A correction

So I wrote a post yesterday titled "Brian Westbrook out for the rest of camp" in which I quoted a reporter as asking Andy Reid whether Brian Westbrook would be back before the end of training camp.

A number of reporters were confused this morning as to exactly what was said, and it became clear that the actual question asked was not "Will he be back?" but "Do you know when he'll be back?" It is that question to which Reid answered, "No."

The two questions are very different, of course, and this morning Philly.com made a correction to the text that accompanied the video, and also corrected the title of the blog post. We don't want to be reporting false information, and we definitely don't want to stir up Eagles fans when it's not necessary.

Apologies.
