That should count for something, IMO.

    Not necessarily. You can't trade without a partner. If no one was willing to take on his salary then forget about it.

    This part isn't just directed at you because there are a few others here who do this too, and it drives me nucking futs: it's either "could have" or "could've" but never, ever, ever "could of".

    Sorry...I just can't take that anymore...it makes me crazy to read "could of".

    The one that kills me that I see constantly is people spelling "lose" as "loose" (for example, "The Bengals are loosing by seven points").

    I teach a graduate level Advanced Education Psychology course, and I have established teachers who working toward a Master's degree who make that error in their papers all the time.

    The one on this board that gets me is the lack of "to be" in many sentences (for example, "Bruce Arians needs fired" rather than "Bruce Arians needs to be fired"). I don't think this one could be explained away by someone being more accustomed to spoken English rather than written English, since I have never heard anyone talk this way (then again, perhaps it is a regional quirk like "Yinz" that I am unaware of at the present time).
    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

        Heh...both of those get me too. And there's also the whole "your" and "you're" thing.

        It's simple...if one is saying "you are" then it's "you're". If not then it's "your". For example, "Your friends think you're stupid because of your poor grammar".

            It surprises me that this is taking place. I don't know if it is a surprise but it makes me think back to Simmons the guard prior to Stapelton.

            Many of us couldn't wait for Simmons to be replaced and were happy that Stapelton seemed to foot the bill at that position. I too at first was happy with Stapelton but as time went on, I realized he wasn't much better or better. What had taken the Steelers for ever to figure out that Simmons wasn't their future but quickly learned Stapelton isn't either. Didn't we replace Stapelton wit Essexs a player that has been on the team ?
            Did it take him that long to develope or can't they tell who's good or not ?
            Maybe they plan on bringing someone in or they feel Essexs can make the grade or they think we have a younger guy ready to be the starter.
            Just surprises me that we stuck it out with Simmons for so long, had Stapelton, he is now expendable.
