'Drunk intern': CNN mixes up Cardinals logos in graphic of NFL teams

It was just a bit ago that CNN demonstrated that math is hard by displaying a graphic showing the “yes” vote for Scottish independence edging out “no” by a count of 58 percent to 52 percent. Now, CNN is showing that sports can be difficult to keep straight as well.

The bat in the logo would seem to suggest that, yes. St. Louis Cardinals, Arizona Cardinals — what’s the difference?

@jeffpearlman @Sniff009 After seeing his performance on Jeopardy, I'm 100% certain Wolf Blitzer is now creating graphics for CNN.

@jeffpearlman It's like they don't even care about being accurate. I mean, seriously. The Vikings haven't used that logo since 2012.

The logo might not even be the most egregious error in the graphic, according to some.

What's worse, the logo or calling him a "star"?
