“Meet the Mess” might be the laziest and most repeated headline in the Derby.

I found six "Meet the Mess" covers, surprisingly only three of them in the TCD era. It does seem like a very common headline, but maybe this is one of those Nelson Mandela things.

Every tab has multiple "Meet the Mess" covers. What a disgrace. If I was in charge I'd ask that editor to step into my office.

The OMG - One More Game one is pretty clever.

I would guess there must be more than a few "Amazin' Mess" covers over the years.

I can't believe how close they came to blowing it that last week of the season. After all that, imagine if we missed the playoffs.

"CRY OF THE STORM"? "THAT'S BREWTAL"?
This slate of candidates has some of the most hamfisted attempts at punning in this contest's history. It's like none of the editors got their staff in shape for September and the post-season at all.
But the worst of the worst has to be "SAME FOLD STORY"? Good God. That and Newsday's color printing process that continually makes African-heritage players look like they are made out of clay or terra cotta makes me want to take back awards they've won in the past.
Also note how badly they screwed up the Jets headline at the bottom of the "ONE GETS IT DONE" page, putting a space after the ampersand, but not before. That's where we should talk about brutal.
