Hard to believe it has been that long, but I would imagine there are people who post here who don't even know about it. Time.
Found an interesting read on CNN.com that talks about the effects of the non-stop media coverage and how misinformation quickly propogated and became truth. I remember complaining in this very forum (or one with fireworks) about the media coverage at the time and how I thought it was unhealthy.
In any case, I think some of the themes of this piece can be applied to the sports world and especially the world of internet sports information. For instance, a whole lot of people who follow the NFL draft think that all 3 of USCs outstanding LBs tested positive for steroids because of a report on the internet that has proven to be completely false. But people remember the initial information and accept it as fact. Reminds me of Chris Drury's time here too....
Here's the story...well worth the read.
