Parcells retires, AP publishes first draft

Bill Parcells retired from coaching today. I'm surprised he lasted a whole season with Terrell Owens, who should be the next to go. Looks like the Associated Press was in a rush to be first with the story, as they included the following two paragraphs:

Parcells won two Super Bowls with the Giants. He came to Dallas four seasons ago energized by the challenge of restoring glory to "America's Team." He went 34-32 and definitely left the Cowboys better than he found them, but his tenure ultimately may be remembered for the lack of a playoff victory.

How about a little proofreading before you press the Publish button?

Some of the fault lies with CNNSi, who published the story as-is. ESPN and SFGate edited the AP text so the duplication isn't there.
