I know how the Steelers can win this week
Start Tommy Maddox at QB...or at the very least start him in the 2nd half if Big Ben cant move the offense.
I am sure many of you will disagree but I dont like rookie QB's this time of year at the same time put a wrench into the Pats game plan. |

[/ QUOTE ] I disagree for a few reasons. 1) It won't put a wrench in the Pats gameplan. They don't play that much differently with Maddox. 2) Maddox is not better than Rothlisberger (sic) In fact, you could call Maddox a playoff rookie. I can't remember how many times he's actually played in the playoffs. But it can't be more than once. |

honest, dumb question:
[ QUOTE ] 2) Maddox is not better than Rothlisberger (sic) [/ QUOTE ] What does (sic) mean? |

It's used to point out a probable spelling error.
As far as I know, it stands for "Spelling Incorrect". I could be way off with that though. That's just how I've always interpreted that particular acronym. I know I have at least the meaning correct. |

Re: I know how the Steelers can win this week
You usually use it like this. Like if you're quoting a homeless person and he writes "I dunt kno bout dem wite kids," you'd put (sic) after that to show the reader it's not your mistake.

Re: I know how the Steelers can win this week
(Sic) is used when you're quoting someone and you want to point out the quote is as intended by the original author. Basically your making it clear any error is not a typo on you're part. For example, someone quoting me would write:
[ QUOTE ] "Basically your (sic) making it clear it's not a typo on you're (sic) part." [/ QUOTE ] I believe "(sp?)" would be used to indicate a possible incorrect spelling. |

honest, dumb question: [ QUOTE ] 2) Maddox is not better than Rothlisberger (sic) [/ QUOTE ] What does (sic) mean? [/ QUOTE ]It's Latin for "thus" or "so". It's supposed to be used when quoting someone verbatim, and you want the reader to know that any spelling or grammar mistakes were the original writer's and not your own. http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/usage/sic If you aren't sure if you yourself are spelling something right or not, usually it's customary to use (sp?) after the word, not (sic). |

how about 'wrinkle'? [/ QUOTE ] That's fair. It would indeed be a wrinkle the Pats weren't anticipating. The only way I can see that it would be better for the Steelers is if Ben is actually injured. |

Re: I know how the Steelers can win this week
I was expecting a picture of belichick and brady tied to a railroad track wile-e-coyote style.
I will be rooting for the steelers cause I [censored] hate the pats, but the steelers are screwed. |
