shouldn't it be "couldn't HAVE been" and not "couldn't OF been"? I know it's Monday but that's pretty lazy, editors!
also, I have to admit I don't like the headers "Say What?" and "Oh Snap!" - they imply something surprising or shocking and almost nothing under those categories on this site are either of these things.
If the purpose of these tidbits is to be inspiring or point out something special, I urge you to consider a more positive headline, otherwise it reads as "Say What?! The new team owner is gay?! How appalling!"

She's very pretty! I'd love to see the Cubs turn their team
