Another gem from ESPN
Not to pile it on or anything, but in ESPN's article about Denard being good to go for Saturday's game against Indiana, apparently it's a matchup of 4-0 teams:
The 19th-ranked Wolverines will face the Hoosiers on the road Saturday in a matchup of 4-0 teams.
Just another thing to add to the heaping pile of crap from ESPN.

Their quality control people have been moved to the section that puts Madden passing cones on players during highlights.
I like their college football bloggers, but not much else.

Their quality control staffers were cut when they were caught for spending too much time in meetings. ESPN tried to argue that it was just pre-meeting chatter, but they were penalized anyway.

It's not college football! Just ask them!
(No sense in trying to get things right if it's not important.)

I'd say they're even on the day for providing us with this article.

Boys and Girls High School volunteer assistant football coach William Miller has been sacked after he exposed his rear end to opposing fans following an altercation with school safety officers and referees during a game Saturday, according to school officials.

is a good reference. +1 to you sir! And let this be a message to all my fellow mgobloggers- if you see fit to post Monty Python material, you will always get an upvote from me. Ni!

It's unbelievable how (relatively) calm and intelligent the MGoPosters are, compared to the people that comment on the ESPN forums.

Well, most of us are no longer going through puberty.

Psh, speak for yourself.

This dovetails nicely with your signature line.

I posted something on the thread below...cnnsi (from AP) had the same thing...

They said the same thing on CFL today

Someone at ESPN goofed up, but the caption says under the video Forcier said was also hurt at BG.
Great fact checking guys.
EDIT: Apparently Forcier did have a quad bruise (sorry for the words, ESPN, you're fact checking is amazing), but I still think it's misleading to imply that was completely the reason he left. I think Devin would have come in anyway on the next series.

All about getting headlines. If I had gone on ESPN mobile instead of watching the game, I guarantee that headline would have been Michigan loses 2 QB's in win. I guess they didn't see that Tate played through his injury, and that Denard didn't talk to the because he was too busy chest bumping Gardner.

Nor do I go to their websites anymore except for the recent rankings. I remember the days when I woke up early in the morning just to catch the Top 10 Plays before school started, and then running home to finish my HW so I could watch ATH and PTI.
However, I am now saddened that ESPN has become (more of) a money-grubbing attention whore, and the more I hear and see from ESPN, the more I'm realizing that their network is slowly becoming less and less about sports and more about inflated egos and cookie-cutter media tactics to suck in the drooling idiot masses who know about an iota's worth of knowledge about the sports they "love". IMO, ESPN will eventually become the MTV of sports broadcasting.

"Coming up next: it's your boy Ludacris with his his picks for today's games, followed by Erin Andrews' interview with The Situation following Rutgers' heartbreaking home loss to West Virginia last week. And as always, Lady Gaga. You won't want to miss it, yo."

ESPN is only good for the sports games and select 30 for 30 movies...I can't stand Sportscenter where all they do is obsess over Favre / A-Rod / some other athlete..."The Decision!"
At times like these I am glad I don't have cable

3-0? 4-0? BFD.
