Winston knee
October 10th, 2009 at 1:17 PM ^
That slow-mo replay was so painful to watch
October 10th, 2009 at 1:17 PM ^
A.J. Sturges is smiling.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:25 PM ^
Torn ACL
October 10th, 2009 at 1:38 PM ^
Can't say I'm happy about this, but can't say I feel bad, either.
I'm with Magnus, karma's a bitch. With Caper also a bit banged up in this game, does it become the Edwin Baker show?
October 10th, 2009 at 1:55 PM ^
i'm glad he blew out his knee. I hope he never plays again,he's a piece of shit human being. negbomb me all you want,I just call it how I see. Hope the same thing happens to Vick!
October 10th, 2009 at 2:07 PM ^
Instead of rooting for them to get hurt, why not hope that they can pull out all the stops (both on and off the field, except for Winston on the field) to earn back the respect of society?
I hope that Vick and Winston make it happen off the field and do good things for the world.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:13 PM ^
Life can be hard but your a moron if your an adult and choose to beat people almost to death and kill x# of dogs. Some people are just shit there whole life and i choose not to root for people like that. If they get straight thats all good but I choose to laugh when bad shit happens to them.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:28 PM ^
And don't disagree with you 100%, however....we can talk about growing up in the ghetto as disadvantaged youths, being part of a society that doesn't frown on dog fighting etc....
But the fact of the matter is this: The world is a better place if these two men correct their mistakes and contribute to society.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:35 PM ^
the world is a better place if these guys or people like them get right. But all things being said people like Winston and Vick choose these life choices and more than likely will always be shit. There is a reason why 90% of people in prison have been there before. Some people for whatever reason are shitty people and there for I dont have a "soft" spot for these worthless asses.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:27 PM ^
I'm with you maybe a little bit on the whole Winston is a piece of shit thing, but you can't call someone a moron two words away from using the incorrect form of you're.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:25 PM ^
Ironic that you of all people are calling someone a moron.
you are=YOU'RE.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:08 PM ^
Me too.
Although I want Winston to get healthy, join the NFL and get a fat contract. Then AJ can sue Winston for every penny he has.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:31 PM ^
Classy.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
Does anyone see the irony here?
October 10th, 2009 at 4:17 PM ^
The same fanbase that cheered Stanton's injury in 2005 is now cheering another Spartan's injury, despite repeated claims that they don't care about MSU? That's a little ironic, I guess.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:22 PM ^
bad apples man
October 10th, 2009 at 4:23 PM ^
by association then, right? So I must be guilty too. I guess if we do that, all Spartan fans are jerks since you are.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:26 PM ^
Nothing better to do than troll your rival's main message board?
Quite the life you lead!
October 10th, 2009 at 4:28 PM ^
I see you've accumulated over 2000 "mgopoints". You, too, lead a fascinating life.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:33 PM ^
"AND YOU CAN COUNT ON ME, WAITING FOR YOU IN THE PARKING LOT!"
You don't see me trolling RCMB or SpartyMSU intentionally stirring the pot. So while I may spend a decent amount of time on MGoBlog, um, it's my team's main football blog/board, what's your reason for being here? Once again, quite the life you must lead.
October 10th, 2009 at 4:41 PM ^
I really don't mind fans from other teams coming here, even if they aren't the nicest or are maybe rude at times. But for something like this, it is pretty clear that the people here who are happy about this guy getting hurt are in the minority. Obviously, some are, and they are being negged accordingly. Your job as an opposing fan isn't to correct problems that are clearly being dealt with by us already with the points system and even chastising responses. It's not like you are going to successfully change the opinion of everyone you agree with on here, and the intelligent ones you hypothetically want to interact with already have intelligent opinions. All this being said, I don't really get why Michigan fans would like Winston any less than MSU fans do.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:01 PM ^
I attended the 2004 game (Stanton was healthy in '05). No one cheered his injury. It occurred on a third-down stop, so people cheered the play, but when it was clear Stanton was injured, the stadium went silent. The idea that we celebrated his injury is a Spartan urban legend.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:30 PM ^
Karma is a bitch.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:38 PM ^
I usually hate to see any player get injured, but in his case, I am not upset. I actually feel he deserves it.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:44 PM ^
Negbang me if you want, but he's a human being who has possibly just had his season ended prematurely. Have some empathy! Imagine how frustrating that would be were it one of our players, regardless of off field issues. I'm no Glenn Winston apologist, but come on...this post makes you look like a vindictive jerk.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:56 PM ^
Maybe he can go back and finish off his jail sentence.
