Mr.TaterSalad

Looks like we'll have backups starting at both interior Guard spots too. Have they announced that Mahogany is going to start today?

We have a practice squad guy starting at Center . . . YIKES!

Maybe Michigan should hire Tony Annese from Ferris State after they won a 4th straight National Title lol. What the hell, it worked for Ohio State hiring Jim Tressel from Youngstown State.

Is this lowlife who Democrats and Democratic candidates really want representing them on the campaign trail?

He gets prime time speaking slote at the national party convention. He gets brought out on the campaign trail every election to campaign for candidates. He needs to go away and never be brought back again. When he's spoken of in the history books and taught about in schools and studied academically, his legacy of alleged sexual assaults, groping women, and close association with a child pedophile need to be studied. He's a piece of **** and Democrats can't to claim to be the anti-Epstein party if this guy is going to be out there, front and center, on the campaign trail and given prime time speaking slots at national party conventions.

Then why is he still out on the campaign trail every election cycle? Why does he get a prime time speaking spot at the conventions? I wouldnt want an alleged rapist and pervert like Slick Willie campaigning for me and I don't want him out there for our candidates. We can't claim to be the anti-Espstein party and have Clinton out there campaigning and speaking on behalf of our candidates.

I've hated and loathed Bill Clinton my entire life. When I was a right wing, libertarian I hated him in my college years. Since I've become a progressive-minded person over this past 10-12 years, I've hated him even more. His moral character is in the gutter of society. He is a repugnant human being, who has done reprehensible things (only allegedly in some cases) to other people, but in particular women. Not only is his moral character in the gutter, but his Presidency made him look little better. Were there good things that Clinton did as President? Undoubtedly, yes there were. But the bad far out weighs the good. Doubling the extreme rate of poverty by gutting welfare, increasing the incarceration rate with the 94 Crime Bill, economic deregulation, bad trade deals, a growth in corporate power. Clinton's policies were as bad as his character. If Democrats are going to criticize Donald Trump because of his connections to pedophile Jeffery Epstein and Trump's treatment of women, then we have to share the same critique of Clinton or we lose all credulity. The Democratic Party's relationship with Clinton need be done. There is no reason to continue go associate with this scumbag any longer. Not with the release of his name and pictures all over the Epstein Files.

Also wild and wrong that a team with a losing record from the NFC South will potentially get a playoff birth while an 11 win team won't make it in.

The thing about Brohm is that he is a Louisville alum is he not? I know money talks loudly in CFB these days, so we might be able to get him away based on that alone. But the alma mater thing might be bonus points for Louisville.

Let's say we don't get one of the top tier of coaches. No Cignetti, DeBoer, Dillingham, Fisch, or Minter. Who is next on your list after the A Tier coaches? A name I put on my list that has flown under the radar, but intrigues me, is Broncos Defensive Assistant/Passing Game Coordinator and former Wisconsin Badgers DC Jim Leonhard. Currently he coaches on the staff for the top ranked defense in the NFL. He has experience coaching and recruiting in the Big Ten. He seems to be a good fit culturally and wasn't apart of any scandals at either Wisconsin or Illinois. I'm not saying he's a top choice of mine, he isn't. I might not actually hire him either if I feel I can get a better name. But I actually don't think I would be mad or that underwhelmed if Leonard was at least given an interview.

I don't know if Billy is the best technical guitar player out there today in music. But damn if he isn't a good picker and player. Here's a video of him before he made it big-ish.

If ever there was a music artist that existed today, but you felt like they time traveled from a different decade it's Zach Top. Zach Top is straight out of the 1990s with his obvious 90s country sound. It's clear he was influenced by the likes of Alan Jackson, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Clay Walker, Pam Tillis, Patty Loveless, Reba, etc. Here he is with a 90's country take on one of my favorite Christmas songs doing a cover of Dolly Parton's Hard Candy Christmas.

I was sad to hear of the passing of Raul Malo. I am no Mavericks superfan, but they always put out quality records. They were one of those alt-country/americana pioneers in the 1990s along with artists and groups like Lucinda Williams, Steve Earle, Son Volt, Uncle Tupelo, Wilco. They also blended country, rock, and Tejano styles to create their own unique sound. RIP!

The guys name on the account is **** Johnson. But yeah, that's not cool.

The Jets did fire Al Groh after a single season there years back. So Woody Johnson has done it before as Jets owner.

Do you want him back if this were to happen?

If Trump is lowering drug prices by 600%, does that mean we will actually get paid for taking prescriptions in the future? If you take a $100 prescription drug and you cut the price in half by 50% it is going to be $50 dollars cost to you. If you cut the price by 100% it is going to be free. If you cut the cost by 600% it is going to be a net payment of $600 to the consumer, no? If that's the case, give me aids, amebic dysentery, the crabs, rubella, syphilis, tardive dyskinesia. Give me it all and I'll be rich in no time.

