James Rodriguez and the worst headline ever written

The thing about this headline is: it’s awful.

Colombia’s superstar has stolen our hearts and we can’t stop writing about him. But maybe we should be thinking these headlines through a little more, guys:

I ... what.

It ... uh ... that’s not a good headline, The Times of India. In fact, I would go so far as to say that is the worst headline.

Some other, better headlines you could have gone with:

- Meet James Rodriguez, my wiiiiiiife
- I’m Ron Burgundy James Rodriguez; stay classy San Diego
- Whatcha gonna do, brother, when James Rodriguez runs wild on you?
- “WHAT’S IN THE BOOOOOOX?” It’s James Rodriguez!
