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.

Someone show this to Blackcatgrowl

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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
