OT: Taylor Lewan's daughter out chugs (water) Dad at Pred's Game
Maybe it's just me, but this whole thing is a bit weird.
Chugging beer off a catfish?
Encouraging your little kid to chug? (Albeit water)
I don't know, maybe I've finally reached the "get off my lawn" age.
I mean...I'm not the only Michigan fan who has long thought that Taylor Lewan is kind of a douche.
He's our (Michigan's) douche, but he's a douche.
I wish he wasn't. Never forget he threatened to assault the girl Brendan Gibbons raped.
Is it, "ideal" no, but nobody expects ideal behavior from Lewan. Enjoy it for what it is, a proud father showing his kid that they're appreciated and worthy. There's a lot better things in life to kick off your yard than a kid and their dad having a positive memory she'll remember forever.
Maybe it's me but I doubt we would see something similar from Brady.
Kids emulate parental behavior. I'm sure my kids did their fair share of downing one too many while students at Michigan and we often had a beer or shot of Scotch together, but not when they were seven and not in excess.
Taylor Lewan will get you there, quickly. He's an idiot.
do you give your children nerf or water guns? I don't care, but my wife hates them for the implication.
The crowd loved it, the daughter didn't seem to be put out by it. It was a dad having a fun moment with his daughter. I swear the "Lewan is a douche" crowd are simply determined to be buzzkills with him.
If not wanting to be associated with a guy that threatened a sexual assault victim is being a buzzkill, I guess I’m a buzzkill. So be it.
Eff that guy.
I hope no one ever treats his daughter the way he treated women while he was at Michigan.
Scumbag POS.
Taylor Lewan is clearly trying to get attention any way that he can. Between trying to goad Jalen Milroe into a clickbaity quote and a whole news story about getting into a chugging contest with his daughter, it’s just a matter of time until he reaches [name redacted] level of hot takes.
Everything I hear about this guy is against my will. If he ever does anything nice or supportive or mature, please post that and I’ll duly upvote. Until then, can we treat him like any other person who obviously hasn’t matured since middle school?
He helped get my friend, who was combat veteran and graduate student at Michigan, and his daughter onto the field for a Michigan game under Hoke.
Upvote away.
THAT is the kind of Lewan content we need! Upvoted
Lewan's interview with Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards was weird, especially the part with BC towards the end. BC shrugged it off like a pro.
Reminds me of an MLB situation.
There was a “journalist” who apparently decided that his schtick was going to be “getting confrontational and insulting towards people”, and decided to make Marcus Thames his next victim.
Problem was, Marcus Thames was (maybe is?) one of the nicest, quietest, gentlest (unless you were a hanging curveball) players in the league, and once word got around, people prepared for this “journalist”, basically either refusing to engage or throwing it right back in his face.
Lewan isn’t going to get many more interviews if word gets around that he tries to trick people into saying things that aren’t in their best interests.
If Thames could hit a curveball, he might still be playing.
Well the ones that hung up in the zone frequently made it past the center field fence.
The curveballs that actually curved made it into the catcher’s mitt, idly glancing up at the shadow of a bat passing harmlessly over them en route.
If I remember correctly, wasn't it questioned if Jesus Christ could hit a curveball?
Let’s not start a holy war…
For those who don't know that was a Major League reference:
and FWIW Jesus was famous for hitting curve balls. In Mark 12 (I had to look it up) the Pharisees and Herodians try to catch Jesus in his words by asking him if they should pay taxes to Caesar.
15 Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” 16 They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
17 Then Jesus said to them, “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”
His interview during 2022 spring practice with Harbaugh was so weird. Harbaugh rarely sat down to give interviews outside of required media appearances (aside from the first few seasons of his tenure). So to get an opportunity like that and use it to ask him if was a "meat peeker" in the locker room and shower? Harbaugh was obviously super weirded out and awkward in response to the question. Like grow the fuck up. This isn't the 8th grade anymore.
Him and coach talking about checking out shlongs in the shower? WTF how did I miss this masterpiece of awkwardness?
