Frank Clark: pictures of "fight" with teammate
Wasn't so much a fight, but rather Clark sucker-punched Ifedi.
Some things never change, I guess.

That exemplifies the character or lack there of Frank Clark has. Not much. Guys that threw punches such as those always got stomped. There is no way in hell I would let that go and after the age of fifty you are allowed to cheat. Of course emptying five magazines from your AR into someones house and then setting it on fire may be going overboard. LOL.

...and he still hasn't seemed to have grown up.
August 15th, 2017 at 1:43 PM ^
Knew this when we had police reports about a kid running down a hotel hallway yelling "Frank's trying to kill my sister." This dude does not seem to be a very good dude.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:24 PM ^
Didn't he have some other issue between this and the abuse while he was at Michigan?
EDIT: Ah yeah. He threatened a female reporter or something. Seems he's really a changed man.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:51 AM ^
That was as much a "fight" as when Glenn Winston "fought" AJ Sturges. A total coward move to sucker punch someone - and in keeping, on a character front, with Clark's history of domestic violence.
Clark has been an embarrassment to Michigan, to his family, and to himself. I hope he's able to pull his head out of his ass, and capitalize on his talent. In the meantime, I'll just wait for Pete Carroll to do the right thing ... .

I agree whole heartedly, and almost said this same comment on yesterdays "Wolverines in the NFL" thread. I don't care or want any Frank Clark updates. That dude got kicked off our team for domestic violence and we should not claim him as one of us
August 15th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
I like the way Frank plays the game, always have. He obviously has some serious anger management issues (shocking he plays a sport where you violenty hit other men for a living), but in the Hoke era where guys like Funchess coasted through games, Frank played his ass off every snap for Michigan.
I'm not saying he's a great person, and he's made a number of mistakes, but if I need to win a football game, I will take guys like him and Lewan all day on my team.
Practice fights happen all the time in training camp. I won't make excuses for his domestic violence incidents, but to crucify him for this is ridiculous. Give me a guy with passion who pushes the limit over a guy who doesn't care any day.

Sucker punching a teammate who isn't even looking at you should never happen. Punk move by a major punk. I'm glad I don't have your values because this was criminal and I hope Ifedi presses assualt charges against him.
August 15th, 2017 at 3:13 PM ^
also, the guy he punched is a known instigator. No stories on what he has done or been doing over the preseason, or prior seasons. He's listed as one of the worst guards in the league last season, and one of the most penalized. Sucker punch isnt right...but jesus christ, I'd love to buy some property on that high horse so many of you seem to reside on.
August 15th, 2017 at 4:40 PM ^
Yeah sometimes I wonder if people read the whole article. Seems like Clark and Iefedi deserve each other.
August 15th, 2017 at 7:37 PM ^
You... can't... do... that...
I will however sell you a saddle for a camel. 300!
August 15th, 2017 at 9:26 PM ^
If this had happened without a history of violence against women and threatening a female reporter, then perhaps I'd think differently. To hell with your low horse.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:47 PM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 10:30 PM ^
I don't care if Ifedi was a serial instigator, you don't show more courage in beating a woman than beating a man.
August 15th, 2017 at 4:47 PM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
punches are the worst thing ever. Not that fighting is ever particularly wise, but sucker punches never settle anything and can really, really hurt somebody permanently.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:53 AM ^
This guy is a piece of shit
August 15th, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Frank Clark can sucker punch me if he wants. I have carnal thoughts when I loop that gif of him vaporizing Braxton Miller.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:56 AM ^
Frank Clark sucker punched you I doubt you would have any further memory of that Braxton Miller sack.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:32 PM ^
I'd have preferred him make a play on the ball but whatevs.
August 15th, 2017 at 1:33 PM ^
I don't understand it to this day. Clark hit Braxton as hard as I've ever seen anyone get hit in the game of football (save maybe the Clowney hit). He had a full head of steam and no one stood in Clark's way. It was like hitting a stationary tackling dummy. Somehow Miller found a way to hold onto the ball and come right back on the next series like nothing ever happened.

August 15th, 2017 at 4:30 PM ^
That kid is a fucking cyborg. He got pummeled over and over and over throughout his career at OSU and somehow kept getting right back up. I remember when they played Purdue in Meyer's first season he got hit so hard he had to get taken out of the stadium in an ambulance. A lot of people wondered if he'd play at all for the rest of the season, or even the following year. Dude came back the following week like nothing ever happened.
I hope he takes great care of himself, because with how much he got hit in his five years at OSU it wouldn't surprise me if his body just gave out on him later in life.
August 15th, 2017 at 4:43 PM ^
Drugs. Lots and lots of drugs. Has to be.
August 15th, 2017 at 2:48 PM ^
I just watched the hit, and while its a good one, you've overstated it. Clark executes a solid take-down, but its not even close to the Clowney hit, or many, many other hits. For a hit that is as hard as you will ever see, watch the Daydrion Taylor hit.
August 15th, 2017 at 9:57 AM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
Nah. Just his inner Frank Clark.
August 15th, 2017 at 2:00 PM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 12:30 PM ^
Frank Clark is a fucking asshole. If only there were warning signs for Seattle.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:31 PM ^
Why is it that some people make such poor decisions? What does he have to gain by that? Does he have permanent roid rage, or is he just dumb?

“What did Ricky do to you, anyway?”
“Tijuana! He did Tijuana to me! Oh, we were having ourselves a fine old time, down Mexico way. Then, out of the blue, Ricky jumped me and left me stranded! With no I.D., I was stuck in TJ for six months! I had to work as the squeegee boy at a donkey show. Every night, watching a different girl sleep with the donkey I loved.”
August 15th, 2017 at 12:39 PM ^
He flat out stole on him.....
not cool.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:40 PM ^
August 15th, 2017 at 1:34 PM ^
I wouldn't put Lewan in the same camp as Clark. Lewan at least looks like he's cleaned up his act since he's gotten to the NFL. I haven't heard much about him in the way of on or off-field incidents.
Clark on the other hand.....
August 15th, 2017 at 8:56 PM ^
There are Lewan sized other shoes still to drop with him It will have to come out eventually.
August 16th, 2017 at 9:54 AM ^
Rexrode, because I know him personally, and a few other writers. All seem to have the consensus that Lewan has mellowed considerably since becoming a father. Still can be a bit snarky, but not the same person he was at U of M.

August 15th, 2017 at 12:47 PM ^
The article talked about how Clark was remorseful and how he promised he'd "never go there again." Sorry Clark, but given your history and repeated incidents, if you gave me your word and a dollar to go with it, I'd say that will get me no more than a cup of coffee.
I halfway expect the next time we hear about him will be a story about him cold-cocking a guy in the middle of a football game and getting suspended. The guy has talent but he's got issues.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
Frank Clark is just such a douchebag. Glad we kicked him off our team and out of our school. Im sure he'll do something incredibly stupid, he is Frank Clark afterall, again and be facing some suspensions sooner rather than later.
August 15th, 2017 at 12:48 PM ^
Frank Clark is a real piece of shit
August 15th, 2017 at 1:30 PM ^
for the next one after someone from MSU or OSU does something thuggish. Inevitably people chime in to chastise us for being hypocritical. "We'd be defending him if he went to Michigan" and other such crap.
