SI cover references "Mike" Dantonio

People still read magazines? Rosenberg is still employed? Why is nobody noticing they misspelled D'antoni's LAST name?

 disrespekt becomes real.  I mean, this is absurd.  What do you have to do?

I work in a school, which of course is full of proud Spartans.  I sent this to some of the proudest.  Meanwhile I am  laughing so hard I am crying.  They are IN THE FREAKIN' PLAYOFF, and still SI gets his name wrong?  This is the second-most awesome thing I've seen on MGoBlog today.  (Kareem is first, of course.)  

 

I'm sure Nate Saban, Boob Stoops, and Day-Glo Sweeney have his back.  

Nice try.  Not working.

I'd say there's a damn good chance Dantonio persuaded SI to screw that up on purpose. It furthers his disrespekt mantra.

On one hand it's very funny.  On the other hand, Sparty made the cover of SI ... .

Net net?  This is plenty funny.

There's gotta be a Twitter parody account with all of the variations of his name, right?

If not, I would start it, but then I feel like I'd be little brother. We don't do that kind of thing. 

Right?

 

...

 

Can I please do it?

this CANNOT be coincidence

This is honestly hilarious and absurd. How can that continue to happen?

This is just another bullet in the chamber for Dantonio.

He gets to keep playing the disrespect card until the cows come home. Hell, people are already counting MSU out vs Alabama. That's like throwing gasoline on the fire.

As funny as that might be,  there is another editor or two that does the cover .

It's still damned funny!

For a school and fanbase that can't spell, why is this an issue? 

from the article, 

"It's hardly the first time Dantonio's name has been butchered. The most notable was during a trip to ESPN late last summer when hosts called him Mike and his name was spelled wrong on the screen. On top of that, ESPN showed footage of Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh as Dantonio spoke."

this is astoundingly poor editorial management for a publication like SI. Don't these nimrods believe in proofreading?

This kind of thing is exactly why MSU will never be taken seriously as a major program.  A magazine with 23 million daily readers doesn't even care enough to spellcheck the coach's name.

Wouldn't surprise me if they did this on purpose.

His name has been Mike this whole time. People have been calling him Mark ever since Saban started calling him the wrong name and he never corrected him. IMO, Mike Dantonio is finally getting the credit he deserves. R-E-S-P-E-K-T

The state penitentiary stencil font is fitting.

I wonder if he will use this as motivation?

I know many Michigan fans will find this funny because of MSU but to me it's just another indictment of how shitty maintstream publications have become because this is normal. The slopiness in which they report and present info is amazing but not surprising given the people they hire. How the likes of Jay Mariotti, Skip Bayless, Peter King and countless others are entrusted with giving insight to anything is sad. Many write articles how I wrote term papers, last minute and using questionable internet or "anonymous sources".

There are four coaches in the playoff, it cannot be that hard to double check the names before putting their names on the cover of your publication. If you cannot do that effectively why should I drop $5 on your publication? 

I mean, do we really know what his first name is? 

Before I saw this thread, my Spartan "people I know" (won't call them friends) sent me the photo bitching up a storm. That's just great

As much as I can't stand Sparty, this isn't their problem.  It is the media.  I seem to remember John Harbaugh's name or picture being substituted for Jim - so it happens.  He probably dopesn't care - adds to his disrespekt belief.

look awful.  How do you not the know of the name of one of the best coaches in the country? 

Embarrassing.

No respect...even being in the playoff.  They must be freaking out

That SI cover gaffe will rouse Dantonio and his Spartans to kick the crap out of that evil Mick Saban.
