It's not THAT Common Of A Phrase...




Notice something a little similar about the two pictures up there? I mean, it would be one thing if it were an obvious play on words, for example if the story was about Juan Montoya winning the Nextel Race today and both headlines happened to be "Juan In A Million" or "Juan Of A Kind". The phrase "smoking aces" though, just isn't that common or that obvious of a pun for this story for these two headlines to be a coincidence. I mean, the AP photo is even the same, Sportsline just cropped it tighter. (For the record the SI headline was up first) I hope the headline writers at these websites try a little harder from now on.
