Mike Valenti

I remember when Pope John Paul II died. Mike Valenti said "I'm glad he's dead" live on the radio. Ever since then I have no respect for him. True story

Can you imagine if RR tried to hide a football player on a track scholarship. The Freep would go crazy. If anything this should be a ncaa violation.

Drew, get off your ass and write a story about Miami.

It was the most incredible display of basketball I have ever witnessed in my life. Michigan was the defending national champion. And, no way would a bunch of long hair surfer dudes run them out of a gym. THE HORROR, THE HORROR.

i have - 18 points; I can't start a new topic. From the Sporting News college Football. "He made some decisions, and everybody makes mistakes," former Michigan receiver Toney Clemons said. "Now, this is year No. 3, and he's got another great class coming in. It's his show, and he's got to win games."Clemons, who transferred to Colorado before speaking out against the workload Michigan football placed on its players. "They're not going to change too much," Clemons said. "Any Rich Rodriguez-Mike Barwis (director of strength and conditioning) team will work to the limit. It's all about fast and physical."

if i could give you a +1 i would.

rr

i don't think rr will be a head coach again,if he is fired at mich. At the most he could be a offensive coordinator. Why would a school put themselves through this.

The Freep and Ethics
Posted by Tater comments (3)
Well, the news became "official" on WTKA this morning. As broken by TOB on the MM chat last night, the freep lied to Demer Dorsey about the intent of their story by telling him they were going to write a "redemption" story, but lied and chose instead to use his interview as part of yet another installment of their fusilade of Phillipics against the University of Michigan.

As they should be, the Dorsey family and Dorsey's HS coach are extremely upset by this utter lack of ethics on the part of the freep. According to TOB and TKA, The Wolverine tried to contact Dorsey to give him a chance to air his side of the story, and his HS coach said that his family is so upset with the Freep won't allow him to talk to any more reporters.

I truly hope that the Dorsey family reads the UM sports blogs and decides to give somebody, anybody, an interview. If they peruse the main blogs, they will definitely see that most of the UM blogoshpere is almost as angry with the freep as they are. Hopefully, they will sort through the blogs and decide to contact whichever one they decide will treat them fairly. We all know three or four blogs who could do a wonderful interview with Dorsey.

In a move that is woefully deficient in even Journalism 101 ethics or professionalism, the freep has chosen to lie to a HS student and use their media as a bully pulpit for their anti-RR, anti-UM agenda. Apparently, the freep cares nothing about the effects of their lies and malicious intent upon an 18 year-old trying to better himself or the family that is trying to support his goals.

The freep is a pile of toxic waste. It should be isolated, neutralized, quarantined, and buried so deep that Jimmy Hoffa will turn up before it is ever seen again. They lie, they cheat, they maliciously attack those to whom they are supposed to show objectivity, and they do it all for personal reasons. Inexplicably, their overwhelmed and intellectually overmatched editor continues to allow the freep to make a mockery of the journalstic standards they are sworn to uphold.

I can only hope that the freep either mercy-kills itself or visits Dr Kevorkian. It obviously won't be around in another year or two, anyway, but someone needs to step in and minimize the damage they are doing to the innocent citizens they abuse in the name of "reporting."

If there is anyone here who doesn't boycott the freep, please start. And please tell all of your friends who are UM fans to do the same. Even if you want to make your opinion heard, don't do it there. First of all, they don't care what you think. Secondly, each time you click on anything they write it makes them money, either directly or indirectly.

The final and most important reason for boycotting the freep: you will be smarter for not having read it.
