I’m not being defensive, but why would you use ‘sic’ here? That’s the accepted position title, and also the only way of spelling the word, as far as I’m aware. In the grand scheme of things, it’s not particularly important, admittedly.

But seriously, they call them defense (sic) and offense (sic) but say they ball is turned over, the team run down the pitch as defense and score (it happens occasionally). That makes them the offensive team?

 

I've always thought these terms as fluid, though maybe I was just being silly for the sake of it.

Yes, I can see the justification of sic after ‘defense’ or ‘offense’ because they spell it differently. But ‘defensive’ is universal. 
 

And defenders in ‘our’ type of football (the spherical one) can still score. 
 

Anyhow, Go Pack! All we need is Love (Jordan).

 

I’ve probably confused you and everyone else even more now.

George Reed, who over 13 seasons with the Saskatchewan Roughriders was one of the greatest running backs in CFL history, has died one day shy of his 84th birthday.

At the time of his retirement, he led the CFL with 16,116 rushing yards and his 134 rushing touchdowns is a record that still stands today. In his 13 seasons, Reed rushed for over 1,000 yards for a CFL-record 11 times.

Two bits about Russ Francis that Diego didn't mention.

 

He won the Superbowl in 1984. I feel like every superbowl winner is a guaranteed DDP QO nowadays, which wasn't the case a few years ago.

 

And he was in the Wrestlemania 2 NFL Vs WWF battle royal.
