Dr. Mr. B
First of all, I'd like to thank you for your service to the country. I have great respect for everyone in our nation's military, particularly those on the front lines like Special Forces troops.
I read thru the thread you provided as well as some of the stories that are linked off from it. It certainly seems as though you are correct, and that Mr. Hall misrepresented himself and that part of his story to me. I always strive to maintain accuracy, but due to time constraints there are times when we have to take the subject of our profiles at their word. This seems to be a time I got burned as a result.
Unfortunately, the story was written in 2008 and I no longer work for NBC Sports, so I can not independently put in a correction. They have an email address to which you can address your concerns, and hopefully someone there will get back to you.
That address is:
nbcsportshelp@nbcuni.com
I hope that works, but if not, at least it seems as though you and many others are doing a good job of discrediting his claim. I apologize for the error.
Best regards,
Mike Chiappetta
