Headlines

Here's an example of a headline I think is hilarious, courtesy of today's Tennessean (most of these will come from the Tennessean):

Former TSU great Joe Gilliam Jr. battled NFL barriers, own demons

What does "own demons" even mean?  As opposed to someone else's demons?  Former TSU great Joe Gilliam Jr. battled NFL barriers, his sister's demons.  Or how 'bout we take the "own" out of there, since it's redundant.  Now we have: Former TSU great Joe Gilliam Jr. battled NFL barriers, demons.  

He battled demons!?!?!  Now that would be a sports article I would read.
