If you could have one past or current player on MGoBlog...

If you could pick one current or past Michigan football player to post in the comments regularly, who would it be? I began thinking that Denard would be my obvious choice of current players, but then I started thinking more and I have to say that my number one choice would be Taylor Lewan. I think Lewan would be a funny poster who knows a ton about the "situation on the ground" right now, and knows the team personally.

I'm not sure about my pick for past player; Woodson is too obvious for me to pick in an OP. I'd have to say I'll take the second most obvious pick and go with Desmond Howard, since he would likely have great stories from his time here, and he has his ESPN contacts currently.

Anyway, is there a past or current player that you would love to see on MGoBlog? What's the reasoning behind your choice?

My favorite response is Slocum's answer about his mother.  Who the hell refers to their bother as "dat b-tch" and says that she's "tha sh-t" in the same breath??  WTF??

I'm not sure what's more ridiculous - his responses or the fact that I could understand what he was saying in most all of the responses.

I love posts like this to kill time at work...

Past: David Cone- because everything would be written by a lyrical genious that could bust into rhymes at any point. I also believe that everytime I read one of his posts I would hear a beat with it.

Present: Darryl Stonum- recruited by Carr, played for RR and now part of the Hoke team. I also loved it when he showed up at the presser wearing the Nerd glasses. Seems like a funny guy who would have a great perspective on the program and the team.

A couple years ago while I was finishing up my degree over the Spring/Summer, I decided to get a job checking IDs for a bar in Ann Arbor. Whenever underage football players would come in, they would always use Tony Pape's old Illinois drivers license. It was funny, because 4-5 different people used that same ID throughout the time I worked there.

My vote for current player would go to Michael Cox, because then he could see that I'm the only one who's been on his bandwagon and that way he'll give me a small percentage of his salary when he runs for a million billion yards and enters the NFL Draft early next year.

to be on Kelly's 5th grade Bantam basketball team in Portage. He was doing stuff then that I had never seen before on a basketball court. It sucked though when he ended my school's (Portage Central) winning streak over Northern in football. It was awful staring out the window at school and seeing those brown and orange goalposts. (Get your own damn stadium!) I would love to hear from him now to see if he and his family are still blaming "dark forces" in the community for him barfing up his scholarship.

Given your unwillingness to comment on whether anyone's pick comes on, I'll assume that Denard, Woodson, Braylon, Desmond, Lewan, Molk, Martin, Slocum and Tom Brady are all regulars that comment on most of the threads.

I guess I hadn't noticed how small the number of players named was; in that case it makes a lot more sense than I originally thought. I agree about ripping former players, the hardcore element of the fanbase is a heck of a lot smaller than the general base. You can't expect that really nasty things would go unread here like they would go unheard in a bar.

FWIW it doesn't look like Slocum is a regular contributor, so at least I narrowed it down a bit more.
