This past weekend was the Senior Bowl, which I didn’t get to watch because it was being played on the NFL network. Anyway, Troy Smith was the starting quarterback for the North, and depending on the news source you read, had either a good game or a bad game.
Both ESPN and CSTV ran the same AP article, but used completely different headlines. After reading the article, I take away that Troy had a decent game for the type of situation he had to play in.
ESPN - Smith outduels Leak, leads North to Senior Bowl win
CSTV - Smith Struggles Again , North Blanks South in Senior Bowl
Here are a few other headlines for the same AP Article.
Yahoo Sports -OSU’s Smith outplays Leak in Senior Bowl
SI.com - Role Reversal: Smith, North get best of Leak, South in Senior Bowl
FoxSports - Smith wins rematch of national title QBs
After reading those it seems there is only one that is trying to portray a different story than the others. I wonder if the AP tracks what headlines are used for their articles. It’d be interesting to see.
