Congratulations to Andy Reid. A class dude.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:04 PM ^
Back to back years the game-winning play was made by a Michigan DE.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:06 PM ^
? Didn’t the patriots win last year?
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:21 PM ^
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:25 PM ^
I have no recollection of that. As far as I'm concerned, the Eagles were the last team to win a super bowl
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:04 PM ^
Congratulations on not having to hear assclowns talk about how SF won a SB without Harbaugh.
February 3rd, 2020 at 12:13 PM ^
Honestly this is why I was rooting for the Chiefs. That and Bosa of course. I have no feelings about Frank Clark. I guess he made some plays in the Sugar Bowl but he was part of an era that was forgettable at best.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:05 PM ^
BTW. Frank Clark is not a model human.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:21 PM ^
People make mistakes. Get off your high horse ass jockey.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:29 PM ^
Yea, I mean who amongst us hasn’t punched a girlfriend in the face and picked her up by the neck and slammed her? Total mistake.
Fuck you and fuck any one defending this piece of shit. I hope no one you care about ever has to experience that.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:53 PM ^
I’m sure a lot of people have best people up. Acting like beating up a woman is any worse than a man is sexist and shows your gross sexism. If he beat a skinny dude at a bar you wouldn’t blink an eye.
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:02 PM ^
Gucci...this is a pretty shit take.
February 3rd, 2020 at 5:52 AM ^
He's usually got for some scorchers like this. I can't say I'm surprised he's the one to come in and defend Clark. He probably thinks Lewan is a good dude too
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:03 PM ^
Go back five minutes, think about what you’re going to post and think, hmmm..... yeah, it sounded much better in my head. If that doesn’t do it, look at your point total.
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:04 PM ^
Terrible trolling attempt. Try harder.
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:10 PM ^
I’ve beat people up. I’ve never beat up a woman. Even my Ex-Wife who thought it a good idea to hit me. You just don’t beat the hell out of a woman. Period.
February 3rd, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
You don’t beat the hell out if any human. I maintain beating up an overmatched man is just as bad as beating up a woman. To say beating up a woman is worse you are implying they are inferior, and need to be taken lightly.
February 4th, 2020 at 1:47 PM ^
Nobody’s defending that obviously, but maybe people don’t GAF about some performer’s personal life?
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:31 PM ^
Thanks Eli. I may have gone a little too far. People do make mistakes. Assholes, however, beat women.
February 3rd, 2020 at 7:50 AM ^
I get it, he made a terrible decision to attack his girlfriend. But when does someone stop and say give the kid credit for turning his life around. People fuck up sometimes, however I’m a believer in what do you do after those situations. From what I’ve seen the guy has been pretty clean since. So don’t try to bash him for his missteps if you can’t recognize the road that he has taken since.
February 3rd, 2020 at 8:36 AM ^
Do we know what he has done? Is he speaking about violence against women in schools? Is he still beating up women? I’m genuinely curious as I have no idea. The only thing I remember is him harassing a female journalist for bringing up his DV case when Greg Hardy stuff was going on in 2017. So I don’t really have any proof he has changed all that much.
February 3rd, 2020 at 9:47 AM ^
I don't care anymore what anyone I don't personally know does OFF the field/court/ring etc... I have my own problems to worry about and don't have the time or the energy to keep up with these guys off the field.
Don't want anything bad to happen obviously but don't also concern myself with it either. The athletic part of their lives as is where my relationship starts and ends.
On that note also never got into rooting for someone who once used to play for one of "my teams" and no longer does.
Once they are gone i no longer feel any connection to them.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:33 PM ^
+1 for ass jockey though
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:08 PM ^
A mistake isn’t whooping the shit out of a young woman. A mistake is shoplifting or driving after a few beers. FC is a piece of shit.
February 3rd, 2020 at 6:27 AM ^
I think driving after a few beers makes you a huge piece of shit and you should be in jail for a long time for that.
February 3rd, 2020 at 9:17 AM ^
Umm....shoplifting doesn't kill people.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:26 PM ^

He has demonstrated contrition that seems to be genuine and he has not been a repeat offender. People do bad things—sometimes they're pretty terrible. If a person does a terrible thing, shows no remorse, and continues to do that terrible thing, I think it's okay to brand them as a bad person. As far as I know, Frank Clark is a one time offender.
Even if you don't subscribe to some religion that explicitly requires forgiving others and giving them another chance, I think any coherent system of morality would lead one to doing so. If Frank Clark had refused to own up to what he did and demonstrate no remorse, I would totally understand wanting to ostracize him from the Michigan community. I also would have had a problem if we had kept him on the team at that time. But at this point, I'm not ashamed to call him a Michigan man.
