Totaling total yards

Found online: In Texas A&M’s first season in the SEC, Manziel guided the Aggies to an 11-2 record, totaling 5,116 total yards and 47 touchdowns on his way to becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

Totaling 5,116 total yards? Let's do it again:

This headline revs me up

Headline found online: NASCAR hall: plenty of rev, not enough revenue
The word "rev" is perfect for the NASCAR Hall of Fame, and it's obvious from this headline that the hall isn't making enough money.
I might uppercase NASCAR Hall, though.
I love puns: I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I just can't put it down.
