Saints fans.

You rarely see a paper admit to making a “horrible” error. It’s horrible when you falsely accuse someone of something that damages their reputation, or confuse a victim with their killer or… well, the list goes on. Getting the score of the Super Bowl wrong is embarrassing — but it’s not horrible. A little perspective, please. Oh, and maybe ditch the sales pitch next time.
Thanks, Deann!
