Did Wojo Just Call Connor Cook a Tool?

Submitted by Muttley on
I think so.

...That’s the newsy impact of the draft, no matter how stridently people will debate Rudock, or why Michigan State’s Connor Cook dropped to the fourth round.

To follow my hardware analogy, follow the trend. The common theme in Quinn’s draft is that he prefers durable, multi-purpose tools, as long as they’re not tools in the negative sense.

Of course, Wojo is smart enough not to do it directly, and his purpose is merely to evoke a reader's chuckle, but I do not think the close proximity of "Cook" and "tool" is a coincidence.

Calling bullshit Muttley.  I've seen no such "facts" reported by mainstream journalists - this is all typical FauxNews fodder.

When W was at the helm, he provided a stage for journalist to showcase their invaluable service - objectively holding our elected officials accountable - and it was a daily barrage of truth bombs!

Now, I see Obama/Kerry routinely saying that everything's cool, according to plan, and we're doing great over there.  That narrative is overwhelmingly met with the chirping of crickets,  because those same fact-sifting, whistle-blowing, relentless champions of journalistic truth consistently detect nothing on the BS-meter.  NOTHING!  Don't think we need Captain Obvious to tell us there's nothing to see here.

I noticed that too. Fodder for his friday college football columns, of which are the best sports journalism around, in my opinion. The comment sections are always great too, in which ~70 % of the responders invariably missed the tone of the article. Maybe he should include a '/s' at the end of each sentence.

yes. and good. about time the shots are fired back. dantoni has been subtley mocking us a long time and getting away with it. Actually I wish this sites writers would rip dantoni more. still cannot believe how he got away with dissing Harbaugh handshake. it was deliberate and played it well.

Is Connor Cook a communist? Does Connor Cook beat his dogs? Where was Connor Cook when he first heard about 9/11? Who is Connor Cook's favorite cake boss? Why is Connor Cook white? Is Connor Cook possessed by Satan? Does Connor Cook respect the importance of family values?

job priority, holding clipboard, pretending he is the answer to the oft-asjed question, how many Spartan qbs have led a team to the Super Bowl or won an MVP award, let alone served as captain of their team or been allowed to call their own play in the huddle.

Who is the bigger tool? The tool or the UM fans who keep obsessing about the tool? Can we please stop talking about this asshole?

"Browns say Cody Kessler will compete with Robert Griffin III for starting job 'and is not a guy I would sleep on.'"

On the mobile app the headline ended with "and is not a guy."

Both versions have thei merits.
