OT: Is there a new Hulk on the block?
I thought we could use a little humor on a Friday. Here's a funny Yahoo! Sports story for you. Free agent to be LaRon Landry has apparently been hitting the weights pretty hard during his injury rehab. I like the fake letter to his suitors. While he is crazy big for a SAFETY, I still don't think he can take "Hulk" from our man Martin.
"Also, I wear gloves while using the restroom."

Mike Martin would eat him.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:05 AM ^
The real Hulk has been informed of your blasphemy and is on his way to smash you.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:11 AM ^
I heard MSU built a Hulk prototype, but he was permanently green, stayed the same size, and only got angry enough to burn couches. He never saw the field...
February 24th, 2012 at 8:12 AM ^
performance enhancing drugs are bad.......mmmmkay
February 24th, 2012 at 8:24 AM ^
But why teacher.....why?
vvvvc
February 24th, 2012 at 9:03 AM ^
I remember when him and greg skrepanek(sp) were like the biggest lineman ever for being 320ish. Now we got dudes are in the 350s.

February 24th, 2012 at 8:42 AM ^
...and I say "borderline" because I'll #1 always be a Lions fan. But I like Vick, Avant, Graham, etc.
I can tell you, Laron Landry is overrated.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:06 AM ^
Lions "fans" always have another team.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:19 AM ^
However, I'm a diehard MICHIGAN fan first and foremost...so I just root for Michigan players more than anything else.
With that said, being born and partially raised (until high school) in Detroit. The Pistons, Lions, Tigers and Wings will always be my #1 pro teams.
Nonetheless, you are right, I have a #2 and even #3 team in all of pro sports except for pro hockey.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:31 AM ^
I think some of us, myself included, use the term "fan" too easily. I'm a "fan" of the Bills and Sabres because my dad is from Buffalo. However, I'm more emotionally tied to the Patriots because of Brady and, I'll admit it, they are relevant in the NFL today. The Bills were fun (and agonizing) to root for when I was in HS and they went to 4 straight SB's. Not so much the last two decades.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:44 AM ^
February 24th, 2012 at 10:19 AM ^
Amen.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:53 AM ^
Prior to the Lions reaching the level of decent: You watch Michigan on Saturday to see football. You watch the Lions on Sunday to laugh.
It's easy being a Lions fan when you aren't emtionally invested in them winning. Just watch it for the hilarity.
February 24th, 2012 at 12:08 PM ^
oh so you think the Lions where funny huh!
I'm a Browns fan.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:08 AM ^
No second favorite team here. All Honolulu blue and silver, baby.
February 24th, 2012 at 12:10 PM ^
Agreed. I'm a Lions fan first and only. I have other teams I like to watch/follow, almost always because of ex-Wolverines, but I don't get invested in those teams like I do the Lions.
Also - Laron Landry is a monster. But it's not like he wasn't a monster a year or two ago either. He's no Mike Martin, but I wouldn't fuck with him either.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:52 AM ^
anyone can still like Mike Vick is beyond me.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:54 AM ^
I would plus 1,000,000 you if I could for this video! I was at that game with my dad who had just returned from a year + in Baghdad and what a great homecoming (obvious Eagles fans)! Thanks for the reminder as that memory will always be a good one.
February 24th, 2012 at 8:43 AM ^
This guy probably has muscles in his shit.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:07 AM ^
Well he doesn't need to wash his hands after going to the bathroom...thanks to his awesome gloves
February 24th, 2012 at 9:14 AM ^
Posting self-pics of yourself striking a pose in the bathroom is something teen age girls do when they get their boobies (which Landry seems to have accomplished). Congratulations on getting your period, Laron.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:15 AM ^
tweeting pics of yourself. Narcissism is a wonderful thing.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:30 AM ^
1. He isn't a 14 year old girl
2. He would crush the phone when he pushed the button to take the picture.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:31 AM ^
Violate the MGobewbz policy? Please tell me that it does so that no one gets cute and posts that awful picture of Terrence Cody to try and compare their cup sizes..........
February 24th, 2012 at 9:43 AM ^
OMGShirtless > MGoBewbz
Edit: I mean the policy trumps it, not that I'd rather see manboobs!February 24th, 2012 at 9:39 AM ^
Is that a Red Wings hat? Maybe this guy isn't so bad after all.
February 24th, 2012 at 9:51 AM ^
of Marla Gibbs on his chest? That's the burning question.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:28 AM ^
I'm really trying not to break out the "These kids today" bullcrap (because it isn't just kids). I'm trying to understand...can someone explain to me the tattoo infatuation? I can't see why you'd want one tattoo...but...whatever. Why on earth would you want to cover yourself from head to toe with tats?
If you're a kid, I get the whole superficial rebellion thing. Seriously, go right and dye your hair whatever color you want. Shave it, spike it, dread it...whatever. Go nuts. The rest of us don't take you seriously anyway. But: 1) It will grow back and 2) you're a kid.
Why would someone old enough to buy beer willfully deface themselves like a brick wall in south central? What's the appeal? It's your body...do with it what you will. But what's the appeal?

There have actually been some good MGoDiscussions on the nature of tattoos and their popularity. Personally, I'm 22 and agree with you to an extent, even though I'm planning on getting one (or two, depending how you look at it, I want two important lines of text on the back of my shoulder in black ink). I know some people who have spent a ton of money on a lot of tattoos, and I don't really get that either, but like you said, it's their body.
There's some good discussion about a wolverine tattoo here:

He should ask David Boston how this ends.
February 24th, 2012 at 11:33 AM ^
Someone might be on your lawn. You might want to check.
Like I said, I'm trying to understand and NOT be that guy.
February 24th, 2012 at 12:06 PM ^
The other photo in the article is even crazier. You can see how big his bicep really is. I think its circumference is larger than my waist.
February 24th, 2012 at 12:33 PM ^
Dude's pretty big but also understand that he just worked out so he's got a pump going on. That's also the reason he's wearing gloves in the bathroom.
February 24th, 2012 at 12:52 PM ^
Good for him - he'll have a great second career as a mediocre professional wrestler after people realize that he still sucks at playing safety and those added muscles won't change his ability to tackle anyone.
David Boston did the same thing a couple of years ago, and was out of the league after his body fell apart.
February 24th, 2012 at 1:32 PM ^
Taking a shirtless pic of yourself in the mirror. I will never understand that.
