Needless to say, sports headline writers across the nation are VERY pleased that the NFL lifted their efforts to ban/regulate the usage of New Orleans' signature "Who dat?" phrase. Where is the creativity, fellas?
Can we get a "What A Brees..." or a "Oh Man-ning!!!" or something? We're a little short on snappiness and token puns this morning, headline writers. That's on you.

And....
A very special "Headliner's Ball" shout-out to Yahoo! Sports for bucking the trend and going with something a little more creative and way snappier. If there are no New Orleans merchandise owners rushing delivery on customized t-shirts with this headline, they're missing one heck of a business proposition.

Thanks. I settled on that because I couldn't think of a decent pun that hadn't already been used. Putting the word "Hell" in 100-point type was strangely therapeutic, though.

Kudos for avoiding the temptation of going with an obvious pun Ernest.

I work for a paper in Mississippi and got to write our headline this morning. I went with "Hell froze over"

"Oh Sweet Breesus"

I just found out yesterday that they call Drew Brees "Breesus" in NO. That's pretty funny and should have been mixed in a bit.
Fresh Jive, February 8, 2010 11:02 AM
Agreed.

"Lombardi Gras" is awesome.
Mike Witt
Unsure if the team would put a winning product on the field at the start of the '86 season, the Angels' front office mandated that Mike Witt pitch on stilts for the opening month to give the team a more circus-like atmosphere.
