I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very 4-3 defense that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you said thank you, and went on your way.  Otherwise, I suggest you pick up a wistle, and stand a side line.

I've got a cool Mr T story, bro. A few of us who worked at Uno's on South U back in the day went to Chicago for a weekend and at one point I was supposed to meet the others at this ridiculous giant dance club called the Baha Beach Club.

When you walked in you were at the top of a big wide stairway that lead down to the dance floor, so I was standing near the top scouring this giant room for my friends when all of a sudden half the place started to stare at me & several people started rushing up the stairs toward me... was I a double for a wanted murderer? Do they think I'm a movie star? Should I run?

Well then 3 guys I didn't realize had walked in and were standing a few steps above me came down to my step and were standing to my left. Two of them were bodyguards/henchmen who looked like much larger versions of Jerome from Morris Day's The Time, including the gangster brims, and standing right next to me was the man himself Mr T!

He had the gold chains and everything you'd expect if he were in character! So he stands there for a few moments and then in this deep, dark, rich growl of a voice he semi barked with a staccato emphasis on each word "I'm gonna move on down to da dance flow." The super serious henchmen gave him a nod of approval and he sho nuff moved on down to da dance flow and every body swarmed him and he danced with everybody! Then the DJ called him over to the DJ corral in the middle of the floor and introduced him and T took over the DJ duty for a bit and had the whole place jumpin'! It was surreal and awesome!

I've met or seen up close a lot of celebrities in my life & Mr. T was more Mr. T-like than anyone else was like their persona that I can remember!

Anytime I see that, especially on an article that short, I immeadiately think less of the site hosting that article and it reaffirms the reason why many newpaper and old media websites are going to the wayside. If you're going to clickwhore for your advertisers, I'll take my click somewhere else. Even when I'm using adblock, if there's something worth reading that isn't in a whitelisted domain, I'll pause it to promote that content.

"I don't like Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh did not give me access to him or his coaches like I wanted so I'm going to write this article criticizing his and his coaches technical acumen and game management. I understand that these are the same coaches who schemed a pathetic and lost franchise to a Superbowl and multiple playoff/NFC Championship appearances. Nonetheless, this new guy, Tomasula has changed the landscape for my work environment. As a shill to hm and the York family who welcome me into their facilities I shall now write this lamentable slagging of Jim Harbaugh.

"Harbaugh’s offense

It was stone-age.

Let me amend that — the passing game was stone-age. 

And the passing game was only the third-worst thing about Harbaugh’s offense.

The second-worst thing was how conservative it was.

But the worst was Harbaugh’s play-calling system."

But overall w/e... article wasn't much of an attack... Just some annoyances beat writers had with Harbaugh.. who cares.

It was an attack by a guy who doesn't know football on a guy who clearly does. 

How is he defining the passing game as stone-age? You know who has a simple, "stone-age" passing game combined with a creative run game--Chip Kelly.

Does he even know Harbaugh's play calling system?

The point about interviewing assistants and the catch-phrases . . . . fine. Those are legitimate points. But unless this guy has a background we don't know about, the rest is just making stuff up.

To be fair, his primary criticism of the offensive play-calling is that Harbaugh hired and retained Greg Roman. Can't disagree with that.

Greg Roman deserves his own section. Harbaugh hired him, so Harbaugh’s responsible for him.

Roman called the offensive plays...Harbaugh should have fired Roman years ago. But Harbaugh was loyal, so they went down together.

Will be what he writes about Michigans at the end of this year. This guy is just wring slop to garner attention. Nothing more. JH doesn't deserve praise, or criticism at this point. The jury is still out. JH will have better recruits at UM than he ever had at Stanford ( Luck not withstanding). Even now with the state of UM, he has a stronger starting eleven ( recruiting ratings) than he ever had at Stanford.. At the end of the year the world will know what UM's got. UM fans want to tell themselves that JH should be among the nations best. Well, Urban Meyer took over a OSU team that came off its worse season in 100 Years and went undefeated the following season. He has since gone 38-3. I don't think anyone really believes UM will have that level of success, things is UM fans should expect it. UM's recruiting classes have been every bit as strong as OSU's at the time Meyer took over. So with that said Harbaugh will either accomplish similar levels of success and prove he belongs with the games greats, or he won't and prove he doesn't. If he doesn't win 11 games at min. then he may not be a dud, but he won't belong in the same sentence with the Meyers of the world.
