Will Selva, an anchor at ESPN for three years, issued an apology Wednesday for taking all but of a few words from the lead of a column written by Kevin Ding of the Orange County Register, previewing Tuesday's game between the Los Angeles Lakers and the San Antonio Spurs.

Selva, who anchored the overnight "Highlight Express," which repeated through the morning, used Ding's sentences virtually verbatim to set up the game highlights. In a statement issued by ESPN, Selva said he had been researching stories from local newspapers, and came across Ding's column. Selva said he cut and pasted the story into his script, but forgot to write his own words.

"I made a horrible mistake and I'm deeply sorry. I did not live up to my high standards or ESPN's," Selva said in the statement. "I sincerely apologize for my sloppiness, especially to Kevin Ding, viewers and colleagues. In my 15 years in broadcast journalism, nothing like this has ever happened and I will make every effort to ensure it won't happen again."

I'm not sure the the local writers don't cook up some stuff with the help of the huddle every now and then.

We're like monkey's with typewriters and once in a while we do write some Shakespeare. I wouldn't be suprised if somebody took it.

What can I say? They find my posts very energetic and original.

Meh. Mistakes happen, I hope the guy doesn't lose his job for it. Anyone who has taken Psych 101 could tell you stuff like this is extremely common. You're brain absorbs data about your daily life on an unconscious level and it's completely possible that he was completely unaware of the plagiarism and thought that the idea was original. "Planting" words/objects unconsciously for recall later is a common experiment.

Dude, you fail so hard. An article written by a sports writer is a far cry from a definition for a logical term in a wikipedia article or another website.

Here, here's some more plagiarism for you:

Idiot: A person of low intelligence.

Go figure out what site I stole that from, and apply it how you think I mean it.

So, what month out of the year aren't you on ur period?

When Crispybangs finds a dealer, I suggest you get in touch with him. Take a joke.

      Chances against the Cowboys

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Yes. I went to those games instead of selling In 2018, it was hot  as hell and the Panthers had some ‘entertainment on the side of the stadium, like a street fair…I have never seen so many seriously obese people, men and women, in cowboy leggings and shirts   I swear, it was traumatic  I said to my friend with me ‘dear god, Cam. In the name of all that is holy, please win  this home game, if you never win another one, to shut these people up.   I stayed in a hotel sat and Sunday near stadium. Sweet Jesus  obnoxious …of course,when they lose,, there isn’t one sign of cowboys anything   worst fans ever,  they will be in Charlotte in force because even at the escalated price in Charlotte, , it was still cheaper than attending in Jerry ville

      Jags WRs have twice as many drops plus some as the next closest team.

      Very true about Pennington but I don’t think anyone traded a haul to move up in the draft to get him, that’s what gets me about young. I mean essentially we gave up cmc and moore, our two best offensive players, one of which is arguably one of the best in the league. Gave them up for a guy who hasn’t shown any reason for us to give up the haul to get him. It’s year three and we are seeing the same mistakes he was making year one game one.
