Six Words on the Cubs
Friend of HJE, participant in the landmark HJE Round Table, and current editor of ESPN: The Magazine, Chris Sprow, has brought to my attention a contest great opportunity to win prizes while showing off your creative talents simply by writing your PG-13, six-word take on the Cubs. You need to get them in by MONDAY MORNING. Get cracking on gems like:
- Dempster is good? Who’d have guessed?
- Can Dusty manage the Cardinals next?
- Kicking dirt can invigorate a franchise.
Or, you guys could go with something not stupid. Have at it.
