Met him at the spring game last year and he is a  special young guy -- and Curt really loves Michigan.

My buddy likes to give power hand shakes and he put one on Kurt. After about twenty seconds my friend, with a tear glistening in his eye, said "he's got an extra gear or two that I just don't have".

It was beautiful!

Everything about that story is top shelf my friend.  Your buddy trying to powershake Kurt and his response when it failed is freaking epic.

You know when people say "cool story bro" but they dont really mean it?  I mean it.  That's a cool story bro.

Kurt Taylor is the definition of great character. His work ethic is 100% deserving of the #5, and I can't wait to see him proudly represent the number when he's splitting carries with Walker and Samuels in 2 years.

Miss a couple of days and WD has a meltdown and leaves the blog, swearing never to return. Miss a couple more days and WD is back, like nothing ever happened. Who says OT season is dull and boring...

Because there was a point in my life where I would have serious arguments about LOTR minutiae, and there may have been a notebook where I worked on translating Elvish. From 4th-10th grade, I was also obsessed with the American Civil War. I probably read 200-300 books on the subject.

So when I hear WD making super guides and being super excited about M gear, a part of me is like, "God, where did my passion for stuff like that go?"

How is that mockery? I actually changed my profile picture for a few weeks and people kept complaining so I changed it back. I think the picture is badass. 

I just hope his firing from the Denver Post wasn't due to him being accused of posting stupid homer/slappy comments on a Michigan blog all day every day.
