That was the headline in the Milwaukee Journal/Sentinel sports page today. In BIG BLACK LETTERS.
Yes, that's right, "TEEM!"
HUH!?!?[grin1]

in response to being asked about it, the journal sentinel had this to say:

"We did hear from some readers – probably about a dozen who called or emailed – and we explained that it was a play on words, not a misspelling. The headline and the use of the word “teem” was intended to describe the swarming nature of the Packers defense. Perhaps it was too clever at the expense of clarity. "
BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

"TEEM!?!? Where is SPELL CHECK!?!? Crap....ok.....how do we NOT look like idiots on this? Oh, heck.....99.9% of the people that read this paper probably won't even catch the mistake."[-x [grin1]

Their response did not spell it out enough for a dumb guy like me. Is is the use of double e's to represent bee's which swarm?

TEEM = BEES = Swarming?

Teem:

verb

Be full of or swarming with: "every garden is teeming with wildlife".

Bit of stretch in this context though.

Maybe the play of words were "to give birth" to an NFL caliber Defense. 🙂

Zero2Cool (25-Apr) : NO NO NO NO NO NO!!1 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
