Moronic crap that somehow makes it past an editor and onto ESPN.com

Two headlines down
Today, we start a new feature called "Moronic crap that somehow makes it past an editor and onto ESPN.com." We initially wanted to do "Moronic crap that somehow makes it past a production executive and on to ESPN," but we soon realized that would be virtually everything that makes it to air, save actual games.

Today's winner: "Manning walks around field at Colts practice." A 91-year old woman with osteoporosis and late-onset diabetes might be able to walk around a practice field. We're guessing, however, she couldn't play quarterback effectively in an NFL game.

Likewise, Manning's ability to actually walk around a practice field, while a stunning accomplishment for professional athlete, probably doesn't portend anything significant about whether he'll return to the field any time soon.

ESPN thought otherwise apparently.
