These are the perils of the Internet unfortunately, but someone's head at the Washington Post is sure to roll (or at least not feel too good) after this gaffe. Legendary UCLA coach John Wooden is gravely ill in the hospital but still had not died as of the posting of this link. Sometimes overzealousness gets the best of anyone, but there's no erasing the mistake now. Google search continues to pick it up for all to see.

When you click on the link, it has the following disclaimer: "This gallery was incorrectly published with a headline saying that John Wooden had died. He is in the hospital, according to several published reports. A look at the legendary UCLA men's basketball coach."

The bigger story, of course, is that it does appear the Wizard of Westwood could be on his last breaths -- a development that is sure to sadden everyone in the sports world and beyond.
