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.)

im thinking their sports guy wasnt here 5 or 6 years ago, so that is a coincidence. i liked it, though.

so i just got my messenger and i noticed on the front page that barry green has blue balls. nice, very nice BG!

haha, i just read it. it's pretty good stuff. i like the part about rottner.
i di wonder about two things - why is there nascar crap in the front section of the paper and what is up with "messenger jr." that looks like something from the chico texas. ack! skip leaves and the paper takes a step back like our other low-budget papers in the county.
