Actually, a story about a third-string center who almost never plays is a perfect fit for a third-string newspaper that almost no one ever reads. It’s practically their mission statement.
Inquiring minds want to know — Was he the long snapper? Would be “almost never” on the field only for a team whose offense was so good they hardly ever punted or tried field goals.
In all reality , You’re creeping me out Heather ,it was nice chatting with you but I view you as my rival .The paper has room for only one prep sportswriter and I’m it. Now run along Heather .
P1: “Uh, yeah right, Marjie. It really doesn’t matter because by the start of football season I’ll be the next Brenda Starr and you’ll be history. Now go home and get your effing shine box.”
P 4: “…I remember that story because the starters on the team were so mad that he got a feature story written about him, that he got viciously hazed for weeks by these guys and had to quit the team…”
At least Heather is wearing the same outfit for the last few days. She must of been sitting in the sun and it faded her red top and the stripe on her pants
Dammit, I was all excited about the return of Maureen and they didn’t even give her a line! All she did was carry out a couple of drinks and then, gone.
So now Heather is going to go back to her run, after having some pie and a couple of drinks? She better not be barfing anywhere near the high school, I’m not going to be happy if I have to clean that crap up. I’m still mad about that sloppy joe food poisoning fiasco from a couple of summers ago.
And speaking of mad, you’ll be mad if you forget to read today’s episode of Mopped Up Thorp.

It beats the article on the coach who only shows up for two games.

She’s only read three Marjie stories, but that one was her favorite.

Wasn’t there a “golf hustler” storyline in Gil Thorp several years ago…?
