we give it to you for bringing up that name when it was completely un-needed.
EDIT: This is MUCH better than what you originally posted, Brodie.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:14 PM ^
however,at his point,he is pointless.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:14 PM ^
This is exactly why Brian is about to implement a rating system. Crap like this is going to have you at the bottom faster than a… ah hell, I’ll let you finish that statement…everyone knows you are dying too!

I forgot this was a Michigan board for a second... I promise never to joke again. :(
December 8th, 2008 at 4:31 PM ^
Everyone appreciates a good joke or clever comment. Yours, unfortunately, was neither, imo.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:00 PM ^
It's not a good joke at all.
December 12th, 2008 at 5:37 PM ^
cold. the internet was built for pointless stuff. i approve of pointless justin boren pictures
December 8th, 2008 at 4:20 PM ^
I don't disagree with your post, but is there any relevance to this comment?
December 8th, 2008 at 4:21 PM ^
It's a joke... just a joke. To make people laugh... is it less relevant then "Hey fuck Jay Bilas for something he said a year ago"?
December 8th, 2008 at 4:25 PM ^
I didn't know if he had said something recently that I had missed and that's why it was being discussed. I think we're over it though, right?
December 8th, 2008 at 4:29 PM ^
That's the joke, it's random. I didn't follow the Boren saga with too much interest, but I guess it was a much bigger deal to most people than I imagined.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:31 PM ^
just so you know Brodie, since I know you said you didn't pay much attention to the Boren thing, it's a hot button issue with Michigan fans. It's easy to anger Michigan fans with Justin Boren talk.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:33 PM ^
I guess I thought that 9 months later people would be able to laugh at him instead of becoming angry at the mention of a mediocre lineman who quit because he was a spoiled little girl.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:16 PM ^
I don't think he's the biggest homo (Liberace is probably the biggest homo, according Guiness Book of World Records based on sphincter diameter) but he is a pretty big homo. I think this is why he is going to Ohio State - for a chance to be the starting center. Or to become Mr. Plow.
"What's that name - it's Mr. Plow, that name again - it's Mr. Plow"
December 8th, 2008 at 6:32 PM ^
Hulkster here. Just thought I would do my part as a Real American to point out that the premise that this joke was built upon - that the term "gay" is somehow negative or funny when applied to a football player - just can not continue to go unchecked if we wish to become an enlightened, progressive society.
Fight for what's right,
Hulk
December 8th, 2008 at 6:36 PM ^
Now that is funny.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:42 PM ^
I'm honestly 50/50 as to whether or not this is a joke. The fact there UM has a lot of hippie-liberals who would say something like that leads me to think he's begin serious. The Hulk picture votes for a joke. I'm still on the fence.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:50 PM ^
Whether or not it was intentional, I laughed.
December 8th, 2008 at 7:00 PM ^
If it was serious, that's even funnier.
December 8th, 2008 at 7:02 PM ^
I'd like to hear what Rowdy Roddy Piper has to say on the subject. You know. To get input from both sides on the issue.
December 12th, 2008 at 6:16 PM ^
"get input from both sides"
Thats what she said.

Playing the role of Santa Claus at a mall outside of Columbus. Free donuts on all 15 minute breaks.
Brodie meant to have a holiday tie in with his message but clicked on save prematurely.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:25 PM ^
You can rip a post on JB for me any time...and his father too (Benedict Boren).
December 8th, 2008 at 4:36 PM ^
A joke is an amusing story with a punchline. This is a joke:
"Werner Heisenberg gets pulled over by the police. The officer asks him, 'Do you have any idea how fast you were going? Heisenberg replies, 'No, but I know where I am!'"
"Justen Boren: big homo or biggest homo?"
is pointless and homophobic, but it is not a joke. If you're looking for a sophomoric giggle session, I recommend the WLA. Brian's posts have made this site popular because it's clear he puts some thought into them. Let's respect what makes MGoBlog great, and try to do the same.
