Help me, journalist Huddlers...

Being in college, I am reminded at least 5 times at the beginning of every semester that plagiarism is a capital offense in the journalistic world. The following links are from FOX and CBS, entities I thought were diametrically opposed to one another:

http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/redskins-panthers-preview-111815

http://mweb.cbssports.com/nfl/gametracker/NFL_20151122_WAS@CAR/redskins-panthers-preview

The two links read exactly the same, word for word. To add insult to injury, there is patently false information in both articles. The claimed we beat the "previously undefeated Green Bay Packers". While I'm flattered by that, it removed all respect I had for the FOX article. This is how I discovered the CBS article. Can someone provide an explanation? Or is this truly an egregious copy-and-paste job?

If I didn't love reading about my Panthers so much, this might make me stop reading non-team-official articles.

The AP supplies generic articles to news outlets for their use to fill space.  Happens in the newspapers, too.  Check the byline of certain articles, for example, you'll see something like Steve Reed (Associated Press)... that's how you know it's a news service article that's been distributed to/purchased by several publications.

Now see I didn't know they did this. Thanks. 

I also feel like a jackass for making a big deal about it. Lol

    • Also, the fact we are comparing this one to the 10 preseason tells me we are in for another horrible year. 
    • Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.
    • Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins
