The only joke that made me cringe was when the two guys (never heard of them before) compared Brady to Hitler, complete with a picture. Hitler is still too soon, and the audience thought so, too.
Seriously? LOL!! That's "shitty and condescending"? Dude, look in the mirror... Your putting words where there aren't any. You're also being a bit sensitive about internet comments. Again, I relayed my experience with how subcontracts and prime Prog Mngrs usually work regarding key personnel decisions (YMMV). I even said "kudos to Warde" for not shooting down the hire and gave him credit for getting Altuis onboard! Apparently, you can't parse that post for what it is...
WTF are you even talking about? My post here is doing nothing more than relaying my experience with key hires made by sub-contractors. You made it a personal attack for some reason.
I am not a fan of Warde - you are correct on that count. I believe he's a follower, rather than a leader, when in a room with his peers. I don't believe he backs his coaches/programs as much as he could, or as much as other ADs do. Instead of acting in a program's best interest, I believe he's content to do as little as possible. He will appease authority rather than stand up for what's right when it's a hard stand. I've also given him a LOT of credit for being a good administrator and running the UM AD from a business perspective - which makes it exceedingly difficult for Ono to get rid of him under whatever pretense.
But my post wasn't about any of that. I'm not sure why you felt the need to make this a personal attack...
I mean, tall cotton sounds all soft and fluffy, but reality says that cotton plants are hard, thorny asshole-y plants that rip you apart. Cotton picking machine (not to be confused with 'cotton-pickin' maize & blue heart' from Bob Ufer fame) tires are incredibly hard because the plant stems have been known to puncture tires.
I don't think Warde had much to do with this - she was hired by Altuis Mgmt. Granted, Warde had something to do with signing Altruis as a NIL consultant, so there's that. And he probably looked at her resume and signed off on it. But I seriously doubt he was in on the search or interviews. Just not (usually) the way key positions are filled by contractor's. In my experience, the contractor finds and interviews candidates, then runs the resume / IV notes across the Prime's PM (Warde, in this case) for approval. Probably also bring the candidate in to meet with the PM (Warde).
What contract do players have today? The NLI (National Letter of Intent) binds a kid to play at a certain school, per old-ish NCAA 'rules' that the Transfer Portal flouts every day. In this particular case, though, the terms of the NLI have changed - the coach the kid was recruited by, and possibly committed for, has left. The conditions of the NLI as proffered by the school have changed. Ergo, the kid should be free...
There's always Peyton's 'alleged' treatment of female staff in the UTenn locker room to fall back on as a reason to dislike him. But as a player, he was really good.
It's definitely worth streaming! Just hilarious all around - but be warned that there is a lot of vulgarity involved. So if you don't like that, don't watch. Otherwise, I strongly recommend watching...
I feel ya... I also spend Thanksgiving Day at my in-laws, and they are not sports fans. In fact, the TV hasn't ever been turned on since I've been going there - ~17 years! They believe talking is the way to enjoy a holiday. So watching the Lions on DVR is the way I've seen those games. Which worked out for the best, actually, considering how much they used to suck!
The 'attitude' was meant to be a shot at all the people that complain about seemingly every post around here being click-bait. Especially when people leave some crap title and no information. So I played off that. Perhaps poorly, but the entire thread is about a roast.
Nobody took any swipes at UM - you're reading stuff that isn't there. Mars took issue with the NCAA still calling Harbaugh at fault, and with the lack of support he recieved from UM. That's nothing more than a response to the NCAA and Michigan's lack of support. John Harbaugh answered a direct question without naming names or saying anything else.
Those are "taking swipes"? Tell me honestly - when was the last time any of the Harbaugh's instigated crap with someone else?
I was going to say you're wrong, but I looked through UK's roster first. They have two kids from Detroit, and no others. So you may actually be onto something!
While I don't think Jim and Warde get along as friends, I also don't think they're 'enemies' to the point that Harbaugh was with Baalke and the SF brass. They (more or less) trashed him for not getting back to the NFC CG and for not actually winning the SB. Warde has never trashed Harbaugh like they did, he just puts up walls and barriers that cause Jim to constantly have to hurdle over everything. But the thing I believe rankles JH the most is that Warde never once publicly backed up any of Harbaugh's gripes with the B1G, NCAA, or opposing coaches/administrators that took shots at UM football. (Except the one time when Purdue broke Speight's neck and seat-belted him into a passenger van for transport to an actual hospital.) More often than not, Warde sided with the aggressor's rather than with his own program. In fact, pretty much every time someone dug at UM and Harbaugh responded, Warde chastised him for it. Several times that was public, also. Never once did Harbaugh instigate any of that bullshit...
Prevent? Warde directed the first three games! That was his idea to appease the NCAA to stop BurgerGate, and he went through with it despite the NCAA telling him it wasn't going to stop!
I watched it a lot growing up, and want to remember it as a good show. But you're right - it was not. LOL!!! Soo stoopid, it was more like an SNL comedy sketch turned into a weekly series...
I don't get the Clemons love. I mean, I get that he has the perfect measurements for a WR. But he never really showed it on the field. Morris played earlier than he did, and played a helluva lot more. I'd have been way more upset if Morris had bolted than Clemons, if that situation was reversed.
The guy coached multiple positions to really nice results and coordinated some of the best special teams in CFB. Your comment is dumb, and you should feel bad about it...
Sainristil had him dead to rights with a good snap... If nothing else, he would have forced a quick throw somewhere - and that is not what Milroe was good at.
I think Juwan has proven that he can handle some adversity under pressure. The guy played bball at a pretty high level for a hundred years. Personality, though, can very well differ from what we saw on the court. He's never really been the outgoing talker that the other Fab Five'rs were. He let Chris and Jalen handle those chores...
You know, now that I think of it, why did it take so long for one-touch window up/down to invade 'Murica? Seriously - most cars still don't have that for all four windows, most have it for the drivers window. But c'mon!
The old ways of NIL are sustainable from a financial perspective, but the longer view is that players will be employees the next time SCOTUS gets ahold of a case (if not before even that). By doing this, they corner the market on the other conferences/schools, get the players onboard willingly, and define the financial obligations and pay scales.
It's 'market leadership' that results in the same'ol people controlling the flow of money.
Warde is along for the ride on this one. No chance he gets interviewed, questioned, or requested by media regarding this issue. Whatever Skankey and Petitti say is good, Warde will echo.

