Bruce Feldman says that the terms yesterday were not accurate...
The numbers were much toonhigh per Feldman on multiple reports on Twitter.
Bruce Feldman @BruceFeldmanCFB 5m5 minutes ago As I said on @FoxSports1 today, I was told by sources the reports on the $8M per offer by #Michigan to Jim Harbaugh are not accurate
December 18th, 2014 at 6:44 PM ^
Oh for fucks sake. Does anyone know ANYTHING?
December 18th, 2014 at 6:46 PM ^
All I know is that I am Mark Dantonio in a Noid costume.
Other than that, freeballin' it.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:54 PM ^
I assumed that was Dave Brandon because of the Dominos connection.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:58 PM ^
Maybe he is Dantonio's crony and it was all part of a diabolical plan to ruin Michigan...
December 18th, 2014 at 7:03 PM ^
All these years and I never realized that was Dantonio.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:10 PM ^
The Spartan green and snaggleteeth didn't give it away?
December 18th, 2014 at 7:32 PM ^
I never made the connection either.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:43 PM ^
smile threw me off.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:08 PM ^
Mark Dantonio in full Spartan gear with no mask on but smiling does not even look like Mark Dantonio. He is like the Clark Kent of coaches, except when he smiles its like when Clark takes off his glasses. No one can recognize him.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:50 PM ^
That's why he never smiles. He's self-conscious about his chompers.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
“What good is knowledge if it just floats in the air? It goes from computer to computer. It changes and grows every second of every day. But nobody actually knows anything.”
December 18th, 2014 at 6:59 PM ^
This is all a bunch of white noise
December 18th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
At this stage, not really. That is par for the course in situations like this, especially in this modern age of Twitter-driven news. We'll know when we know, and until then, this is a lot of wasted energy.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:57 PM ^
No. I think we know that.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:12 PM ^
Yes. One man knows everything.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:18 PM ^
Realistic people having saying that for awhile. No one knows anything for sure yet except maybe the principals.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:56 PM ^
thought you did...you've been championing harbaugh will go to the raiders for the last ten days.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:01 PM ^
I think that was outed as bullshit in one of the other threads
December 18th, 2014 at 8:20 PM ^
I know nothing and won't anything until a certain someone says "I'm coming home". Harbaugh and Go Blue!
December 18th, 2014 at 8:26 PM ^
There are so many roomers out there! I think im just sticking to Mgoblog for the truth not NFL insiders!
December 18th, 2014 at 8:35 PM ^
The only good Feldman is Corey!
December 18th, 2014 at 9:01 PM ^
You think you know, but you really don't know.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:45 PM ^
Since the national guys have really been on top of things so far, must be true.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:47 PM ^
I would trust Bruce. He's one of the best national writers in the biz.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:49 PM ^
That's not a particularly high bar to clear.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:50 PM ^
Why doesn't he tell us what the offer is?

if you're going to make a claim that goes counter to about a hundred reports from just yesterday, you gotta do better than "sources."
I mean his bunghole is a source. Of crap.
December 18th, 2014 at 6:53 PM ^
A writer known for his integrity is now working for a company whose news division is often referred to as "Faux News." So, whose record do you trust: Fox's or Feldman's?
December 18th, 2014 at 6:59 PM ^
People who think otherwise are dimbulbs.
Journalism today fucking sucks. It's a land of partisan hacks and yellow journalists.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:26 PM ^
But, yeah. I agree.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:31 PM ^
Yeah. Wrong. All impartial media watchdog organizations deem Fox by far the most inaccurate and biased major news organization. It's not even close. And there are plenty of respectable organizations.

media watchdog. If you believe that then you believe that the Tooth Fairy exists.ALL news is biased and unreliable as we have seen over and over and over again.
Secondly, they conducted a survey which found that Americans who watched CNN, MSNBC, Fox, NPR...are all at the same level of ignorance. Fox's viewers were the lowest, but it was a matter of being the shortest pygmie.
December 19th, 2014 at 12:49 AM ^
Those who got their information from NPR were best informed, then CNN, then MSNBC, then people who purposely avoided the news, then Fox. The review of false statements per hour showed Fox to be the worst followed by MSNBC.
