An "oops" from NBC's Ann Curry

Curry forgets to fact check her graduation address

We're pretty sure that the "Today" show fact-checks its news stories. The NBC morning show's news anchor, Ann Curry, could've used a little help in that department over the weekend.

Curry delivered a commencement address at Wheaton College in Massachussetts over the weekend, and she listed some of the school's famous alumni: Billy Graham, "60 Minutes" correspondent Lesley Stahl, film director Wes Craven and Todd Beamer, one of the heroes of United Flight 93 on 9/11. Standard graduation stuff, right?

Yeah, there was just one problem: Except for Stahl, all those people graduated from a different Wheaton College. In Illinois.

To her credit, Curry quickly apologized to the Massachussetts Wheaton in a letter.

Perhaps she could get the "Wolf Blitzer" award :lol:

Ahh graduation speech fugups.

At one of my graduations, Senator Dale Bumpers was the speaker. While he didn't confuse my school with another (he was way too busy ranting about politics and his fabulous life), he sounded like a confused, senile old man. A few of the more conservative students actually walked out.

Well, one's a evangelical school and one's a typical liberal arts school so there's a decent sized gap, but it's not the first time someone showed up to collect a paycheck at one of these things.

We just took hits off of pipes being passed around and slugs of whiskey during our commencement so if it were anything like C of C, I doubt anyone but the parents noticed.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
