Fantastic headline in the Plain Dealer today...

http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/plaindealer/index.ssf?/base/sports/1169546235103940.xml&coll=2

"Cavs take one in the grill"

It was accompanied by Larry Hughes getting elbowed by Tony Battie, but still...

No word yet on whether Dwight Howard finished on any of the Cavs' girls.

 

Dammit. I could work at the Plain Dealer!

 

Get in line, moonie.

 

No word from martygit yet, I see. ...

 

Is someone going to send them an email reminding them that it is spelled "grille" when used in conjunction with "finishing on," per SportsJournalists.com style.

We just think it classes up the joint.

 

I would more focus on how bad the headline is, but I could certainly include that if you wish, sir.

 

Thank you kindly.

 

[westcoastvol]I'm westcoastvol, and I approved this headline[/westcoastvol]

 

There was one in the Detroit Free Press Sunday reading:

B-R-R-R-EAT!

I read the headline about six times trying to figure it out. I asked my dad and sister to read it, and they were both dumbfounded.

After reading the story, there was one paragraph mentioning how cold the weather was at Tiger-fest at Comerica Park.

I assume the headline was a play on the headline that ran when when Kirk Gibson hit the clutch homer in the World Series in 1984. G-R-R-R-EAT!

But there was no subhead to explain B-R-R-R-EAT! to the reader. Maybe I'm stupid (and that's a strong possibility) but that headline made little sense.

 

B-R-R-R-EAT!

Sounds like they were trying to spell out what flatulence sounds like.
