Why put it like this?:
This is from a Packers' press release:
The Green Bay Packers have signed wide receiver Corey Parchman to the practice squad, GM/Head Coach Mike Sherman announced Thursday. The 6-foot, 191-pound Parchman replaces wide receiver Devin Lewis, who has been terminated."Terminated?" What, did Mike Sherman off him and dump the body into the Fox River? Couldn't they just say Lewis was cut from the practice squad?
Heh heh. Actually, it's the latest twist in cross-marketing. Hollywood's merely seeding awareness for Terminator 3: Rosy, the She Bot.

Sherman is an advanced T-1000 model. Made of a liquid polyalloy, he sampled Lewis through physical contact during practice, and then morphed into an exact replica of him. He found him alone in the locker room and stabbed him in the face with his hand, which had taken the shape of an ice pick. Sherman then mentioned something about Judgment Day and finding Sarah Conner...
