Tyler and I have an occasional game where we try to guess the pun- or rhyme-based headlines that will arise from various sporting events. Today, as you may know, Big Brown not only didn't win the Triple Crown, he finished last in the Belmont's nine-horse field. Immediately my mind went to possible headlines on ESPN.com and the like:
"No Crown for Brown"
"Brown Goes Down"
"No Browning Achievement"
"Down Goes Brown"
"Brown and Out"
"Brown for the Count"
"Brown-Out at Belmont"
"Tears of a Brown"
"Big Brown Not Even #2 at Belmont"
And then there was Alma's suggestion:
"What's big and brown and smells like failure?"
EDIT: Oh man, you guys. So I posted this at 10 pm; at the time, the headline on ESPN.com was the non-pun-or-rhyme-based "Not So Fast..." As of this edit, the headline is "Brown and Out." Screen-cap proof here. I better see a royalty check in my mailbox soon, ESPN.
Stick to baseball, 11/23/24.

Nothing new from me beyond the dish this week. I’ll write up big
transactions when they happen, and I should have a board game review up
next week, althoug...