So kudos to Warde for not shooting her down?
Why would you want her to be like Dave Brandon?
Da'fuck is kelp seasoning?
What took the Indy Star so long to do this?

FREE THE KIDS!!!
Give him 3 or 4! And some biscuits and chocolate milk to go with it...
Moore was OL coach from Jan 2021-Spring 2023. Were all those guys before 2021? WTH!!!
Also, Michigan won the Joe Moore in the 2021 and 2022 seasons - when Moore was the OL coach.
Wish he would have said that while coaching Michigan...
I thought the originator of QAnon had expressed his (her?) opinion of season tickets...
Peyton introduced Tom at the end of the night, saying "0-3 in Super Bowls..." TB returned the favor - "...you will forever be in my shadow."
In fairness, I don't think Gronk understood half the insults hurled at him... LOL!!!
Nikki earned her Standing-O - her set was outstanding!
There's always Peyton's 'alleged' treatment of female staff in the UTenn locker room to fall back on as a reason to dislike him. But as a player, he was really good.
Just not as good as Charles...

You were right to divorce her.
Dude! Take one (or 3-4) for the team! Prolly gonna need all the help against Texas, Oregon, and maybe even USC (but probably not).

Da fuck is wrong with you? Superstitions are the way we impact the game from the couch. How do you not know this?
Forget tackling him, I don't want to be his target block... JFC.

I'd flip off Warde, too...
As much fun as that would be, Jim MF'in Harbuagh will never coach football at any college ever again. He'll retire from the NFL.
Prevent? Warde directed the first three games! That was his idea to appease the NCAA to stop BurgerGate, and he went through with it despite the NCAA telling him it wasn't going to stop!
Nicely done... You've watched a few episodes in your time!
Is this where we practice saying the word "NO"?
Illingworth was so bad that he couldn't even get on the field for Nevad, let alone at Nevada! I mean, if you can't play at Nevad, dude, retire...
I'm honestly not sure if Cade would beat out Tuttle and/or play well enough to keep the Orji-ffense off the field.
I watched it a lot growing up, and want to remember it as a good show. But you're right - it was not. LOL!!! Soo stoopid, it was more like an SNL comedy sketch turned into a weekly series...

There are dozens of decent-good Indian restaurants on every block in England. The Brits LOVE them some Indian food...
So Locksley hired Brian Ferentz to help out OC Josh Gattis? This seems sus, as the kids say...
I mean, Gattis needs help, but Ferentz the Younger? LMAO!!!!
Offensive Coordinator at a perennial top 20 team to offensive analyst at a perennial 'next 40' team is falling up?

Why do you have portal alerts setup for Spartoons?
Quad brought receipts!!

HAHAHAHAAAAA!!!! You're funny!! Where is your gig scheduled? I'll buy a ticket!
