Desmond Howard: no love from ESPN
Desmond had an awesome career in A2 and Green Bay. He is a Heisman trophy winning WR and won a SB as a return specialist.
I was watching ESPN college top 20 preview with Herbstreit, Desmond, Jessie Palmer, Robert smith and Todd Blackledge. At time during the preview they put graphics up with the player college credentials and highlights. When Desmond Howard's graphic flashed on the screen during the top 5 it listed him as a former Michigan DB..... I was insulted for him
Cool your jets, it's a simple mistake. You would have to be insulted for him, too, because I doubt he would care about something small like that.
That guy was one of the harbringers of the current festering shit show that is ESPN/Sportscenter, dog.
One could argue that ESPN has been dorkville from the start with Chris Berman's constant presence, but I agree that the arrival of "Stu" heralded a new and higher level of dorkiness.
I consider ESPN News et al. unlistenable. I still appreciate the highlights, though.
I agree that she has a classy presentation, and I don't have any issues with her performance, but she's also painfully ESPN in a focus-group sense, as in "OK, because we're an enlightened network we need someone from that (historically marginalized blah blah blah) segment of the population who won't annoy too many members of our core whitebread-meathead East Coast RedSox/Giants/Flyers/etc. fan base. We did something similar with Pam Ward and no one seemed to mind."
Christiano Ronaldo looks like he wants to bang a tranny in that picture.
Lol.
Ronaldo's career took an absolute nosedive after the world cup final in Paris....
Is it not showing properly on the Droid app?
As a heterosexual American male I also have no idea what is wrong with this picture.
I also did not realize that photographic knowledge of international soccer stars was a prerequisite to not getting down voted on a Michigan sports blog. Who knew it was such common knowledge? So common that others are actually dumbfounded that people don't see the error.
The only thing more dumbfounding is why anybody would assume that the error in this picture is common knowledge to a bunch of people who clicked on a story for American football discussion...
He recently had a meltdown where he said he was leaving MGoBlog for good because people were mean to him in a thread he started to whine about a free App that was created as a class project.
its the wrong ronaldo
You're a true hero.
who thought Howard was Woodson.
Or a senile old person who can’t keep anything straight anymore.
/age war’d
Oh, yeah?
At least I've seen a vagina that did not require a permission slip for my 6th grade anatomy class!
/return volley (hope you know I'm just joking)
Well played, gramps. I’ll give you this round, but only because you don’t have many rounds remaining in you.
(It’s the internet. Joking should really be the default setting)
This is so like ESPN to purposefully provide inaccurate information about one of their employees' playing resume. Clearly, ESPN hates Desmond Howard and the University of Michigan. And dogs. And old people.
What is up with the soccer picture?
and assume you truly don't know. There is a difference between Ronaldo (Brazilian) and Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugese and the player for Real Madrid) They fucked it up.
I feel confident that Desmond let someone know about the mistake in person.
It's espn, what do you expect?
First my mistakes aren't on national television and second a group of people aren't paid to follow me around and fix my mistakes before other people see them.
It's not about a conspiracy that espn hates Michigan. I could care less about who hates Michigan and who doesn't. lol take breath and relax ya ginger
had to be a typo because everytime I watch College Football Live, DH resume says UofM Wide receiver / Heisman winner/Super bowl MVP.
way to be the only person to upvote your post
watch ESPN anymore? I thought it was cancelled. Huh, ABC must be desperate.
Best invention since air-conditioning.
This thread sucks. Of course, the irony of me contributing that editorial jem is not lost on me.
