I'm going to miss Troll Warfork.
Remember when his magically exploding ankle ruined the season and got RichRod fired? Or on second thought, maybe not.

After years and years of everyone getting his name wrong despite it being the same name as a famous Michigan tailback who happens to be his dad, Troy Woolfolk wakes up today and tomorrow hoping to see a team next to his name on the NFL draft tracker. Aaaaaand…
…oof. Fine, thinks Woolfolk. I didn't want to be part of your stupid dlaft anyway.
Hopefully this marks the retirement of the "Tloy Wolfork" tag, but I'm guessing it'll make at least one more appearance. Now on to everyone calling our new quarkback "Dennis Northfleet."

So you're saying his injury was like Anthony Base's?

Quarkback is too close to
Quarkback is too close to Quarterback.
Every time I see it, think to myself "hurr, Brian put the wrong position down for that guy".

Woolfolk in the draft
Best of luck to Troy.
This reminds me, however, of a woman I knew at UM named Sam who was a sportswriter for the Daily (and I think the very first woman sportswriter at the Daily). I remember seeing her in the spring of 1982 on the day the draft was going to start. She told me how excited she was to watch the draft and see who would pick Woolfolk. My thought at the time was: who in the heck watches the NFL draft? It was a different time, no interwebs, barely any cable news, no ESPN (I think). Sam was a hell of a sports fan and writer.
So, here's hoping for good luck for Woolfolk in the draft.

Well there was Robin Wright in the 60's.
She was particularly mentioned in one of Bo's books. Bo would meet her in the hallway outside the lockerroom in order to review the day's events for her articles in the Daily. Had to set it up special since she could not go into the lockerroom like the other sportswriters. This was way before they had the interview room, etc. that they have now..
She went on to become an expert re Middle East affairs. worked for the Washington Post, and the Los Angeles Times among others. She continues to be a regular on the Sunday Morning talking head shows on the networks. Originally from Ann Arbor. Used to date my old friend the center fielder for Michigan.

Interesting, thanks.
Interesting, thanks. I've read Robin Wright's articles. I didn't know the back story.

Seriously? How do you mess up
Seriously? How do you mess up Woolfolk? Especially with all the other names out there

From the combine list...
some of the others are much worse than Woolfolk, from a "this is a really easy name to misspell" perspective.
Massaquoi, Osemele, Silatolu, Stahovich, Trevathan, Zusevics. I wonder how badly ESPN butchered those guy's names.

ESPN never makes mistakes.
ESPN never makes mistakes. They're simply spelling these players names the proper way. Shame on their parents for getting it wrong all these years....and these aren't the droids you're looking for.

Thank you
Thanks Mgoblog, this made me laugh just moments after dealing with a wireless service trying to make me spend money to remain a customer, of 10 years.

Something I've noticed this
Something I've noticed this year is that every half wit analyst is using the word "intangibles."
"He has great intangibles."
That's nice, why don't you share what they might be - leadership, drive, excellent under pressure, heart, attitude, toughness....??? Or not. Just say he is athletic and has great intangibles. You've earned every dollar of your salary...
Also, somewhere Ty Issaccs is having a good laugh at Troy Woolford's expense.

Whenever an analysts mentions
Whenever an analysts mentions a player's intangibles, I want to ask him why of his qualities are tangible. Too often, the word intangible is used where the word "immeasurable" should be used. I agree that leadership is intangible. So is a 40 time, or "strength." None of those are tangible.

However, "heart" is tangible,
However, "heart" is tangible, but not practical to do so. Probably not in the context of the ever-knowing analysts though. The debate rages on...

Brool Story, Co:
I was playing church league softball a couple years back and a guy who went to the '09 Spring Game was telling everyone how great "Rob Roundtree" and "Tate Forseer" looked. He also said he couldn't wait for "Denard Richardson" to join the team in the summer. Amazing.
