Questionable Headline of the Night

From ESPN.com:

"Flyers stun Devils as Boucher outduels Brodeur"

Granted, the Flyers are seeded lower than the Devils in their playoff series, of which this was Game 1. Still, the Flyers beat the Devils five times in six tries during the regular season. If something "stuns" you the sixth time out of seven possible times that it happens, you need a sharper response system.

Not really the same category--odd, rather than bad--but I loved this headline on the MLB TV ticker the other night: "Moyer renders age meaningless."

I love this!

"If something 'stuns' you the sixth time out of seven possible times that it happens, you need a sharper response system."

(and/or a less crippling sense of skepticism about inductive inference)
