12 weeks 4 days ago	Hell yeah!!!	Hell yeah!!!
24 weeks 6 days ago	Kay	He's actually going to be there next year. He petitioned the NCAA for a 6th year due to injuries and got the waiver accepted last week. JeffB
1 year 2 weeks ago	To me, the most extraordinary	To me, the most extraordinary thing about Lidstrom is that he (and the wongs) never missed the playoffs during his career.
1 year 7 weeks ago	If you look at his twitter	If you look at his twitter feed, there's at least a couple of people who question his ethics (yellow journalism, vendetta, etc) and he replies with "if you have questions about my reporting Shoot me an email....mrosenberg at freepress dot com" Sounds like a challenge to me.
1 year 7 weeks ago	Interesting that she has	Interesting that she has since deleted her tweet to you saying that (assuming that, as it doesn't appear to be be on her timeline)
1 year 7 weeks ago	Is Millen back in charge?	Is Millen back in charge? WR?
1 year 7 weeks ago	Gotta live how the Lions'	Gotta live how the Lions' pick has been in for 5 minutes, and we have to wait because of the pictures and crap for the previous dude. WTF
1 year 7 weeks ago	Mel's hair	Not only is it smoove, it is schmoooveeee
1 year 7 weeks ago	I agree, but wouldn't he have	I agree, but wouldn't he have been there at 4? All indications were that Minnesota would take the OT
1 year 7 weeks ago	It's for Richardson, not the	It's for Richardson, not the OT
1 year 7 weeks ago	Right	Giving up a 4, 5, and 7 to move up one spot is right? They must've had some good info that someone else was going to trade with minnesota to beat them to give that much.
1 year 8 weeks ago	Penalties	Given how ugly and cheap this series has been, I don't think it's a surprise the refs are calling this one tight (wouldn't surprise me if they were told to do so by NHL HQ). They started the game calling it tight, and at least they're being consistent both ways in that regard.
1 year 12 weeks ago	Denard	I was reading the transcript and thinking the same thing. Not only may (will) he end up as my favorite Michigan QB of all time, but maybe my favorite Michigan football player of all time. JeffB
1 year 15 weeks ago	Sports background	Played FB in high school only in 10th grade, and wasn't good. My best sport was basketball - played through high school and was a part-time starter for two years at a Class B school. No where near good enough to go on - plus, not too many college opportunities for a 6'3" center.
1 year 15 weeks ago	I think I'm the third person	I think I'm the third person to say Two-Hearted tonight.
1 year 16 weeks ago	And Brad Keselowski is live	And Brad Keselowski is live tweeting from his car during the red flag.
1 year 16 weeks ago	That's how I read it as well.	That's how I read it as well. Kickoffs and post-safety kicks to the 25, punts and turnovers to the 20
1 year 16 weeks ago	Helmet	As I read the helmet coming off rule change, if it comes off due to an opposing player penalty (facemask or twist or personal foul or something) then the player that loses the helmet does NOT need to come off the field. I think this is more for when a back or receiver's helmet come of due to a big hit, to do a quick concussion check.
1 year 20 weeks ago	OE 800	Drinking OE800. Just kidding, although that is what I drank in school when we were digging change from the couch. It's really Bells Two Hearted
1 year 21 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	This might be the most f----d picture I've seen in my life, and that's saying something.
1 year 21 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	Bells Two Hearted, one of my favorite beers
1 year 21 weeks ago	Ginger ale	Only counts if it's Vernors
1 year 28 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	Houston lost yesterday, so no BCS bowl for them.
1 year 28 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	CBS Sports is now reporting Va Tech to Sugar, updating their previous reports.
1 year 29 weeks ago	Tebow	The thing with recruiting Tebow is that, and Urban has said this, is that the main recruiter was our own Greg Mattison. Meyer called him (Greg) the beat recruiter he's worked with.
1 year 29 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	Fuck yeah!!
1 year 33 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	How the f--- was that dude that wide open in the end zone? Plus, that ball was hanging for like 20 seconds.
1 year 33 weeks ago	Kickoff	Derp
1 year 33 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	What, if you say something negative about Lloyd Carr, that automatically means that you're not appreciative of the his positives? Look, the guy is human. He has good and bad qualities. Whether the good outweighs the bad depends on how everyone weighs different qualities, different characteristics. JeffB
1 year 33 weeks ago	posted from iPhone	"of course you let the players opt out...you do the honorable thing and allow said player to leave"? Before they even talk to the new coach? Especially when you are the guy who recommended the new coach? Like hell you do. Only if you think you're bigger than the program, bigger than the team. As stated by another poster, the head coach does not hire compliance people, for obvious conflict of interest reasons. Yeah, the head coach takes the blame, by there's a reason none of the compliance people involved with the sanctions are with the program, either - they failed at their jobs. How many of those "coaches with three years of success with less talent" had their predecessor around, and backstabbing them every step of the way - I'd bet none. Look, no one is saying that RichRod is without fault here. However, we can also recognize that the failure was not his alone, it was the whole program's. As assistant AD, Lloyd was part of that failure. As the previous head coach, he had a large role in who was on the field in 2008 (especially since he told guys to leave). And, since Carr was the guy who recommended RichRod for the job, and his recommendation was followed, it partially falls on him for not recommending a better coach, a better fit, or not developing a coaching tree where someone was ready for the job when it came open.
