Is there a copy editor at the DAILY NEWS? The Jake LaMotta obit says...

Here's a paragraph from the NY DAILY NEWS online obit for fighter Jake LaMotta.

LaMotta's match "had to be called off." Just because Cerdan died in a plane crash? Sort of a feeble excuse, ya think? "Jake, we were thinking of letting the fight go on, because some of us believe in zombies. But...well, he PROBABLY had every bone in his body broken. It might be tough to transport him. I guess we'll just HAVE to call this one off...I know it's kind of a feeble excuse..."
