January 11th, 2019 at 6:13 PM ^
Good. To heck that guy
January 11th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
Over/under 5 days before he posts about Michigan Athletics again?
January 11th, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
I'll take the under.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:46 PM ^
Can we please keep this pinned so every future Michigan fan can see this thread and avoid the CANCER that guy is?
January 11th, 2019 at 8:49 PM ^
truly he did not fuck
January 15th, 2019 at 12:10 PM ^
omg your profile pic
January 11th, 2019 at 6:13 PM ^
Gregg Henson just had a sigh of relief
January 11th, 2019 at 6:15 PM ^
This is just a rumor...
January 11th, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
Where was the original posted? From an official UM account?
January 11th, 2019 at 6:47 PM ^
No clue, but both Sam and Josh Henschke have confirmed that it is real.
January 11th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
It was an actual letter. I don't think they posted it anywhere.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:19 PM ^
Took me a minute the first time watching his vids to realize that background wasn't him actually standing there at Schembechler hall.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:23 PM ^
Dude got taken to the woodshed.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
He's horrible and should go away.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
This is great. Dude is absolute trash.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:24 PM ^
I always told my friends who would quote Yoder to just stop because I never did believe anyting coming out of him
January 11th, 2019 at 6:25 PM ^
Cya Yoder!
January 11th, 2019 at 8:36 PM ^
Looks like he is not going very far very fast!
January 11th, 2019 at 9:59 PM ^
Get him into the Yoder Loader and get him out of town
January 12th, 2019 at 11:03 AM ^
Geeez, after reading the full story of what a louse he is, I'm sorry I've been insulting the Amish so much over the last year.
I just thought he was incompetent, which made calling him Amish a shenanigan, but he's just an asshole.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:26 PM ^
Interesting timing. Khalid Hill (I believe) retweeted a tweet of him being a douche a few days ago. Can't find that tweet anymore and Yoder made his private afterwards.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:00 PM ^
He would make his Twitter private for a little bit after someone would call him out then re-appear later
January 11th, 2019 at 7:56 PM ^
Here's an example of his work. I keep it around to remind myself what an expert he is on players as well as being a world class asshat. He posted this in August.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:10 PM ^
Yoder literally said towards the beginning of the season that Runyan was a BigTen caliber player.
End of the year...Runyan was voted 1st Team All BigTen by the coaches...Yoder has no credibility.
January 11th, 2019 at 8:45 PM ^
Did he say he wasn’t a Big Ten caliber player? Otherwise it’s not a great example.
January 11th, 2019 at 9:58 PM ^
The other day he saw Kalil Branham tweet #gobucks congratulating Washington for taking the job there, then he posts something like "Looks like Branham has decommitted", Branham tells him straight up that he's wrong, then Yoder says something like "Well someone on mgoblog said you decommitted and i took their word for it, fake news!"
So you basically just admitted you actually know nothing you fucking idiot?
January 11th, 2019 at 10:34 PM ^
Yeah that exchange with branham was gold. Love a recruit telling a grown ass man what a petulent douche he is. Bye yoder. May we never hear from you again.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:27 PM ^
Haha he made his twitter private ahahahahha
January 11th, 2019 at 6:27 PM ^
Man, that's a death blow.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:28 PM ^
He blocked me on Twitter so I can't find him anyway, but a buddy just texted me and said he switched his Twitter to private. Lol
January 11th, 2019 at 8:44 PM ^
It usually takes this imbecile about 2 days before he’s back to spreading his trash
January 11th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
I wonder if he'll open up shop on Monday with another team as the self-appointed "king" of their coverage.
No, I don't really wonder that. As they say, good riddance to bad rubbish.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
Who is he? Bobby Kunz?
January 11th, 2019 at 6:33 PM ^
i have no idea who that guy is. can someone enlighten me? what was he doing/saying?
January 11th, 2019 at 6:45 PM ^
One thing was he was attacking ace for making up his illness and defrauding ppl with the gofundme page so ace could supposedly make money and not work.
January 11th, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
Seriously, did he attack Ace for that? If so, it's unconscionable. As someone whose life has been adversely affected by Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I know how cruel and devastating it is for others to suggest that the disease is "all in your head" or that you're just lazy. He ought to be sued for libel.
January 12th, 2019 at 6:13 AM ^
I wouldn’t call it attacking Ace. He said if the fan base could raise $100k for a fatigued blogger surely they could do x. I think he was referencing bagmen...tacky and classless either way.
January 11th, 2019 at 7:02 PM ^
Look him up on YouTube, he runs the chat sports Michigan YouTube page. He claims to be the #1 Michigan insider
January 11th, 2019 at 7:13 PM ^
He’s a complete fraud who created Chat Sports and fakes insides access.
He has a complicated relationship with the truth:
January 11th, 2019 at 7:28 PM ^
Can’t believe I started to read that
January 11th, 2019 at 7:34 PM ^
So does this mean the athletic department will have a similar letter for Mineral King?
January 11th, 2019 at 7:59 PM ^
Mineral King is a legend. Just ask him
January 11th, 2019 at 9:25 PM ^
Maybe mineral king is yoder?
#fakeinsiders
January 11th, 2019 at 9:57 PM ^
ha,we need his talent to "attack" OSU.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:29 PM ^
Wow!! That was awesome. Now that’s how you take out a troll.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:32 PM ^
Can someone help me out? Is this in reference to something those guys did recently or is it just retaliation for years and years of crap non-journalism posing as real journalism?
Also, who is Ace Williams? I didn't see him mentioned in the letter. Do they work together? It seems I'm pretty uninformed about this guy.
January 11th, 2019 at 6:36 PM ^
"Ace Williams" is the pseudonym of what used to be the Michigan reporter for Chatsports. He was a fraud. After a couple of years of "no chatsports," Brian put him to the sword here.
"Ace Williams" continued to be a thing for a couple of more years, but continued to be a joke, and eventually had a meltdown. At one point he started teasing huge Michigan news on twitter, built it up... and then basically ragequit the site because he had nothing to report. It was a lie.
This is a terrific article that adds a lot of color to just what a joke Yoder is.
The confluence of "Ace Williams" and Yoder suggests that Williams was just a pseudonym of Yoder, but the timeline of the evidence Brian uncovered makes that connection weird.
