Mick Dagger, Gotta Be Skidding and Polar Power

[G-Fafif]

We got all the way to mid-August before Amed Rosario appeared front and center on a back page? Wasn't he the designated savior not that long ago? Better late than never.



Wanted to embrace one of those POLAR pages from KC, but obscuring the Bear's face is a major turnoff.



LET'S DO THIS is crazy tabloid homerism. I love it.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

The dueling POLAR EXPRESS pages, each with the exact same "Bear Down" subhed, would be a single strong contender were it for the other. Instead they look destined to cancel one another out, victims of their own too-predictable cleverness.



I wonder if the dueling hed writers communicate secretly as rivals, bluffing one another

[Lefty Specialist]

'Break A Leg' for Tejada is, well, cold.
