The best headline ever

[tapintoamerica]

I remain partial to one I once saw in the now-deceased Fort Worth Evening Star-Telegram: "Mummified man found in house."

Tony Peters was a defensive back for the Browns and the Redskins from 1975 to 1985.

One year the good ol' boys at my local paper
ran this headline over that day's NFL roundup:

Washington Must Play with Peters Out

There was some headline involving Houston Nutt and quarterback Casey deck at Arkansas at some point over a decade ago that caused some mirth.

Minnesota defeated the Lakers in an exhibition game in the British capital once.

"Casillas Plugs Lett's Hole" made it into an Arkansas sports section back in the day. Same paper at about the same time had this lead headline for a hurricane story: "Fran's Furry Felt."

One of the best I ever wrote involved a crosstown rivalry baseball game where a player named Byrd had about 30 points.

"Mugwumps give Comets the Byrd"

Of course some parent from the losing team complained to our wussy managing editor and I got called in his office and lectured to.

Hope you let it go in one ear, out the other. My "lecture" came after a feature about all the banging and beating at Martinsville that got a headline of "Virginia is for rubbers."

That lasted for about 30 minutes on the NASCAR website -- long enough for all of us to get a screenshot -- until PR in Daytona Beach had a hissyfit and had the ME replace it.

Still can't beat the best Minnesota headline ever: "Fertile woman dies in Climax." Fertile and Climax are small towns in the Red River Valley, near Fargo/Moorhead.