February 3rd, 2020 at 7:33 AM ^
Home invasion, beating up a woman, and then verbally abusing a young reporter who had the gall to write about his past, including making sexually explicit remarks to her? Yea, no thanks. Jesus, some people on this blog will excuse any behavior because someone happens to be good at sports and plays for your team.
February 3rd, 2020 at 7:55 AM ^
Kobe's death has me curious about this, especially with those on the left.
By the standard set by those on the left in the media, Kobe Bryant was a rapist. Full stop, no questions asked.
Yet positive story after positive story flowed out after his death, almost all of them by people who would no doubt post a #BelieveAllWomen on their twitter account.
So does this mean there is a certain point where as an individual who does a terrible thing, you can work your way back into the good graces of society? Or is it just the privilege of wealth? Or the privilege of being on the right side?
For instance, if Brock Turner (Stanford swimmer who committed sexual assault and is held up by people on the left as the epitome of campus sexual assault and white privilege) spends his life being a model human being, will he be forgiven in the same manner as Kobe Bryant?
And if you can be forgiven for these things, can you really try and shame people for supporting those either have committed horrible acts or are accused of them?
Its an interesting topic of discussion.
February 3rd, 2020 at 9:33 AM ^
There was an interesting article in the Guardian on the topic:
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/feb/01/kobe-bryant-rape-2003-case-how-much-has-changed
A couple observations from it:
His accuser has said she believes the incident changed him dramatically and that he ultimately became a much better person, supporting women's causes, homelessness, etc. Whether or not you believe it was related to the alleged rape, it's an interesting situation because had the event happened in 2020 instead of 2003, the impact to Kobe would have likely been much more significant and perhaps he wouldn't have had the opportunity to have the same level of positive impact in subsequent years (not that he couldn't have still become a better person; but would his platform to effect change been much smaller)?
All that said, the Frank Clark situation also feels a bit different than Kobe because the level of contrition (and visible efforts to have positive impact) seems to be at least somewhat different.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:07 PM ^
When did the masses start pimping Clark as "our guy"?!
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:17 PM ^
When he started doing well in the NFL.
Pretty hypocritical stuff considering we call out osu and msu for doing the same thing whether it's their pimping of tressel/urban or izzo.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:22 PM ^
Shut up kid.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:40 PM ^
If I’m a kid to you at 24 then you must an old man.
February 3rd, 2020 at 9:25 AM ^
Anyone under 25 is still a kid in my eyes and has been since I was 35. Why do you think the government still allows them to be covered under their parent's health insurance?
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
February 3rd, 2020 at 3:14 AM ^
Suspended as a sophomore for 2nd degree home invasion. Stole a MacBook Air laptop out of a dorm. So he was no model citizen.
Then went on to demonstrate his prowess at beating a woman.
Fuck him.
February 3rd, 2020 at 7:48 AM ^
Those are not even comparable situations. In both those cases OSU and MSU were enabling and covering up domestic violence (OSU) and sexual assault (MSU). I don't know what you mean by "same stuff." Frank Clark was never a coach at Michigan so it doesn't make sense to me how you're comparing him to people like Tressel, Meyer, and Izzo.
When Frank Clark got in trouble Hoke promptly kicked him off the team even though he was one of our best players on the field.
I don't know what's hypocritical about being happy for a guy who was once headed down the wrong path but has matured and become a success. What would have been tragic is if he had played for a school like OSU or MSU that would have tried to sweep his off the field problems under the rug—if that were the case he might not have learned and become a better person. Frank Clark had a terrible upbringing. He clearly has impulse control issues and needed moral guidance. Under the guidance of Dantonio or Meyer I wouldn't be surprised if he had become a McDowell or a Hernandez.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:22 PM ^
When he enrolled at Michigan.
No disrespect, but this is the stupidest fucking question I've seen all day
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:06 PM ^
Oh cornman thinks my question is stupid...the horror! Continue your ways munchkin.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:07 PM ^
I'm happy for Henne; the less said about Frank Clark the better.
February 3rd, 2020 at 1:35 PM ^
Really? I could care less about Henne. I’m not sure you want him as your UofM representative either. Not to mention he threw exactly zero live passes this year. Congrats on being in the right place at the right time I suppose.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:09 PM ^
Glad for Henne.
Fuck Frank Clark.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
Fuck you.
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:30 PM ^
You have a lovely evening defending Frank Clark.
February 2nd, 2020 at 11:06 PM ^
You're a bit of a dunce aren't ya?!
February 3rd, 2020 at 8:16 AM ^
must've lost some money last night
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:12 PM ^
Stop. You’re triggering me
February 2nd, 2020 at 10:12 PM ^
Can also finally stop hearing about the "beef" between Sherman and Harbaugh...
