YANKEES PRESIDENT CALLS COMCAST ‘GUTLESS’Calling one of Comcast's acts gutless is not calling Comcast gutless.
DSLreports:“It’s a typical gutless act by a cable carrier seeking to promote its own self-interest,” Levine told the NY Daily News. “This amounts to nothing more than a money grab. Comcast, who said it had an agreement in principle with YES, is saving millions of dollars now by not airing YES in the offseason.”
This kind of sloppiness with the facts is inexcusable. I know it's not the most serious, scholarly blog in the first place, but that's no excuse for misquoting people. And it's a news site which gets access to some Apple press conference invites and review units of new products, so it should at least not post things which are blatantly, factually false.
The false Daring Fireball title is a truncated version of the linked article's title which has the same mistake. So DSL Reports also messed up too, but that's no excuse.
I contacted Daring Fireball about the error and will update this post if it's fixed or there's a response.

What does it mean for an act to be "gutless"?
