Peppers and Legs - MGoBlog Rhyme Crime 1108

Submitted by chatster on
This hasn’t been a real great week
For Mich-i-gan fans feeling weak,
Though on that home-game winning streak,
Despite an O line prone to leak.
What’s next to come with autumn’s chill?
More condemnation overkill?
Well, if you’ve not been feeling ill,
You now can worry ‘bout Jabrill.
Team One Three Five’s recruiting prize
Has spasms from his calves to thighs.
Paramus Catholic’s big-time run
Possibly for now is done.
Paladins' hopes to be state champs
‘Now rest with Peppers and leg cramps.

Well that was a little bit overblown. I thought this was gonna be about Peppers looking around. But this has probably been one of my worst weeks ever. So hopefully tomorrow is a nice day and I can enjoy some tailgating and enjoy The Big House to the fullest with a victory tomorrow.

Has been Bando Calrissian saying, "I don't get it!" . . . While MGoBlog threads roll on like an army of steamrollers, some of my threads have been erased like a blackboard, rewritten and erased again. . . . For better or verse, I might stick around here until I head off to heaven . . . or Iowa.  Isn't that where heaven is?

And having lived many years longer than you (and maybe more than twice your age), I am fairly confident that I safely can survive constant insults from someone who wrote the Southeast Michigan Sports Blog that contained such incredibly creative entries as “The ‘official’ SEMS Hate Week Drinking Game” and such insightful comments as: “Life got in the way of typing dick jokes” and “So take that 8th grade English teacher.  Reading Shakespeare WAS useless.”

I recognize that you're far more prolific a poster to this board than I am, so when you've convinced the moderators to advise me to, "Make like a tree . . . and get outta here," then I'll leave.  Okay with you, Biff?

You’re welcome.  Clicking on your website brought me all the joy of being RickRoll’d, but then I understood why I’d be better off to just “give you up” instead of clicking there ever again.
 
One more thing.  About that “kindergarten poetry?”  I've also written lyrics for a band whose members – some of whom may be known even to you – have complimented me for my writing. (Oh wait; a couple of them are only in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.  What would those guys know?)  And then there was the time when a rhyme of mine helped win an argument in a landmark decision from the highest appellate court of the state where I’ve been practicing law for more years than you’ve been alive. (Pfft.  That state’s only got around 20 million people living in it  What would those judges know?)
 
I’d say that “your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries,” but I suppose you wouldn’t consider that to be kindergarten-ish enough.  And I'd prefer not to engage in a war of insults. 
 
So, you may have the last word here. Insult away with your abusive Yak Attacks. No doubt, they will be first class.

He will be fine. College level trainers/docs will get his eating, drinking dialed in very quickly. I race bikes and cramping in the fall has been a constant issue with me for years. It is very frustrating. I tried everything but found that getting a good warm up, sodium and compression socks have worked best.

...start writing about the prenatal development of the offspring of Michigan players because of the proclivity of legacy S-As to sign with their dad's team. Next step after that, following the marriage patterns of daughters of prominent athlete's to predict teenage offspring heights, weights and 40 times. We can't forget about grandchildren.

It sounds like the problem has been taken care of.  Things like this are almost always an issue of nutrition.  He is a high school athlete, afterall.  M's trainers and doctors on staff will continue the work his doctor started, and make sure he's on a proper diet for college football. He plays offense and defense in high school.  It's less likely he'll be doing that in college.  Which will make it easier to keep him hydrated during games as well.  This should be a non-issue.
