Just click the attachment. It was done using Microsoft Word. I hope it works correctly for anyone. If we have issues we can post the articles. I read it in Print Layout and it looks pretty good.
I guess discuss everything in here.

Figgins strikes out a hella lot and is horrible at getting on base for a leadoff hitter

The Phillies just never get any quality outs.

Fifa is calling it the Golden Shoe. That is the only reason why I put it like that. I know it used to be the Golden Boot.

If I get motivated, I might try and photoshop a logo/header for "The Hot Corner". It won't happen tonight...but if my hangover passes tomorrow, I'll use my day off to give it a try

It's fit to about the size of the formatting of your thing so far, but I can stretch the pictures a little wider if needed and they'll still be good. I can also changed the color from red pretty easily...I just know red shows up well over pictures like this...

College football actually. But my next piece (after the one I'm finishing tomorrow) will be baseball related, just not sure what though.

there are some phenomenal picture decisions there, i think i see sonny liston, d-wade, maria, jj, tiger, young manning, michelle wie, albert "god" pujols, and BILL WALTON!

And I tried to cover most of the sports and major figures...I put Wie in because if I don't feel like changing this for a while, she's going to be huge once she wins a major or a men's event...if that ever happens
And it's actually LeBron instead of D-Wade, but you can't see the 23 on the jersey really
