Not-so-funny typo on Rivals.com
I was reading an article on Rivals about a Rivals.com 5-Star event in East Lansing because it mentioned in the preview that in-state prospects were there. I clicked the link and read. The first typo discussed MSU's new "Skadalaris Football Comples" which shows that no one proofread this, but it's pretty benign. Further down the page the quote Danny O'Brien, a DT from Flint Powers as saying:
"I sent out my highlight rape and got some stuff back from Nebraska, Virginia, and Illinois."
I don't even want to make a joke about this, except to say that this is the most unfortunate type I've ever seen in from a major news outlet. Here's the link.

Well done, Greg Ladky.
His penetration abilities are unmatched.
turning tight ends into wide receivers?
When he breaks through, he doesn't care what kind of back you are. He's gonna get in there and make you uncomfortable.
He doesn't care whether the QB has protection or not.

really enjoys having his way with offensive linemen. Mace wouldn't keep him away from his target.

Hits the hole with a quick burst. Keeps his legs driving until the play is over. Not afraid of a little contact.
Rape is serious business.
It's funny that you made a typo writing typo ("type").
Edit: To comment on the actual topic, that is terrible.
That's like rain on my wedding day if I've ever seen it.
When all you need is a knife?
It's like meeting the man of my dreams...and then meeting his beautiful wife......
..and I'm a guy!
It's like a no smoking sign on your cigarette break.

It figures.
There will be no shortage of +1s in this thread.
He fills the gaps in the line with perfection!
I wonder what was on the writer's mind? Apparently editors don't have to actually work at Rivals. I think I might try getting a job there.
I wonder what was on the writer's mind?I'm guessing: "Shitshitshit I'm late for my deadline by 15 minutes and late for tee time by 20 no time to proofread there done SEND."

Rape not only bad, but good.
no homo.
for failing to mention pad level
Much more satisfaction then those blooper reel rapes.
He should have sent it to Sparty.
He's got a future at Michigan State.

Says, "Rape? Relax!"
Too soon?

Maybe the kid actually did say "rape" by mistake and the author, having spent a lot of time in East Lansing recently, took it at face value.

Another witty Mgoblog thread. We should archive some of these.

But at least no one came in with the obligatory Terrell Pryor stuff...
We are maturing.
Maybe collectively, but my mind went straight to Pryor.
Those comments were really unfortunate--if you don't need things to amuse you like I do.

Rape, arson, murder and rape.
said rape twice.

I am still waiting for South Carolina to play Southern Cal... yes, so I can see if the Cocks can overpower the Trojans.... or .... the Cocks have a stiff line, can the Trojans hold them? Ok, too many of these to do, but I still would love to call that game on TV....
The Trojans will cover.
I went to the USC-Oregon St. game last season, and there were plenty of Trojan-Beaver jokes going around.
... Freudian slips.
The tape was either an audition for MSU or for a guest appearance on cops.
