Super Bowl headlines

London Times, Independent or Guardian:

Bears Take Colts to Knacker's

 

If Indy blows a big lead:

Colts become unglued, glue

 

Our shop, which dug deep into the well for our horribly bad headline on the Saints victory over Philadelphia, went deeper today:

Peyton's Place?

I'll bet nobody else thought of that one.

 

Should be a mandatory no-use.

 

Grin and Bear it

Manning of the Hour

 

That's what I said.

The story is about him trying to find his place in NFL history by playing a Super Bowl against a tough Bears defense, and it describes the matchup. My suggestion, which was laughed off:

Manning Up


It's no award-winner, but I think it's better than the groaner we ran.

 

Peyton's Place would probably be part of a fine headline for that story; unfortunately, its overuse (and in inapporpriate heds, no less) kill it dead.

Galloping To His Destiny? Eh, fuck do I know, I can't even hack at a daily anymore, I'm afraid.

 

It does fit the story, yes. But as you say, it's been done to death.
