Every day I receive an e-mail from The Washington Post with headlines and blurbs about the day's news. The one I received this morning had the following sports stories [links omitted]:
SPORTS
U-Md. Hangs Tough, Nets Confidence-Boosting Win
James Gist, above, scores 25 points and Greivis Vasquez scores 24 as Maryland nearly blows a 21-point second-half lead before dispatching Charlotte, 76-74, for a third-straight victory Saturday.
(By Marc Carig, The Washington Post)

These Statistics Do Not Lie: Georgetown Wins Ugly
The Hoyas Hold Rutgers to 31 Percent Shooting, but Give Up 43 Rebounds: Georgetown 58, Rutgers 46
(By Camille Powell, The Washington Post)

Patriots Rebound To Beat Towson
(By Steven Goff, The Washington Post)

Louisiana State's Miles Balances Risk, Reward
Coach's Gutsy Decisions Have Propelled Tigers Into the BCS Championship Game
(By Eric Prisbell, The Washington Post)
Notice anything missing? No story there about the Redskins' meltdown in the game with Seattle yesterday. If I click on "more sports", that NFL game is the lead story. Odd that it wasn't in their distribution of stories, though.
