Sports writer Kevin Ding (pictured) heard familiar words when he tuned into ESPN Tuesday night -- words that he wrote for his Orange County Register column two days earlier. ESPN anchor Will Selva apologized Wednesday for lifting the opening paragraphs of Ding's Sunday preview of the Los Angeles Lakers' battle with the San Antonio Spurs for his report on ESPN's "Highlight Express" show.
"I made a horrible mistake and I'm deeply sorry," Selva said in a written statement. "I did not live up to my high standards or ESPN's."
The mistake happened when Selva pasted Ding's sentences into his script as background for his writing, he said.
