He has really straightened things around

Tab Douglas on the sports radio show 93.7 The Fan was talking about the University of Pittsburgh’s recent big football win over Virginia Tech and how the team is doing well after a slow start.  He then said the coach “has really straightened things around”.  This is a congruent conflation of “straightened things out” and “turned things around”, both meaning to improve a situation.  A big thanks to John Kooser for hearing this one and sending it in!
