Shocker: Drew Dalman retires

[bileever]

Bear's Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman retires.

Bears Pro Bowl center Drew Dalman expected to retire after five NFL seasons

The price for Lindenbaum and McGovern just went up a couple of million.

Dalman is only 27, and he made $18 million last year. Surprising he would walk away from that.

Well, when you're already a millionaire, and you're not spending your way out of being a millionaire, there's less incentive to step back into the car crash simulator.

Maybe he's got a long-term injury concern already that he's worried about aggravating, who knows.

Also, FYI, plurals never have "apostrophe s" at the end.

I remember the outrage last year from some that we didn't sign Dalman.

That’s not a plural ‘s, it’s a possessive and those do have an apostrophe unless you can argue that it”s plural and possessive so it should be bears’…. I think

Possessives do use the apostrophe, that's NOT a possessive, though; unless "Bear" is the name of the owner of the Chicago Bears and nobody told me.

I read it as the bear’s, as in the team’s center. Which would be the royal BEAR’s possess drew dalman… xept he retired

Pretty sure it would be "Bears's"

Like who is the Seahawk’s qb vs who is the qb of the seahawks

Never?

There are some exceptions.

The 1990’s was my favorite decade.

T’s should be crossed and i’s should be dotted.

This post went sideway's in a hurry.

While there are exceptions, using an apostrophe with plural versions of single letters is allowed, but not required. People also often mix up the year thing, when you SHORTEN the years, it becomes '90s, with the apostrophe before and not after, 1990s as in the plural for the time period has no apostrophe, unless you are denoting ownership/possession, in which case you could say something grammatically correct such as "1990's best film was Goodfellas", which is referring to the best film of that single year, while if you were to say "The best film of the 1990s was Goodfellas", you are referring to the entire decade of the 1990s. Uncommon edge cases are hardly something to try and hang your hat on for this.

No apostrophe in 1990s in this context.

Good luck to Dalman — he gets to go out on his own terms, which isn't the case for many, many players.

Oh snap, Grammar class. Noice.

Further proof that my dot not net family will truly argue about ANYTHING

As long as the Hawks don't LOOSE too many games. (runs for cover)

YOUR correct!

You’re….. sheesh you guys are incorrigible

But we’re not talking about who owns the Bears, we’re talking about who owns drew dalman. And nobody now, but he was owned by the bears. He was the bears’ center. Is that correct professor?

I’m only going this far with this cause you always take it upon yourself to correct everyone’s grammar…. So just saying….
