Aphorism in journalism

Did my due diligence - after the fact , of course.
' man bites dog ' is a shortened version of the journalistic aphorism which says that the more newsworthy story is not the commonplace dog bite scenario but the rarer ' man bites dog '.
Wikipedia, however lists 6 incidences since 2000,  headlining the ' man bites dog ' line. One of these had a nearly naked man biting a dog. The more normal piece was a suspect biting a police dog , one supposes in revenge for being hunted down.
The phrase was coined by Alfred Harmsworth, a British news baron.
J Bogart of the NY Sun also is credited w/ the phrase and so is Charles Anderson. The date of origin appears to be the late 1800 s.
Sorry Horace, no street cred for you.
Canada Post made the news on Sympatico. The corporation is admitting that a nearly nude ad was delivered to some mailboxes - not mine- and they apologized. Apparently, not everyone complained.
Warm day coming, no precip and gentle winds.
I failed to remind you that the Crimson Tide of Alabama ran over the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. I've been a Tide fan since I was 12 or 13. I remember hearing that the lighter but quicker Alabama lineman were being dominated by the bigger players of Nebraska or Michigan.
So, the offensive line of Alabama averaged 300 lb across the front five - yeah lighter my patoochie - but also fast.
Roll Tide Roll.
The origin of the nickname ' Crimson Tide ' is lost in the mists or myths of time. But the most common story is a newspaper report from the late 1800 s that read ' like a crimson tide, the red of Alabama rolled over the yellow of Georgia Tech '. The GT team is the ' Yellow Jackets ' and their unofficial name is the ' Ramblin Wreck '.
The headlines on Tues read " Historic Roll " as the Alabama football team has won back to back National Championships. The Southeastern Conference, the SEC, has now won every National title since 2007.