October 10th, 2009 at 7:23 PM ^
So was the hockey player who he beat up. Imagine how frustrating it would be to be that guy.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:41 PM ^
He may be a thug who shouldn't be out there in the first place . . . but I don't wish an injury that like on anyone.
I don't exactly feel sorry for Dantonio for losing this guy, though.
October 10th, 2009 at 1:53 PM ^
ACL injuries =CRAP, trust me, i tore mine and it garbage, even after recovery. They take a over a year to recover 100%, not the 6 months like most say. It is 6 months if you shoot yourself with Painkillers and stuff
October 10th, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
Did it to both of mine and was going full strength 6 months on one and 10 on the other. SOunds like you just couldn't stand the pain, I was putting pressure on my knee the same day of the surgery wuss.
October 10th, 2009 at 7:32 PM ^
I'm just saying
but did you try playing after the injury. I manned up and played with mine torn and a partially torn meniscus for a week+, then the Coach ordered me to have it checked out.
Can't tolerate pain my a$$
Maybe it's the rehab and PT they had me doing that has slowed my process. But I was completely cleared to play 7 months after surgery and am not yet up to the speed I was prior to surgery
October 10th, 2009 at 2:03 PM ^
until after year two.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:11 PM ^
BTN is saying it's just a sprain.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:20 PM ^
There's no way of knowing this early. You have to get an MRI. They probably won't know until Monday. Right now you have to say it's a "sprain."
October 10th, 2009 at 2:22 PM ^
I just love their optimism.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:19 PM ^
Sparty's RB's are going down like crazy today. Caper is back in, but he looked pretty banged up early. Now they lost Jimmerson.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:19 PM ^
anything the BTN has to say?
October 10th, 2009 at 4:44 PM ^
It was (#41) "Glenn Wilson" returning the opening kickoff and "Wilson" on the first carry of the game... How can college football broadcasters screw up names with such regularity?
See:
Craig Roth
Craig RAW
i know there were others...
October 10th, 2009 at 6:49 PM ^
Glad someone else noticed. They called him "Wilson" at least three times that I heard. The Big Ten Network announcers, as a whole, are fucking terrible.
Also, I'm with Magnus on this, Karma is a motherlover.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:27 PM ^
I wouldn't wish this on someone, but I'm not really all that torn up about it. (Pun originally not intended, but on second thought, yes, intended.)
October 10th, 2009 at 2:33 PM ^
It sucks the way he was hurt, but as far as I am concerned it is karma doing what Dantonio wouldn't.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
Nobody deserves this, even if the guy is a jerk. It is one thing to want him to be limited to 40-ish yards and no TDs; it is to be happy to see his season (and potentially his career) over on a single play.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:13 PM ^
why is everyone up in arms about defending this notion?
You're telling me that if a serial killer sprained his knee, you'd be sitting there saying, darn, that poor guy....?
I realize that this is less than that, but I don't like Michigan state players or fans, and I don't like criminals. Why is this SO different? It's not like this guy's life is over if he can't play football anymore.
October 10th, 2009 at 6:36 PM ^
Um, the guy got into a fight and beat up another State student/athlete. Yes, it was a thug move and I am not happy that he is playing for MSU this year (alum and all), but people can make mistakes and still turn out to be decent people. And even if he winds up always being a jerk, I don't see how tearing an ACL is proper comeuppance. He served months in jail - that seems like a proper punishment.
I don't think he is a good guy, but it sounds like football may be one of the few things he is reasonably good at. To no longer have that in his life, my guess is that he won't turn to academics or something productive, but may instead revert to the same self-destructive tendencies that landed him in jail in the first place.
October 10th, 2009 at 9:51 PM ^
doesn't help me much, I wish people were less kind to bad people, and more judgemental. The level of stupidity and freedom of being an asshole is too prevalent so I don't give a crap about defending this guy.
However, I do agree that your notion of this being an improper punishment could be a winning argument. Not sure that it's right as the karma is a bitch post received a lot of points, but it could be.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:51 PM ^
I only care about players that don't deserve to be in jail.
October 10th, 2009 at 3:02 PM ^
he will be able to play again.
October 10th, 2009 at 2:57 PM ^
I would normally feel bad for anyone that this may happen to, but not "Glenn fastest when running between jail and the practice field Winston."
