What’s the Score?

I don’t want to become a style-and-grammar cop, exposing the media’s gaffs and misdemeanors. For one thing, I’m only a hobbyist without credentials. For another, you could find some giggle-worthy goofs in my own posts with very little effort. However, a case could be made that we bloggers are ex officio members of “The Media.” Aren’t we obliged to police our own?

Hence this: During the halftime of this afternoon’s Villanova v. Syracuse basketball game, the CBS Sports team discussed the prospects of teams close to assuring themselves a berth in the approaching NCAA tournament. A sportscaster identified several such teams. Much, he said, hangs on their performance during the remaining regular-season games and regional championships that follow. He added:

“Will they lose some games? Sure…but to teams capable of beating them.”

Duh.
