I've edited sports copy for decades, and in no way is listing peeves, no matter how correct the concepts behind them may or may not be, a way to coach better storytelling. And getting that out of sportswriters is always the goal, not restricting vocabulary.

A team losing a game is not a "disaster." Home runs are homers, not "dingers," "jacks" or "bombs." A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 "unanswered" points. If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it "never trailed" rather than…



I love getting to see this page again. I was on the H-D's sports desk then. This was the stadium extra edition that was printed around halftime and displayed right as time expired. That's why there's no score! Remember it, @sportsturtle11

It already had its hooks in me, but Marshall lost the 1995 I-AA national title game at home to Montana when I was 11 and it ripped my guts out. The next year the Herd came back with Randy Moss, dark visors, striped socks and SMASHED Montana in the title game. It was over for me.

I have such great memories of my time working with Jerry and the group at The News. I both can't believe this 56-year streak is ending and that it lasted so long!

Congratulations, Jerry Green, from all of us at The @DetroitNews, on an incredible, historic run as the only reporter to cover every Super Bowl. detroitnews.com/story/sports/c…
