Bad typo / editing mistake in latest Danny Mackey / Sports Illustrated article

I kept reading and there are more. Please tell me what this paragraph means.

"The first few meets of the spring are finished, and overall, the Beasts had a solid showing. Athletes spend 95% of their time training and 5% of their time training, and I love both for different reasons."

Does anyone hear work in journalism? Does someone at Brooks or Sports Illustrated not read the piece before it goes live? How does that happen?

I didn't read the article so I do not know the context but based on that quote I think he is trying to say that even though it is early in the season he wants his athletes running with the leaders and meeting qualifying standards without putting in the speed work or resting up before a meet. If they can do that, then after doing the race specific speed work and peaking properly they will be in a better position to contend for top spots rather than just be there.

OK. Great work.

Go to your third paragraph. Go to your first sentence which says:

Does anyone hear work in journalism?

Now go ask rojo if he can see anything wrong with your sentence.

He works in journalism so he will be able to help you.

OK?

rojo will get write on it.

Well plaid.

Believe it or not, Weldon and I both won our elementary school spelling bees (different years). Well I won elementary and then won a cluster of four schools. Weldon won middle school.

I have no idea what they are trying to say in the first sentence. The second one I imagine is supposed to be "95% training, 5% racing" I assume.

I don't think it is a matter of sorting out what Danny is saying, you can get the gist of something-something there. The issue is more about the fact that the grammar is sideways at Sports Illustrated.

On occasion when I was still running, working full time, coaching two soccer teams and writing on the side (more like learning to write - plus other stuff: club newsletters, volunteering et al), I would on occasion poop the bed in a very similar style as this. It is a sign of either major rushing with no assigned editor or serious fatigue, writing with the engine turned off.

Your own stuff looks perfectly legible when you are impaired by massive fatigue.

I have been eaten alive a couple times for it - I learned to stop posting when I am VERY tired, although on occasion, I go back and cringe - one really needs an editor; a sober second thought.

So with all the money that Sports Illustrated apparently has from selling bikini issues, they should assign someone there....poor Danny, take a kip, pour some coffee and keep your head up.

Elementary school spelling bee winner? What has happened since then?

Headlines from a new day:

Goldie Sayers says should have celebrated Olympic bronze on the podium – instead she leanred of her medal while driving on a highway eight years later

Athletics Kenya has its headquarters put under police protection as they are fearful of another athlete revolt In November, it was taken over for two day “in protest at alleged corruption by officials and their failure to deal with the country’s doping problems.”

2004 Olympic hammer gold medallist Koji Murofushi, 41, will return for Rio after not competing in 2015

The Latest on Transgderism/Hyperandrogenism

I am too tired to go on for now.

What parallel dimension was the elementary school spelling bee competition located in?

1) We put stuff up when we do it. Then our night editor corrects mistakes.

2) Those aren't spelling errors - they are typo errors.

3) They've been corrected.

Really? Then the editor does not correct mistakes very well.

They have not all been corrected as of this present moment of now.

For example:

1) The Latest On Transgderism/Hyperandrogenism

2) Alan Abrahamson Says Russians Should Be Allowed To Compete Even If KSB Helped Them Dope We disagree. If the KSB allegations are proven, they have to be punished.

It is FSB not KSB. It was called the KGB in the past.

Go editor!

Had to cut back on proofreading to pay for the army of photo-editors to Photoshop their land whale bikini models.
