Some very good ones today

As a longtime advocate for Newsday to outline their big white letters, I have to give a thumbs down to their blue-and-orange outline on BIG FLIES.



I salute them for trying a flanking maneuver, and this may look great when they wrap Jets-based headlines in green and white or green and black, and Giants in blue and red, but ... I'm calling this a noble failure. It's sort of overbranded and underbranded at the same time, and feels like I'm pulling some cheap canned beans off the bottom shelf in the supermarket.



I may feel a little different it didn't clash so harshly with the red Newsday banner up top and red Budweiser sign below.

glove-gate the only event worthy enough to be back-paged by 3 papers

[Edgy MD]

It was pretty worth it, too.



If the netting wasn't there, this would have just been a side-story — an offhand, somewhat petulant and wasteful gesture by a frustrated athlete reduced to a moment of childishness. But the effort and mindfulness it takes to toss it over a 20-foot barrier, with the half-smiling aplomb that suggested he was fully in control when he made that choice, kind of made this a heckuva story built around a pretty marginal figure.



The only paper that went with a shot of him actually in the act opts not to come up with a clever summary headline, and instead uses his (disputed) quote, so that's disappointing. The quote would work better in a sub-head.

[Edgy MD]

Lost headline opportunities.
