NFL Power Rankings, Typos, and Clay Matthews

NFL Power Rankings: Packers Still Tops Among 2012 Playoffs Teams - SBNation.com. Shame on Joel Thorman for writing that the Green Bay Packers are the top team and that he expects the Giants will pull off the upset. Just put the Saints at the top of the power rankings if that's what you want! And the upset is not going to happen.

Packers stock sale features typo, delivery glitches | ProFootballTalk. Oops. I went and double-checked my certificate. No typos.

One on One with Clay Matthews. Why wasn't he offered a college scholarship? "I wish I could say that they messed up, but I just wasn't that good in high school."

On the stock sale typo...

I’m calling bs. They’ve been out since before Christmas. Surely. We’d have heard about it before. And not just from one source. And the picture they show doesn’t even have the watermark on it. But I can vouch for the delivery problems. I received mine shortly after Christmas, and it wasn’t even mine! No big deal though. Sent back the wrong one already and should be receiving it in the next couple days

I agree it looks a little fabricated.

I ordered mine right away and didn’t have any issues getting it, but I ordered one for my dad about a week later and it didn’t arrive until Christmas Eve. The to top it off, UPS delivered it to my neighbor’s house, but luckily he brought it over before we had to leave for my parent’s.

Not all of them have

I’m not saying it’s not fake, but they get mailed out in the order of date ordered. If you ordered it before Dec 16th, you got them before Christmas. I think right now they’re shipping out the ones that were ordered on or a little after Christmas.

Mine came today (Wednesday).

I ordered it on the 29th, and had it delivered to my work address to be sure I would be there when it came. :)

No typos.

"I went and double-checked my certificate."

Yes, but did you discount double-check it?

I really think that must be done each and every time you gaze upon the stock certificate. Even if you catch it out of the corner of your eye, there should be an immediate and involuntary title belt.

In other news,

Mike Florio is an asshole.

All is vanity.

The "typo" stock photo shows it's an obvious fake

If you look, you can see the top of Lambeau above the supposed typo – the dbag who PS’d it must’ve thought that the top of the stadium was a crest or something above the name, so he left it in when he erased the rest of the stadium.

Lots of haters in the comments section of the article, too – even one who spelled Rodgers’ first name “Erin” (hmm, Chrissy from DNB, maybe?)
