Battle Of The Big Sandy
Just saw a preview issue of the Messenger and they stole some of my schtick! Well, maybe. Five years ago I did a Bridgeport/Decatur comparison with the lead of each entry being "Best [insert category]". Tomorrow's Messenger does the same thing with some equally crazy and even identical categories. (Them: "Toughest Cheerleaders". Me: "Cheerleading Squad Most Likely to Engage in Fist Fight".)
I still think mine was funnier. Again, maybe.
But looking back over my old comparison, I'm stunned how much things have changed. And I think I brought bad karma on Bridgeport since they haven't won since.
(And why the above pic? Not sure myself. I searched Google Images for Decatur and Bridgeport and that came up on the first page.)
