What does SB mean in a headline?

FOUND ONLINE: Dolphins Look to Upgrade RBs, Continue GM Seach at SB

That's a promo and link for an online story, and I went to it assuming that SB meant Super Bowl. When I got in the story, I realized that they meant Senior Bowl, an annual game to show off college players who are going pro.

So the promo was misleading, at least to me. (And they need to fix the spelling of Search.)

I guess it's kinda like SIL, Internet slang that could mean son-in-law or sister-in-law, depending on who's talking.

NOTE: They could have said -- Dolphins look for RB upgrade at Senior Bowl

That faucet of his game

Found online: The knock on Miller is his poor pass blocking skills. It will be interesting to watch his development in that faucet of his game.

I hope the writer meant facet rather than faucet. Sounds too leaky to me. Also, I'd write pass-blocking skills.


From the same story: But the team also has other capable options whom compliment Wallace’s skill set quite well.


It would be who complement.


Also found online: I just found a thing on CBS.com about the Greatest Superbowl Commercials. Wonderful.


Except it's the Super Bowl, not the Superbowl.
