Hockey's "Doc" Swats, Slaps, Nubs and Drubs the Competition

This week's column: a repurposing of my tribute to Devils TV announcer Mike Emrick. With another crappy headline written by someone without any flair for the task and (apparently) the inability to take my suggestions without feeling slighted.

We gotta stop this guy!

Why didn't he just make the headline:
"Journalist writes article about hockey announcer"

Isn't creativity a basic requirement of the job? This guy's clearly given up.

Can we start a petition or something?

You can send a letter to the editor: letters@thnt.com

Letters to the editor should be brief, signed and include the writer's home phone number for verification purposes. Letters emailed to the newspaper should also include the above information. Letters of 250 words or fewer have the best chance of being published in the shortest period of time. The Home News Tribune reserves the right to edit all letters for length, accuracy and clarity.

Of course, it also helps to be from Middlesex County or (wink, wink) use a non-specific cell phone number with your submission.
