He's gotten quite good at regurgitating information thanks to his Around the Horn veteran status.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:19 PM ^
They (Paige, Mariotti, Ryan, Cowlishaw) just jumped in and basically gang raped RR. The worst was Ryan yelling "HE IS GUILTY! HE IS GUILTY! I knew there was a reason I wrote this show off long age. I am really going to have to find some other channel to have on in the background.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:32 PM ^
as long as Woody Paige is on our side. Not!
Ryan's history lately at ESPN should lead him to keep his mouth closed.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:15 PM ^
Not just him, but nearly all those douches on Around the Horn jumped on the RR hating bandwagon.
I haven't watched that show in a long time, but happened to catch it just now. All I have to say is "Wow." Talking heads indeed. Not an original thought in there.
Just another reminder of why I limit my ESPN intake. Makes you stupid.

The fact that Jay Mariotti wrote an article bashing Rodriguez should be all the proof anyone needs that Michigan has done nothing wrong.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:17 PM ^
The discussion was what I call enlightening. I assumed these guys actually read more than an abstract on what they comment on. They have just proven they don't.
Bob Ryan "Of course he's guilty."
Reali calling them out. "Innocent until proven guilty unless on this show."
September 1st, 2009 at 5:18 PM ^
Same guys who said we were in shambles because Greg Paulus was GOING TO BE our starting qb this year.
They run with whatever they hear...
September 1st, 2009 at 5:18 PM ^
It goes to show how little everybody on ESPN knows, aside from Herbstreit. They all take what they read at face value and assume the worst is always true in regards to Michigan and RR. Everybody on Around the Horn says absolutely RR cheated and he is definitely guilty. Now I like to watch for a good laugh at the ridiculousness of it all.

This crap is tabloid journalism at its finest. Whomever has the most sensational headlines or screams the loudest wins.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:22 PM ^
before i joined this blog. thanks, mgocommunity, for opening my eyes!
September 1st, 2009 at 5:24 PM ^
I suppose they're a good source of information, assuming that you take everything they say and believe the exact opposite.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:28 PM ^
Was pathetic. My favorite part was where one of them said (I think it was Woody) "It's awful when their parents come to visit them in AA they couldn't spend any time with them because they had to go to practice"
Wow... That couldn't be FURTHER from the truth.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:34 PM ^
They pretty much just make shit up these days.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:25 PM ^
Fuck em' all. It is Us vs. the world now.
Take down their names and if you are ever in a position to run in to one of these "experts" in person, don't forget to call them out to their face on what weasels they are.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:26 PM ^
Why would you ever click on a Jay Mariotti "article"? The day he left the Sun-Times was a great day in Chicago sports history.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:15 PM ^
"left" isn't quite the right term, he pulled an "Irsay" and left in the middle of the night. Stay classy Jay!
September 1st, 2009 at 5:30 PM ^
Did you read the last part? He said Michigan could easily lose to Western because Denard Robinson doesn't tie his shoes and would likely trip on the way to the endzone. What terrible coaches we have.
I hear RichRod also used the word "fuck" once too; he's no Michigan man.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:38 PM ^
He also had sexual intercourse for a reason other than procreation. Can you believe that shit?! String him up!
September 1st, 2009 at 7:30 PM ^
Charlie Weis wouldn't do that.
September 1st, 2009 at 8:35 PM ^
wouldn't have intercourse for a reason other than a sandwich.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:35 PM ^
has despised the entire state of Michigan since he got shit canned from the Detroit News years ago.
September 1st, 2009 at 5:36 PM ^
These Jerks are just trying kick us when we are down! On a daily basis they display how much they are removed from athletics. I would venture to say that Mariotti got cut from his high school Tidly Winks team. I played college ball, albeit not at a big ten school, and your days are long. What the media doesn't get, or in Rosenberg's case is carefully dancing around, is that you can be around for ten hours but only practice for four hours. The rest of the time could be spent on film, training room, weights, etc. That's what it takes to win!

... that UM football is a popular topic (not necessarily in a good way).
September 1st, 2009 at 6:11 PM ^
Yeah I saw this last night. It is so bad it almost comes across as a parody.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:15 PM ^
Mariotti is a piece of shit and Around the Horn is worthless. ESPN is worthless. I check them for standings and that's about it.
September 1st, 2009 at 6:55 PM ^
Mariotti would call Vince Lombardi a worthless drone who was in the right place at the right time if he got five points on ATH for it.
September 1st, 2009 at 7:21 PM ^
Why do we keep linking these sites? They don't deserve our traffic.

"It surely would prompt the firing of Rodriguez, who has done nothing right since his 2008 hiring, a supposed coup that instantly became regrettable when he lost the recruiting battle for heralded quarterback Terrelle Pryor"
Yeah, we regretted the choice when he didn't get the #1 player who we originally had no shot at. Sureeeeeeee...
