- Whether YOU think it's a good goal is irrelevant. The thing he is trying to become (i.e. the best thing in the history of things) is inarguably a good thing to be.
- EVERYONE uses external motivation. Trying to say that internal motivation is the only "good" motivation is complete crap. Everyone is motivated to impress/prove right/prove wrong/make jealous/make happy/piss off/etc. other people.
- You know how people come to be known as the best of all time? By BEING the best of all time.
- 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

Just send me your credit card number at chunkylover53@aol.com, and I'll tell you everything I know. Failing that, I'd go with 247. Steve Aquamendous does a damn fine job still. |

We are juvenile and neolithic in plenty of ways, but I'm shocked more people haven't come down on the correct side of the "is rape shaming okay" debate. |

From a pretty wise source on quality cornerback play, what it takes to succeed as an athlete at the highest levels, and fitting in with Michigan football culture:

Good lord you were able to glean a lot about Jabrill Peppers' motivations, training techniques, plans, and psyche from like 120 seconds worth of interview soundbytes. I applaud your wisdom. |

Okay, NOW I call BS:
Three things: This kid is at the top of the universe for his age. He wants to project that forward and stay on that track. Whether or not that is realistic, and whether it is boastful, it is very positive. |

He has great grades, and was being recruited pretty hard by Stanford, and had Northwestern and Notre Dame offers. People seem pretty comfortable with that side of things. |

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?" |

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. |

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. |
| 1 day 15 hours 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. |

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..." |

I apologize for condoning rape. Because that's absolutely what I did. |
| 2 days 12 hours 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: 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. |

I wasn't aware I could retroactively cause Dave Chappelle to leave his show nine years ago. |

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. |

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. |

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. |

Heiko's Part 2 (Borges Harder) was not ready. Otherwise I would have happily waited on this. |

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. |
