Need new beat writer that knows who's on offense and defense

Go to the panthers section on espn just past the title Newton leads late Carolina rally for 27-23 win over Seattle under  the box score. I'll just leave it right here.

Have you never made a mistake?

If you are talking about Cotch and stew being on the defensive box score, who do you think tackled Chancellor and Thomas on those 2 INT's? other than that, I don't see anything wrong unless they fixed it already.

Everyone makes mistakes. The difference is he's paid to be accurate. Calling Luke Kuechly a TE is just dumb. It is inexcusable to mistake Greg Olsen for Kuechly.

Ah, I was actually looking at the box score. Yeah, that's bad.

First problem: you're looking to ESPN for accurate and engaging journalism. In this day and age, there are tons of other (read better) options. Stay locked in to Black and Blue Review, get on Twitter, hell, the Huddle keeps me pretty informed (just gotta filter out the PantherUnited diatribes).

David Newton is around the panthers organization. He has talked with all of the players. For him to mistake Luke Kuechly for Greg Olsen is not only inexcusable but a fireable offense for a journalist. My family is in this job background. Trust me, if he was covering Dallas or one of the big market teams, he would be fired.

Absolutely agree. I got nothing else.

 

Oh, yes I do. The way to challenge the ESPN's of the world: stop RT'ing, clicking, reading, watching, responding with them/him. Without viewership (or in this case clicks and readers) there's no need for him or ESPN Panthers coverage.

You aren't paid to be accurate?

All I'm saying is give the man a break. You have no idea how busy he might be and he is just trying to blast quick updates out every chance he gets. He was most likely thinking about Luke when he wrote this.

Have you never called a girl by the wrong name before? ;)

Wow.  He made one simple typo.  David Newton is actually pretty good at covering the Panthers.  Making a typo is not a fireable offense.  Don't get your panties in such a wad next time.

David Newton makes these mistakes ALL THE TIME.

He is a joke. Plain and simple.

David Newton is terrible, amazing he still has a job. I am surprised anyone follows him to know what he says.