Was it Colin Cowherd/Jim Harbaugh weird?
It seems like it was a lifetime memory for his daughter, happy to know that she will always have that memory with her Dad.
I tried to post that clip... but that was before the picture postings were "fixed".
After seeing the video, it was kind of weird IMO but it was water. Looks like it was a commercial break and the crowd got a laugh. Not necessarily anything I'd have my daughter do but oh well. There's far worse happening with children right now.
Preds fans throwing Catfish on the ice has always felt lame to me. I mean, I get it, it was started by folks in Nashville in direct reponse to Red Wings fans, but it's a blatant rip-off of the octupi.
Get your own thing Preds. And go Canucks tomorrow night, end this series (they should have ended it the other night, but blew it).
One could argue they did get their own thing with the catfish....
One could also argue that the Preds should be up but blew a game in the final seconds themselves, it's almost like hockey can be really random.
I, as Preds fan, would strongly argue that they should be up. But Boeser played like his hair was on fire for the last 3 minutes of game 4. I would also like to point out that in appearance the Preds are looking better each game and Vancouver seems to be wilting. We shall see what they do tomorrow night though.
Thats exactly what it was. They started that back around 1999/2000 I believe. The preds were a new team and the Red Wings fans took over the arena and the preds fans didn't have anything original to start doing so they copied the octopus.
I remember when I took the red wings being in the playoffs and beating teams like the predators for granted
I just can't get excited about anything Lewan does after the Gibbons stuff came to light
Taylor Lewan procreated? Yikes!
Yes that makes sense, condition your child to adore the chants of 25k people to chug her drink. That couldn’t backfire at all. Nahhhh
Water intoxication, also known as water poisoning, hyperhydration, overhydration, water toxemia or hyponatremia is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions that can result when the normal balance of electrolytes in the body is pushed outside safe limits by excessive water intake. ...
Most deaths related to water intoxication in healthy individuals have resulted from water-drinking contests.
It was a small cup of water, please find something else to panic about.
This is true but not from 5 ounces of water.
Lewan was a good player but wish he came in under a coach like Carr or Harbaugh who I think would have ameliorated his butthole behavior a bit. Remember he clocked a OSU fan at a bar then denied it. And indirectly threatened the woman involved with Gibbons.
Indirectly? Didn’t police have to warn him against threatening her after he threatened her? And ‘involved’ is really doing work here. The police investigation documents were public and were pretty damning against gibbons until the survivor dropped her complaint in part because of said threats.
I was at the Women's Football Academy when he was on the team and I sat with him and Patrick Omameh at lunch. He was personable in that venue. I told him I had lived in Scottsdale for a few years in middle school and had I stayed, I would've gone to the same high school as him, so that sparked some good conversation. Obviously, there were some other things that happened while he was at Michigan, but during this event, he was likable and friendly.
Lewan’s dad was seated right behind me at The Game this past year.
He was an incredibly nice and funny guy. Couple OSU guys were giving him shit about Rich Rod and he said “if not for Rich Rod, I don’t know if my son would have had the future he now has”
That RichRod era was rough on everyone. TL and Jake Ryan were friends and both were always nice to my family regardless of the how bad things went on the field.
As the kids would say, the comments in this thread does not pass the vibe check.
Jesus, people here are weirdly uptight regarding select former players - even if the player did some shitty stuff back in the day - to the point that they are finding issue with this video or using any reference to the player to air their hatred of them a decade after the fact.
It's almost as if there's accountability for immoral acts. The horror!
Seems like he had a nice time with his daughter. I can barely take care of myself and my cat.
A lot of negative posts here. Many seem to be jealous of Lewan's good hair.
I'm proud of almost all former Michigan athletes. Lewan isn't one of them.
While the prude in me who didn't really drink before freshman year of college wants to shame Lewan for his unhealthy attitude towards drinking and the potential effect it might have on his daughters development, I can't. Chugging a beer is stupid, but not much more stupid than seeing who can pee farther, the one chip challenge, feats of strength and all of the other things that give life a little zest. Carpe Diem.
