The easiest headline for this is
Petrino can't decide on which **** to use
Anyway, here's a snippet of the AP story. See if you can do better.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — Arkansas coach Bobby Petrino still isn't saying much about who the starting quarterback will be this weekend at Mississippi State.
Casey ****, the senior who has started all season, is still a candidate this week. But so is his younger brother, redshirt freshman Nathan ****.
 
Petrino's multiple-**** nightmare

or

No Viagra needed: Petrino to decide on two Dicks

or

Petrino can get the job done with both Dicks
 
When Casey **** signed with Arkansas, the sports editor of the Democrat-Gazette sent out a memo that ****'s last name would never be used in a headline. Not sure if that's still the case, but it was for a while.