Kevin Warren really is this dumb too. He actually pens a letter to season ticket holders, puts in a threat that they are moving to the Gary, IN area, and believes his paying customers are really that dumb to believe the NFL would allow a team to relocate to Gary, IN. The place is a hellhole and one of the worst metropolitan areas in the nation. No disrespect to the people there, but it just is. Then, Warren has the balls to say that this threat to move to Gary, IN is not about leverage in the letter itself. It's 100% about leverage. The threat to move to Gary is all about leverage to get your taxpayers to pony up money for a new stadium. What a joke Warren and the Bears are. L-O-****ING-L!!!

LOL BEARS! I am really surprised the NFL would allow a team to relocate to . . . checks notes . . . Gary, IN. If you're going to put a team in Gary too then you might as well give Michigan a second NFL team in Flint. And if Gary Indiana can support an NFL team, then damnit Quebec can support an NHL team. I'm looking at you GARY Bettman.

Is former Utah coach Kyle Wittingham a realistic option in your mind? I like him a lot, but left him off of my list because I assumed at 66 years old he was done with coaching and truly retired when he left Utah.

Who had a public cheating scandal that has been on the rumored Michigan radar? Are you referring to Fleck?

Maybe we'll be adding a swastika under Trump's portrait in the future?

There is no intellectual argument for almost anything MAGA and the Republican Party supports. Not on healthcare most especially.

In all seriousness, I know the Curt Cignetti to Michigan discussion is really a moot point. I'm 99% certain, like most, that he isn't leaving a nearly $12 million/year salary and the chance to retire as King of Indiana. He's got it made, he's making a ton of money, and he has a lot less stress to perform at Indiana than he would at Michigan. He can win 7-8 games or more a year and the university and fans will love him no matter what. Cignetti is still far and away my top choice. I would still call him up with an aggressive offer and even allow him to be a significant part of the search for a new AD, promising to fire Warde if he signs here. With the Cignetti talk out of the way, this is probably my ranking of potential next coaches at Michigan. Keeping in mind that hiring a coach is only half the problem, we must fire Warde if we want to bring real, meaningful, ethical changes to this scandal-ridden athletic department. #1: Kenny Dillingham/Arizona State HC: He has built a real nice program at Arizona State. They are a non-traditional winner within the power 5 schools. Outside of that year they had jake Plummer back in the 1990s, they have had little success/. He has manages to recruit a solid foundation of good college players and a few NFL players. He's built the program up to a CFB Playoff contender in the NIL and portal era. #2: Jesse Minter/LA Chargers DC: The reasons to want him and not want him are obvious. It may be that the university wants to move completely past the Harbaugh era that was ridden with scandal. if they do, I can certainly understand why. I can also see the university being arrogant about it and trying to deflect and deny there was ever a problem at all. That said, if Minter's hands are clean of any of the recruiting violations, Connor Stalions cheating, other issues, I'd consider him for sure. He may be waiting for an NFL job though. #3: Jedd Fisch/Washington HC: I am both hot and cold on Fisch. He hasn't exactly lit the world on fire as a coach, but did have nice, sustained success at another hard to recruit and win at school in Arizona. He has the Michigan ties too, which always seems to be a benefit for coaching candidates. I like the guy well enough that I would feel satisfied if he was our hire. #4: Joe Brady/Buffalo Bills OC: The architect of the 2019 LSU offense and the current OC for the Buffalo Bills. He’s young, a brilliant offensive mind, has college coaching and recruiting experience, and is due for a big head coaching job somewhere. #5: Glenn Schumann/Georgia DC: The most coveted defensive assistant in the country. He has been the right-hand man to Kirby Smart for years at a power 5, SEC school. I would presume that he also understands how to recruit and manage a roster full of 5-star talent, high-paid players, and big egos coaching at Georgia. He's only 35 I believe and has no midwest ties, so those are strikes against him. Also, if you're looking to change the culture, I don't know that hiring a Georgia HC is going to do it, given their problems down there. #6: Jason Eck/New Mexico HC: One of the big up and coming coaching names. He has midwest ties having played at Wisconsin. #7: Bryant Haines/Indiana DC: The secret weapon behind Indiana's historic 2024-2025 run. His man-match schemes have shutdown high-powered Big Ten offenses all year. Look what they did to Ohio in the Big Ten Championship game, they completely neutered them. #8 Jim Leonhard/Broncos Defensive Assistant and former Wisconsin DC: Probably the guy Wisconsin should have fired instead of my boy Luke Fickell. Leonhard has the midwest recruiting and Big Ten coaching experience you might want in a hire. He is also one of the younger names out there too, with a lot of room to grow. His coaching and recruiting experience in minimal, but not that much less so than some of the others on people's lists. And then there's John Harbaugh/Ravens HC: If and only if he gets fired, he is my instant #2 choice behind Cignetti. If he were to get fired and Michigan still hasn't found its coach, I would immediately call Harbaugh. He probably says no and would almost assuredly get another NFL job. But I think this is another example where you have to make the call.
