MSNBC 6/1/7

"Cavaliers’ defeat over Detroit"

Hmm. The Cavaliers apparently posses the verb defeat.

They win.

I agree, it a confusing headline.

CNN is just about as bad. I'll never forget "Bush calls for end to cartoon violence." It was a story about Bush calling for an end to the violence in the Middle East sparked by Danish cartoons making fun of Muhammed. For a brief moment, I thought he was commenting on Itchy and Scratchy :wink:
