Another Factual Mistake, This By Gregg Rosenthal On NFL.com

This truly is shoddy reporting by Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com

He works for an entity, with the name NFL a part of it, half the name.

You would think he would have some knowledge of NFL history, apparently not!

Is it too much, Mr. Rosenthal that you know the NFL did not go to an 8 division format until 2001?!!

Thus, what I show below from Rosenthal’s column, is erroneous and I believe to be an egregious error, one illustrating his lack of knowledge, concerning NFL history.

“The Patriots have already clinched a bye for the seventh straight season, one of the most remarkable streaks in sports. (The next-longest streak of byes since the NFL went to an eight-division format: four, by the 1990s Cowboys and 49ers.)”

A link to Mr. Rosenthal’s story is below. Will it be corrected?!
