    In the early '90s, I think maybe 1993 or 1994, the Jets went through a stretch of games where they couldn't get in the end zone, putting points on the board only with field goals. Their offense was struggling in part because of an injury to Johnny Johnson, I think it was. There was a wire story on that. My headline, which ran:

    Jets need healthy Johnson to score

    Haha I love it. Why can't I ever think of witty, semi-pornographic headlines like that?

    That's freaking funny. If it did run in the paper, you know many readers got a big chuckle out of it.

    I can't believe it wasn't a story about Paris Hilton.

    That's priceless. And what a gesture by Josh Johnson.

    I still think the best headline would be if/when Oregon State plays South Carolina.

    "Beavers blow Cocks away"
