fun freep typo
I know some consider the Free Press to be unmentionable so I won't link its report on the Iowa game.
But I thought folks would enjoy this typo from the report.
"Iowa's longtime coach went on a tirade and was assed a technical foul and had to be restrained by assistant coaches."

Clearly Fran should be fired.
According to this bit from the Washington Post, Mahomes will likely be out of the league as well:
“The red crowd lingered in the bottom ring of Arrowhead booing until it sounded like a collective moan, and on the sideline Mahomes rampaged, screaming toward the officials so furiously that it took four men to hold him back.”
Once we get Juwan, Fran and Mahomes out, we can work on the rest. Hopefully we will can have sports without raised voices.

Can we also please have discussions about civic issues without raised voices? Can we also please have people take responsibility for vicious social media posts? Sports is just another example of the toxicity of "civil" discourse.

Overtook the ass

Your avatar + invoking "Overtaking Ass" is pure comedy.

So like an enema, a technical enema?
December 11th, 2023 at 7:06 AM ^
Dude (OP), it's really important to include the evidence so the Freep can't issue any plausible denials. :)

I couldn't even find the typo in the OP (no sleep, in a government office waiting room all day). But when you frame it like this, the Ass is so clear.

So “Abracadabra” gets you tossed from the game? Or was it the more sinister death curse from Harry Potter?
December 11th, 2023 at 11:42 AM ^
just google "assed" and i'm sure it will be fine
December 11th, 2023 at 7:06 AM ^
Well, that's better than getting it wrong entirely.
"Where's Bob?"
"He stole some groceries yesterday apparently...."
December 11th, 2023 at 9:01 AM ^
To the fullest extent of the law.
December 11th, 2023 at 9:24 AM ^
No I didn't!

Print is dead.

Iowa tends to get assed.

The Freep is garbage. They may as well have Valenti and Caputo writing for them in that the majority of their writers go out of their way to disparage U of M.
December 11th, 2023 at 8:20 AM ^
I had to read it like 5 times before I saw it so I can see how this got through editing
December 11th, 2023 at 8:34 AM ^
Though deeply rooted in its application Fran has once again chosen to put it behind him.
December 11th, 2023 at 9:01 AM ^
He got assed for sure.
December 11th, 2023 at 9:38 AM ^
Haha yes haha... Now tell us again why you were reading the freep, comrade?
December 11th, 2023 at 10:40 AM ^
Ah. You noticed...

I can get behind this freep commentary.
It struck me again last week, as I drove around downtown Lansing looking for a parking lot I'd been told was right across from the Lansing State Journal, where I planned to work for the day: This is a sad little town.
I go to Lansing as infrequently as is possible for someone in my position, which turns out to be not very often at all. But I still remember the first time I traveled to the state capital, shortly after I joined the Free Press in 2012.
"Yeesh," I thought to myself. "These are the people who look down on Detroit?"
But it wasn't until Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's second inauguration that I had an important epiphany. My 12-year-old son wanted to see our statewide officials sworn in, so we piled into the car on a frigid January day and made the 90-minute trek to up I-96. We parked on a nearby side street, and walked about a block to the Capitol lawn, where what seemed like maybe 500 people had assembled. (Roughly .4% of the Lansing population!)
"If we did this in Detroit, we could get a thousand people, easy," I thought to myself.
That's when it hit me, sheer elegance in its simplicity: Move the capital to Detroit.

Iowa coaches freaking out and getting penalized against Michigan is this season's hot new trend!
