    Imagine you're Floyd Reese, Tannenbaum or the Saints GM and you go to MSN and see thew following headline:

    "USC quarterback arrested"

    Then you click the link and see...

    Poor journalistic integrity, IMHO.

    I know no one cares, but Mark Sanchez is a moron for putting himself in that situation. I'm not saying he did anything, because there are a lot of cases like this that amount to nothing, but he just has to be smarter now that he's in the limelight. Probably would have taken over the SC offense, now who knows.

    If it was Leinart then they would say Leinart not USC QB.

    I hate to tell you guys this, but "journalistic integrity" is second to "selling newspapers." This is not something that might be frowned upon, nor is it unethical. It's the whole "man bites dog" mantra of headline editing. People clicking on that link just made that paper a ton of money. Great job by the editor.
