Any of those is preferable to what the writers on [freep.com](http://freep.com) (the website of the Detroit Free Press) actually came up with. [The Road to XVI Is Complete](http://www.freep.com/article/20081228/COL22/81228031) The Detroit News came up with a slightly better [Perfectly Dreadful](http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/frontpage) ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > Any of those is preferable to what the writers on [freep.com](http://freep.com) (the website of the Detroit Free Press) actually came up with. The print edition headline on the sports section of the printed Free Press is **WOETOWN**. They have a box on the front page, with just **0-16** as its headline. The Detroit News has **A SEASON TO FORGET** on the front page and **PERFECTLY AWFUL** on the front of the sports section. Of those, **WOETOWN** is pretty good. I think I like **Marley23** ’s **HIST-0-RY** best of the ones here. ---
