Miami Herald runs ad selling Heat ‘championship’ shirts..


And now, from the, “Dewey Defeats Truman” file, we give you: “Congratulations Miami!”

That’s how a near-full page newspaper ad read in Monday morning’s Miami Herald. In the mother of all mistakes — or should that be the “King James” of all mistakes? — somebody in the Herald’s composing department inadvertently slapped the wrong Macy’s advertisement in the newspaper, promoting Miami Heat “championship” T-shirts and hats being for sale at the department store.
-------
Then again, it’s not like most folks in South Florida haven’t been presumptuous about the Heat’s championship aspirations since LeBron James and Chris Bosh signed in free agency and joined Dwyane Wade. Their signings were celebrated at a news conference, complete with pyrotechnics. James, the guy with the, “Chosen 1″ tattoo across his back, himself promised eight championships.

Still waiting for the first. Maybe everybody can have a collector’s T-shirt as a consolation prize

Really weird. Hard to believe somebody could make a mistake like this. Maybe LeChoke is responsible..

2. It doesnt even make sense. If they had won, it would be on to Game 7

3. They sell ad space far in advance, maybe a week to 10 days...
back then they probably figured the Heat have won it all in 5 or 6...idiots.

4. Something is fishy here
Yes they would have sold ad space a few weeks ago - but a good editor would have seen this on Saturday or even Friday and told them to pull it. But then again this is the Miami Herald. I'm not sure if anyone works there on the weekend let alone during the week.

As a sports town, they are simply clueless.
