It might be time to break out the atlas over at FoxSports.com.
On Monday afternoon, a huge headline for a story about Hamid Soryan's gold medal in Greco-Roman wrestling screamed "IT'S IN THE BAGHDAD!"
The play on words would actually have worked well -- if Soryan were actually from Iraq. But he's from Iran, and Baghdad is, of course, in Iraq.
