adventures in making up the truth

4) Nothing new on Boo Boo, except that he has a long way to go to get back in the good graces with the team and shores up other aspects. He needs to improve his attitude, both on and off the field, and take to coaching much better. The biggest thing though, quit pouting, so basically Boo Boo is starting over.

INSIDAH KNOWLEDGE.
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:47 AM ^
these guys were supposed to be in the "know"....
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:41 AM ^
No sugarcoat?
October 23rd, 2009 at 10:46 AM ^
Neither "in the know" nor "in the read" it seems.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:03 AM ^
Now you're going to tell me that "pad level" isn't important either.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:10 AM ^
Quit Pouting
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:12 AM ^
GBMW is always making shit up.
The best is when they post something that directly contradicts what RR has said, or what I saw in practice (which is frequently).
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:22 AM ^
of their supposed "insider knowledge", then there is very little hope.
GBMW has always been garbage. This isn't breaking news.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:35 AM ^
Stop reading GBMW!
If nobody reads it, then they'll stop posting.
And if they stop posting, there won't be any more misinformation out there (at least not from them).
The solution is simple.
There are much better blogs out there.

I don't know about you, but I'm sick of the sugarcoated opinions on those so-called "better blogs." GBMW is all I have :(
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:45 AM ^
But do these "Better Blogs" you speak of refer to themselves as an E-Blog?
Obviously an E-Blog is more credible than a Blog, it's Science.
Note - it appears they may have finally stopped referring to themselves as a Michigan E-Blog, which is rather disheartening.

does boo boo like REO or Styx?
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:56 AM ^
If Lloyd would just call a presser and announce that Boo Boo is one good day away form playing, then GBMW and others would not have anything to report and Michigan would be united again. Both peninsulas, too.

Give me back my Toledo.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:11 PM ^
Toledo can't come back to Michigan! That's where I buy all my pop and beer! If I start having to pay a 10 cent deposit, I'll have to cut back!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:40 PM ^
In 1835-36, Michigan and Ohio fought a (mostly) bloodless war over which state would claim Toledo.
Ohio won the war, but had to claim Toledo anyway.

I've been arguing we should take it back for years. But, why give up the UP?
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 PM ^
Toledo has the following things you want. Tony Packos, Mancy's Restaurants, The Docks, The Toledo Zoo, The Toledo Art Museum, The University of Toledo, The Toledo Mudhens, Jeep.
The rest of it you can pretty much scrap, unless you have a crazy thing for Owens Corning insulation or Libby glassware.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 PM ^
I don't know about other players, but the UP has been a gold mine for the state economically and aethestically (Pictured Rocks ... Rocks!)
Toledo is going to be a sore spot for the immediate future, until we smack them down. I certainly don't want to repatriate them until the record is righted.
