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.

      Who do you despise more… LaMelo Ball or Bryce Young

      By Lurk21 · Posted

      Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west.

      Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.

      It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
