That’s the misconceptions that people have, that Chuck Berry went to jail. They’re just totally wrong. It might have said something in the large papers in the bigger city headlines and things.

Going around the league, people know, ‘Oh, he got in some trouble‘ or ‘He didn’t play well his rookie year’ or ‘He’s a bust.’ That’s the headline. I’m going to have a million more opportunities to create new headlines, and I can’t wait. Can’t wait.

Some writers like to boil down headlines of liberal newspapers into fiction, so they say there shouldn’t be communal riots, everybody should love each other, there shouldn’t be boundaries or fundamentalism.

I get the headlines for being slick and different things like that – which is part of my game – but it’s just amazing to me that a lot of times, the people don’t see the other things that go on in that ring. But a lot of times, when my opponents figure it out, the fight is over. It’s too late.

Ironically, it is only when disaster strikes that the shuttle makes the headlines.

I like the story about me being pregnant. It was in some Australian magazine, on the front page! I was like, ‘Wow, that’s just [insane].’ And it’s not even ironic. I don’t even think the article [tried to justify it]; it was just a headline. The article was just like, nothing.

In Raleigh, partisan battles, power struggles and lawsuits might grab the headlines, but we have to work together where we can.

The A’s were a team with very few resources. We didn’t have access to players who were obviously great, who could do it all and were always in the headlines. We couldn’t afford those types of players. So we had to figure out a way of cobbling together players into a team that might be competitive.

‘Boldly going where hundreds have gone before’ does not make headlines.

Our neighborhood – this solar system, the cosmos, actually – is so much more vast and amazing than the paltry headlines, insanity, and politics crammed at us daily as so-called news.

Google and others truncate headlines at 70 characters. On the Manti Teo story, Deadspin’s scoop fell down the Google search results, overtaken by copycat stories with simpler headlines. Deadspin’s headline was 118 characters. Vital information – ‘hoax‘ – was one of the words that was cut off.

What a scandal, if I die. Yeah, I’m gonna kill myself, get a little headline news.
