    Owning up would infer she did something wrong, which she didn't. Unless you consider holding people's feet to the fire and doing her job as a wrong.

      "Owning up" actually just infers that she takes ownership of her comments, that she didn't say it was take out of context our some other such dodge that people use.

Bad Information on NFL Injuries

... I think it has more to do with something ESPN's ombudsman said to Awful Announcing this week: ESPN is desperate to break news and be first, and that's hard to do without relying on information that in the past would have been brushed off as "just a rumor." I don't have a problem with passing along rumors as long as they're clearly labeled as such, but I do think injuries are complicated, and ESPN and other media outlets would be wise to run their reporting by an expert in sports medicine before going on the air with them.
