Please.
 
I just ate breakfast. 
 
I'm cuddled up in my favorite easy gliding easy chair with my laptop with separate wireless mouse and keyboard reading the GatorNews, and the first thing I find out is:  "Vomit dripping from his chin strap, Florida receiver Riley Cooper stared an overmatched Charleston Southern cornerback in the eyes Saturday night and then sprinted straight for him."

 

"Vomit dripping from his chin strap,..."  Please give me a break.  Stretch for an interesting metaphor, try enuendo, make a suggestive remark, but please don't say 'vomit' as the first word in any sentence.

 

Jeesh!

 

Particularly not in a morning newspaper.

 

BTW, Helen might help on this, are there any afternoon papers left?  I doubt if there are.  Many  of the morning papers are having trouble.  The monopolization of American enterprise continues.

 

Anyway, 'vomit' is not the first word I want to read in anything.

 

'Nuff said.

Florida Gators' Riley Cooper paving the way for success

 

Florida wide receiver Riley Cooper (11) runs for yardage after catching a pass as he is chased by Charleston Southern cornerback Chris Kuzdale (24) during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Gainesville, Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009.

Florida wide receiver Riley Cooper (11) runs for yardage after catching a pass as he is chased by Charleston Southern cornerback Chris Kuzdale (24) during the first half of an NCAA college football game in Gainesville, Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009.

Vomit dripping from his chin strap, Florida receiver Riley Cooper stared an overmatched Charleston Southern cornerback in the eyes Saturday night and then sprinted straight for him.

Cooper faked to the inside ever so slightly before cutting off his route and biting hard for the sideline. The cornerback never had a chance.

Quarterback Tim Tebow hit Cooper in stride for a first down. It was Cooper's third reception in a row in Florida's new no-huddle offense.

Cooper motioned to the sidelines. He needed a replacement, but before he could make it off the field, Cooper became ill and vomited. He had the flu. His night was over -- or so he thought.
