There are myriad problems with sports journalism, but what you are complaining about in particular is not really a huge problem and not limited to sports journalism. These scoops are put out on insider info which may not always be 100% up-to-date or correct. This happens all the time in journalism. See: Rove's lawyer Luskin repeatedly lying to the media as "a lawyer who has been briefed on the case."
I mean, if you want to bitch about a premature bad call, how about Fox News calling Florida for Bush in 2000 WAY before they had any right to?
