    I can't believe Denver scored 7 points in the SB but the more than still cashed.

    They scored eight.

    Sorry. It scored eight.

    But let's change that rule too, the it/they rule. Everything is "they."

    Has someone started a petition at change.org yet?

    If AP ever signs off on "very unique," I'm leaving ... not just the business, but the planet.
