First three entries for the 2023 Tabloid Cover Derby, coming in November to a theater near you.



I would probably have gone with JACOB dePARTS, but the unanimous choice is apparently deGONE!

This matters. How disappointing. Where was dePARTED!! ? How about deFECTION!! ? Can't we have a provocative deSERTED!! ?



Why do they never call me about these things? These are the moments when Tabloid Derbies are won and lost!

You could put the prefix cleverness aside and go right for the jugular.



Newsday:



  JAKE THE

  SNAKE!




Daily News:



  Mets Fans to deGrom:

  "ENJOY ALL

  THAT OIL $$

  PRETTY BOY!"




New York Post:



  Flushing Faithful Cry:

  "THERE

  WILL BE


  BLOOD!"


  When deGrom/Rangers Come

  To Citi Field August 28–30





It's almost like we've learned some time in the last four years that using the media for violence-mongering is a bad thing.

You're the back page editor for a New York tabloid. It's your job to write the headline as Jacob deGrom leaves the Mets and signs a kajillion-dollar deal with Texas.



Please carry on.

I think "Jake the Snake" with a photoshop of a Texas rattlesnake in a uniform is all you need.
