Job Opening: Copy Editor

Clearly after reading this Pete Prisco blog on CBSSports.com, it's painfully obvious the website is in dire need of a copy editor.

How many typos/grammatical errors can you find in this blog entry? I found six.

***I coped and pasted this from the website.

Receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh went on the defensive recently agianst the tide of negative thinking against him as a perpective free agent.

Houshmandzadeh told Benals.com that he would show all the doubters that he was a much better player than many expected. He aslo said he was 31, but had a body of a 27-year-old.

I am one of those doubters. The Seahawks are not.

Seattle signed Houshmandzadeh to a five-year, $40 million deal with $15 million in guaranteed money. That's No. 1 receiver money, and thus lies the problem.

Can you No. 1 receiver be a guy who averaged 9.8 yards per catch last season? I think not. Seattle paid a lot of money for a No. 2 receiver.

Sorry, T.J. That's what you are.

That's why I still think the Seahawks will take a close look at Texas Tech receiver Michael Crabtree in the first round of the draft with the fourth overall pick. He would be the No. 1 and Houshmandzadeh the No. 2.

The Seahawks better hope this isn't a case of a second receiver on one team not living up to the hype on another. We've seen that before from the likes of Alvin Harper and others.

The truth hurts players. That's why T.J. went on the defensive. At least now he can do it with a fat paycheck.
