    That fit with all the rookies the Braves had last year - good headline in that case.

    Otherwise, yeah ... kinda overused.

    Pretty much anything that plays off the team mascot. EAGLES SOAR, or LIONS ROAR, for instance. Also, anything that uses "lurking" to describe Tiger Woods when he's trailing the pack. It's unreal how many stories and headlines use it. (I just did a yahoo search for Tiger Woods lurking and there's 567,000 hits.)

    If you have a player named Bacon who has a good game, please do not let him sizzle in a headline.

    I see nothing wrong with that headline if the horse happens to be racing people ... in cars.