(note: I am in no way attempting to imply that WLA posters do not put thought into their posts; I merely suggest that one reads the comment posts on that site looking for a different kind of entertainment than is provided here.)
December 8th, 2008 at 4:41 PM ^
I'm going to just go ahead and call bullshit on this post. Do you read half the shit that people post here?
December 8th, 2008 at 4:44 PM ^
how often do you see people get called out for it on this site? TomVH even posted a note a week or so ago saying one of his favorite things about this board is that we call each other out and hold each other accountable for what we say.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:47 PM ^
I saw a guy go on a whole paragraph rant about how gay it was when Les Miles took Will Campbell to look at the LSU campus and at my last look, nobody called it homophobic.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:51 PM ^
i just ran across that post. the first response to that was:
" Ugh
Your maturity is remarkable."
December 8th, 2008 at 4:53 PM ^
Good. As I said, I wasn't aware so many people were still so... for lack of a better term, bitter.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:54 PM ^
but i also don't want to be reminded of him anymore. that is all
December 8th, 2008 at 9:34 PM ^
If we didn't do so, it would soon be called; "Dandy Don's Recruiting Blog"
December 8th, 2008 at 4:56 PM ^
Joke (noun)
1. something said or done to provoke laughter or cause amusement, as a witticism, a short and amusing anecdote, or a prankish act.
Seems to me that if Brodie meant for the comment to provoke laughter, then it's a "joke" ... but semantics aside I'm sort of surprised at the hostility for this post. Maybe you don't think it's funny, but Brodie's intent wasn't ill-spirited (IMO). I guess the only gripe is the use of the word "homo". Idk, I guess I hear and read way more offensive things on a daily basis to take much offense to this.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:46 PM ^
You're under the impression that the obsession with Unicorns is joke.
We are deadly serious.
Deadly.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:52 PM ^
About unicorns.
December 8th, 2008 at 9:12 PM ^
Make no mistake, there is VERY little brain activity behind the nonsense found on WLA.
December 8th, 2008 at 4:47 PM ^
Brodie could have presented his post more professionally...but are you people ready for all of the attention Boren is going to get next November during the week of the OSU-M game? ESPN and every other God-forsaken 24 hour sports network is going to follow his every move before, during and after the game. There will be the interview with his mother and father along with his younger brother who RR did not want to recruit. The entire "family values" thing will be brought up again and pushed down our throat like that last piece of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving night. He is the only player to EVER transfer from M to OSU or vice-versa so he is special alright. He could have left quietly and stated he had other goals but he did not do so. What he did was dishonorable so excuse Brodie for calling him a homo; this is not correct. He is a flaming skidoosh.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:34 PM ^
Not the first. WW2
December 8th, 2008 at 4:56 PM ^
Yes, this is more my view on the issue as well. As far as I'm concerned JB is just another o-lineman on OSU that I couldn't give 2 shits about.
December 8th, 2008 at 7:34 PM ^
There's the punch line!
December 8th, 2008 at 4:54 PM ^
not funny.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:00 PM ^
do you mean largest as in fattest, or biggest as in quantity of partners?
December 8th, 2008 at 5:06 PM ^
Now that is funny.
Fattest, we all know J-Bore couldn't even land a date with Brady Quinn.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:21 PM ^
That's a joke!
But it might be mean, because I think Brady Quinn is actually gay.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:14 PM ^
He does eat cock like it's pizza apparently.
And Brady Quinn is obviously gay as his Metrx commercials have all but confirmed. He probably pounds a few protein shakes after doing the deed - from his partners anus.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:21 PM ^
... try some.
The level of hate rained upon Brodie fails to match the stupidity of his joke.
December 8th, 2008 at 5:58 PM ^
it was funnier than hell. Good job Brodie. But remember, we're on the interwebs, people can get offended very easily from some obscure poster, especially when they are gay themselves.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:07 PM ^
If it's not funny to talk about gay people, I demand a moratorium on Charlie Weis discussions.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:29 PM ^
bitching about this post are retarded.
That is all.
December 8th, 2008 at 6:45 PM ^
i just want to be the 40th response
