Updating a report we passed along last week. The Pittsburgh Steelers will get only a 7th round pick from the Ross Cockrell trade, not a 6th. Steelers.com (http://steelers.com/)’s Bob Labriola, who said it was a 6th last week, tweeted this morning that was incorrect.

Hey, look another reporter that flubs the fundamentals of their job! But, they got on Twitter first!

But, they got on Twitter first!

This!!!

It is no longer about who is correct; it is all about who was “first”.

Then, when they are wrong, they send out a tweet that simp,y says “My bad.” Ian Rapoport and Jason La Canfora are the epitome of this. And, honestly, for a while there, even Adam Schefter was falling into the “first is better” trap.

Remember when Schefter mistakenly tweeted out that Clay Matthews won the DPOY in 2010 when Troy won it.

Still a pick, still a player, difference between a 7th and a 6th is not much. Of course Pittsburgh sports journalists have been wrong so many times, this doesn't even surprise me anymore. Remember when Pittsburgh sports journalists said, Shazier suffered the same injury Tommy Maddox did and Maddox only missed 1 week from that injury?
