Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

worst opening paragraph ever ...

in a chicago sun times story i just ran across online ... it starts like this --

Learning to golf is a spiritual journey, one to be undertaken with patience. That said, getting away from your normal routine and focusing on this relationship between the club, the ball and the course in another city leads to a better understanding of not only the process but of yourself.

ha ha ... gag me! is that terrible or what? i especially like tha beginning ...

Learning to golf is a spiritual journey, one to be undertaken with patience. That said

yes, "that said" ha ha

that's pretty bad
There is an annual prize given for the worst opening lines and paragraphs in novels for that year.  Maybe we need to have one for "journalists".

Nah - the list of entries would be too many to weed through.

Good newspaper writers are getting harder and harder to find.

"this ball will fit in that fairway"
