This headline appeared in the Sports section of USA Today on Wednesday, April 30. The columnist, Michael Hiestand, probably knows better. Maybe he was just in a hurry. Or maybe someone else wrote the headline.Whatever happened, my husband spotted this grammar goof for me.
When you use a helping verb like "could" or "should" or "would" with a verb, you use the PRESENT TENSE form of the verb with it. Therefore, this headline should have (not "should had") read as follows:
Knicks could give analyst carousel a spin.
