Pet Peeves 'R' Us

A couple weeks ago, the NFL began airing commercials for the playoffs. One of them featured Shannon Sharpe of the Baltimore Ravens. Shannon's a pretty smart guy -- he likes to drop a few five-dollar words into his trash talking -- and that makes this instance of one of my pet peeves even worse, because I know he knows better than to do this.

He says: "There are 31 teams in the NFL. Only 12 get a chance to make the playoffs. So you [sic] special."

Is it too much to ask for college-educated people, even jocks, to use verbs in their sentences?
