What-huh?

As it turns out, the CNN.com headline "Keeper Schwarzer can move say Boro" is about a soccer/football goaltender changing teams.

Not, as I originally thought, about Quidditch Keeper Bilius Schwarzer (Durmstrang '03) demanding a trade from the Middlesborough Magpies.

(You know, now that I think about it, I think the Harry Potter books actually reference a team called the Magpies, but they aren't from Middlesborough. Free box of Bertie Bott's to anyone who can confirm that for me.)

You will find a confirmation of the reference here on this website.
