Another one, years ago when Tony Peters was a defensive back for the Redskins:


Washington must play with Peters out


All-male shop back then, and you know those boys did it on purpose.

And, the aforementioned:

The only headline made into a movie?

And once we ran this ad, 72-point type:

Brave(s) New World every time something happens to the Braves.