December 19th, 2014 at 9:03 AM ^
The saddest thing about "journalism" today is what's NOT reported. Virtually NOBODY but Fox reports anything about the IRS scandal (one example). You don't have to spin news that's negative toward your agenda if you simply choose not to report it.
December 19th, 2014 at 1:08 AM ^
but fairness isn't. Everyone has a point of view because everyone's experience, perceptions, needs, values, and interpretations differ. Moreover, we shouldn't want to be impartial if, thinking critically and with full information, the truth turns out to be on one side or another--or a little bit in each. Remember the Blind Men and the Elephant.
If you've lived out side the U.S., as I did for several years, you realize all American media have a distincively American slant on events. To be sure, the Guardian, Die Zeit, and other European publications also have their own perspectives, but they're a useful corrective to what we read and hear every day.
It is my (biased) opinion, of course, but I think the best sources of news in the country today are Al Jazeera America and The Christian Science Monitor (which, like the WSJ, is good at analyzing the news, whatever you think of the affiliated organization). Frontline is usually pretty good, too.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:09 PM ^
bro, MSNBC is one of the most biased news outlets ever to exist.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:33 PM ^
Fox is way way worse than other news outlets. Its well documented. The only people who don't believe that are Fox news sheep.
December 18th, 2014 at 7:45 PM ^
People who say Fox are the worst are betraying their leftist sympathies. They revile Fox because Fox offends their political sensibilities. It isn't out of any concern for veracity or journalistic ethics that drives the criticism. It's politics plain and simple.
I do believe Fox is terrible and I refuse to watch it, but I think the same for all major news outlets.
The truth is all news outlets are biased. There is no such thing as "fair and balanced" because that doesn't sell papers or draw eyes/clicks. What they want is to promote outrage andsensationalism, so as to draw people to their site or station. That is why we are constantly seeing inflammatory or scandelous stories.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:13 PM ^
It does make one wonder whether even in your grandpappy's time (i.e. when your avatar lived) it was any better. Is the golden age of journalism a myth?
December 18th, 2014 at 8:31 PM ^
Your honor, I love your screen name.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:29 PM ^
The exception is al-jazeera....if you can get past the fact it is run by terrorists thing /s
December 18th, 2014 at 9:15 PM ^
Fox is objectively, measurably less factually correct, on average, than the average.
It may be a shortest pygmy contest, but that doesn't change shortness into something intangible or unmeasurable. Fox is, in fact, the least factual of the major mess outlets.
Facts are not political. You can count them. And you can count misstatements. MSNBC is really bad; NPR is fairly reliable; CNN is fairly reliable; Fox is the worst. That is an actual fact; you can research it, chart it, compare the numbers, whatever.
I mean, Fox does crazy shit. They Photoshop bags under the eyes of people they don't like. They willfully deceive as part of their ongoing business model. Anyone who thinks Fox is not the worst major news outlets on the facts either hasn't done their research and is going off mere anecdotal assumptions or is suffering from their own biases.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:04 PM ^
Says the almost certainly leftist MSNBC watcher. They are all horribly biased. There is more of an argument, if anything, that MSNBC is the worst. At least at Fox you have people like Shep Smith and Megyn Kelly and Bret Baier, who aren't horrific partisans. At MSNBC, you have hosts like Al Sharpton. He doesn't cover poltiics, he partakes in the political events that he covers. There is no prime-time equivalent of Megyn Kelly on MSNBC. Not even close.
December 18th, 2014 at 8:16 PM ^
Um, did you just put Megyn Kelly on that list?
December 18th, 2014 at 8:25 PM ^
Yes. And I forgot to mention Greta.
December 18th, 2014 at 11:44 PM ^
Claiming Megyn Kelly isn't a partisan hack may be the most ridiculous thing I've read on MGoBlog this month. And that is saying something given the sheer volume of ridiculous stuff posted on here this month.
December 18th, 2014 at 9:30 PM ^
I lean right, but MSNBC does have Joe Scarborough
December 18th, 2014 at 7:50 PM ^
political tripe. Don't bring this nonsense into my Harbaugh thread
