Spring: a young man's thoughts turn to crushes past. Guess what! Maggie Haskins has a column on SI.com now.

From her Final Four column, pleading with sportswriters to retire the cliché of creating four-pointed lists when writing about the Final Four:

1. It's not that witty, everybody does it.
2. Too much alliteration with the letter "F" doesn't make it any cooler.
3. A writer usually only has three good points to make about any given subject and the last one is usually a filler.
4. See No. 3.

Gotta love it!

I am a victim of looking way too closely at miss Haskins. Pray for Me!

Lame, Maggie....now THAT sort of reprise is a cliche, and it's why you didn't win Dream Job.

Formatting is easy – just think how you might do it in e-mail:

Styled text	**bold** or *italic*	bold or italic
Quoted text	> Trump is so dumb.	Trump is so dumb.
Hyperlink	Go to <https://abc.com>	Go to https://abc.com
Film/TV Titles	(m: Titanic) or (t: Frasier)	Titanic or Frasier

Or you can get really fancy: read the Markdown guide for more tricks.
