"News Articles" are inaccurate...
by Vikings_Fan @ 6/10/2026 1:02 pm
The News Articles are a nice enhancement to the MFN experience. They are entertaining to read, but unfortunately they are not very accurate. Both partial examples below are from the USFL / WFL League 2021 season playoffs, currently ongoing:


Gold Dominates Showboats 42-10 in Divisional Round with Balanced Attack and Ironclad Defense

Flex Yofish chipped in a rushing touchdown and 62 receiving yards, offering explosive versatility.

...in actuality, Flex Yofish is a WR who did not have a rushing attempt in the game.


Gold’s Balanced Attack and Tactical Adjustments Overpower SaberCats in Conference Championship

...and Stick Opshun’s rushing touchdown.

...in actuality, Stick Opshun is a WR who did not have a rushing attempt in the game.

USFL also...my team, New Jersey Generals have a stadium in Piscataway, NJ. AI kept calling my team Piscataway instead of New Jersey.

USFL / WFL, 2022 Preseason Game #2. Denver Gold vs. Shreveport Steamer

Quarterback Hale Merrie led the charge, completing 33 of 53 passes for 428 yards and two touchdowns. Despite tossing three interceptions, Merrie’s yardage was the highest of any quarterback on the field and demonstrated a willingness to push the ball downfield.

...Denver Gold QB Hale Merrie did NOT throw an interception in this game.

...he did demonstrate "...a willingness to push the ball downfield" because he is, well, "Hale Merrie."

Most "sports journalism" is ****, tbh, so seems realistic to me.

"“Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore they are known as Famine, Pestilence, Destruction and Death. These are only aliases. Their real names are Stuhldreher, Miller, Crowley and Layden. They formed the crest of the South Bend cyclone before which another fighting Army football team was swept over the precipice at the Polo Grounds yesterday afternoon as 55,000 spectators peered down on the bewildering panorama spread on the green plain below.”"

People need to put their phones down and pick up a newspaper once in a while :)

I doubt papers in Cardiff, Wales are going to cover it. Mostly due to our news coverage being utter dross.

All I got from that was about 5000 flowery words to say somebody played Army at Polo Grounds and there were 55k people there...

If I see the word "excoriated" in a published article again...
I dunno, prolly nothing.
Add being an editor to the list of jobs AI will do twice as poorly.
