1 day 50 min ago	So you want all the gays to	So you want all the gays to stay in the closet then, hm? Just go ahead and practice being straight? Do me a favor and go out there and practice being openly gay for a few years or so and then tell me if you, as a presumably straight male, enjoyed that experience of hiding who you really are.

Our idiot coaches should have held him down against his will and forced him to watch the dozen of hours worth of video recapping our success on the gridiron since Y2K until he verbally commit to play for Michigan, rather than letting him actually choose who he wants to play for! The fools! The damned fools!

2 weeks 17 hours ago	Wait... YOU WERE SERIOUS?	Wait... YOU WERE SERIOUS? edit: please look at this list and tell me what names you would honestly trade Stafford for, straight up. Hell, go ahead and add in the rookies this year if that floats your boat. As of right now, I see Peyton, Brady, Brees, and Rodgers for sure and you can maybe make a case for Eli and Roethlisberger depending on how much you value having a consistently good to elite defense and consistently great run game, neither of which Stafford has ever had. Other than that, I would not take any of those other 25+ QBs, including Matt Ryan, over Stafford right now.
2 weeks 1 day ago	The NFL is supposedly going	The NFL is supposedly going to have some rules committee meetings about the Seahawks' "test the refs" strategy and it will most likely involve calling interference penalties more often. Don't get me wrong, this is still just a rumor and the Seahawks were brilliant in using that strategy to exploit timid refs, but knowing the NFL and how far they have gone already to try and make this a pass happy league, it wouldn't shock me to see this rumor pan out.
2 weeks 1 day ago	To be fair, they almost made	To be fair, they almost made it to the Super Bowl in his second year (79 Rec, 1200 yds, 10 TDs) when he went to the pro bowl with Roddy White. You figure if the Lions were really in "win now" mode, they would asses the spot in most need of an impact player and see if there is a player who fits that criteria. To me, Sammy Watkins is probably the most likely guy to make an impact in year 1 & 2 if he gets drafted by he Lions, given how often they throw the ball (which probably will not change all that much). I can' thurt to have a speedy guy to compliment Calvin and Tate.
2 weeks 1 day ago	The amount of people (who	The amount of people (who used to be) on my facebook wall calling for the Lions to trade/bench/cut Stafford with complete sincerity makes me want to spend the rest of my existence studying computers and coding in the hopes that one day I will finally invent a device that lets me reach through the screen and punch someone square in the dick.
2 weeks 1 day ago	Yes, because there are still	Yes, because there are still many people, and not just athletes, who are afraid of coming out as openly gay and being potentially ostricized or even attacked in their own neighborhood and community by people that they may have known for a large portions of his/her life. Until it stops being a divisive issue among the general public, there will be more "firsts" and those will be always be a big deal to many.

My point is obviously that the Fab Five and Michigan are intertwined and will always be connected, no matter how badly some random local kentucky sportswriters want people to think otherwise.

2 weeks 4 days ago	"Division between a head	"Division between a head coach and some of his players, versus a former QB and other of his players, on any issue, seems only likely to disrupt a common goal." I'm curious to hear what the common goal is that everyone involved is trying to achieve? Sounds like two sides who want the exact opposite to me.

I grew up 20 minutes from Ann Arbor, which was the closest city. My uncle graduated from Michigan. And yet, and now I am not a fan because I didn't go to U of M because I couldn't afford the massive tuition and the crippling loan debt that would surely follow. Fucking spare me, buddy.
