1 hour 17 min ago	FWIW	Woodson was a running back in high school, and was recruited as such by a bunch of schools. I'd imagine he'll see both sides of the ball, but the kid looks for all the world like what a corner would look like if you could mold one from scratch. I suppose there are worse problems to have than "where should we put our freak athlete?"
1 hour 24 min ago	Agree to disagree	He's not saying how good he IS. He's saying how good he WANTS to be. How can you not want someone to embrace that as a goal? There's never really a way to know if someone is a Tate Forcier want-to-be-great-but-don't-want-to-work-hard-for-it kind of kid, but JP is expressing a desire to improve, and is doing so in a frank and respectful manner. I'm cool with that. In my mind, that's Tiger Woods' very public goal of beating Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 career majors. It isn't to denegrate Jack or his competition, but rather to say that if you want to be the best, you have to embrace the challenge such a mission entails.
1 hour 51 min ago	BASHING: COMMENCED	If you want to say he needs to avoid celebration penalties/getting caught from behind on breakaways/generally showboating, sure. That's a legitimate thing. But by all accounts, this kid is as "mature" as anyone in the class, and has his head on as squarely as anyone you'd care to compare him to.
3 hours 36 min ago	Good point	But you have to list SOME negatives. That's Scouting Report 101 If you can find something else to ding in this kid's game, I'm all ears.
4 hours 55 min ago	Amazing story	I feel like medical dramas are going to be a little different in this brave new world: "DAMNIT doctor, we got another PC Load Letter error..."
21 hours 13 min ago	Josh Rosen	#5.  Yesterday's offer: validated.
1 day 8 min ago	Yup	I apologize for condoning rape. Because that's absolutely what I did.
1 day 58 min ago	So... yeah	I am not mocking cultural norms. I'm mocking the extent to which this video COMPLETELY BOTCHES those cultural norms. And I'm mocking the fact that it is a legitimately terrible video. Here's a pretty comprehensive list of everything I mocked in this piece: The fact that they filmed it in (a) a shed, and (b) a pavilion in a park His blatant drug use/references at a time in which he was still pledged to play D1 football at a school where OF COURSE they wouldn't be cool with that. The ridiculous repetition of his name The camera work The awkward guy in the video The NSFW-ness of the video (again where MSU obviously wasn't gonna be cool with it) The fact that his lyrics don't match up to his lip syncing The fact that MSU lost Drake Harris The ridiculously long fade-out A guy made a hilariously bad video. If he'd been white or made a similarly bad video in a different genre under similar circumstances, I'd still be making fun of it. You're pretty much calling this thing racist. No... not pretty much. You are calling it racist. And I deny that fact.
1 day 1 hour ago	Please to elaborate	I wasn't aware I could retroactively cause Dave Chappelle to leave his show nine years ago.
1 day 2 hours ago	Six months old today
1 day 17 hours ago	Yes	Yes
1 day 18 hours ago	Nah	When you announce in a very public fashion that you are leaving football to focus on your rap career, and you start doing radio interviews trying to publicizing your rap career, you forfeit the right to not be mercilessly mocked for your rap career.
1 day 18 hours ago	Darn	I shall retreat to my Shed of Shame. It's right next to my Shed of Triumph, and behind my Shed of Garden Tools. I shall remain there fo life.
1 day 18 hours ago	Hey, you never know...	They could have been on the rough side of ths gate.
1 day 18 hours ago	My bad	Sorry this took so long. The galleys didn't come back from the focus group until Thursday, and with the MGoEditorialBoard schedule and mandatory 72 hour comment period, this was as fast as I could get this out.
1 day 20 hours ago	For the record	Heiko's Part 2 (Borges Harder) was not ready. Otherwise I would have happily waited on this.
2 days 31 min ago	Meh	Until the fullback doesn't line up between the quarterback and the halfback, the whole "is the nickelback a nickelback" thing doesn't concern me.
2 days 13 hours ago	Don't include Matt James on that list	He was killed in an accident as a high school senior.
2 days 20 hours ago	Simple	Buy low, sell NOW!!!!
5 days 20 hours ago	In fairness	He wasn't complaining about the students when the students bothered to SHOW THE HELL UP TO FOOTBALL GAMES.
6 days 34 min ago	I dunno...	You don't think the chrome helmets might be a bit much with the maize jerseys?
6 days 52 min ago	Yeah	Who would give that kind of attention to Twitter losers with five followers? /whistles innocently, backs away slowly
1 week 2 hours ago	Relevant	http://www.theonion.com/articles/i-am-under-18-button-clicked-for-first-...
1 week 1 day ago	Yikes	No one has ever been exiled to the darkest caves of Bolivia's Cave District before. Hope you're a spelunking fan...
1 week 2 days ago	Hmmm	I don't think you know the regard in which Brian holds Marlin Jackson.  "Poor Man's Marlin Jackson" is the fourth highest rating, behind only "Poor Man's Charles Woodson," "Marlin Jackson," and "Charles Woodson."

1 week 2 days ago	Hmmm...	"He'll have to wrest the job away from Jeremy Clark and possibly Thomas; I think he will." Methinks you buried the lede...
1 week 3 days ago	Sarcasm	Sparty and the Buckeyes were suggesting we chased Ringer off to get under the scholly limit.
2 weeks 59 min ago	That's different	Kovacs was on his own dime for two years (and as an out-of-state student no less).
2 weeks 1 day ago	Nice	As Broyd Hokarr would say, "tremendous."
