I'm actually with you...

These clowns say "stoned" in the backfield non-stop... Or is it just me?

I've never liked that, and I've always hated "lost contain" too. Effing containMENT! MENT! Why can't they say containment? What the 17 is contain?

I'm glad I'm not the only one who realized 'contain' is a verb. That's bothered me for the last few years when it all of a sudden got to be the cool thing for announcers to say.

The NFL is on a relentless campaign against grammar...

They singlehandedly destroyed the adverb.
