Malik McDowell Likely to be Cut
Obviously have seen the story on the ATV, but hadn't seen a statement this direct and specific posted.

injured? Don't care to look it up, or anything about him, just curious if that's the reason he will be cut.

Story says never fully recovered from ATV injury.
Tough consequences for the kid.
April 17th, 2018 at 10:31 AM ^
he got hurt pretty bad, the consensus is he may never recover enough to play a down in the NFL.
That being said, the article states the Seahawks may debate about going after the money he was paid, since he did it to himself and likely will never play for them.

if he a rider clause stating no motorcycles, ATV's, skateboarding, etc.... in his contract.
April 17th, 2018 at 11:54 AM ^
I see what you did there!
he wont be playing another down of football. Head injury too severe and long lasting.

His accident has nothing to do with his decision to come to Michigan.

Ah man. While the next Einstein was cleaned up with a tissue...we got you.

Good grief. This MSU burger flipping thing... I'm over it, man. I know lots of ably employed MSU grads (I am not an MSU grad FWIW, go Lakers) who are doing just fine. I think we can stop with the 'what if he came to Michigan' BS. He made his decision. His life is what it is. We shouldn't wish for a bad career outcome for anyone, regardless of where they played football... this is dumb.
Maybe you can just go away.
That would be good.

You're. Sorry you're stuck with me. It's you're, not your. First rule of running down someone else's education is to read your rant carefully and correct for junior high grammar errors. Just stop digging, click the little x up in the corner of your browser window, and move on to something else.

Stop digging.
Grow up. This is life we're talking about, not sports.

It's a bush league jab. Take a look at what it takes to get into MSU these days. They're not taking stooges. I understand that the football players don't have to meet those standards for admittance but that doesn't change the fact that the "knock" is lame.
I hate the spartoons more than the next guy but be more creative.
in the mid 00's. We had 4 different MSU grads working there at one time. None of which were flipping burgers. 3 servers and 1 bartender.
All of which have now gone onto bigger and better things."
So yes, MSU grads were not burger flippers. They were burger servers.

The recent Mbem-Bosse thread truly demonstrates how McDowell may have never acted this way had he just come to Michigan...
You can blast MSU for a lot of things lately, and it may in fact be true that MSU was a poor environment for him. It may also in fact be true that McDowell has his own issues and was going to have issues wherever he landed.
Maybe Corley doesn't screw up if he goes to Michigan, because he is put in a different situation. Maybe Boubacar Cissoko reaches his potential outside of football if he leaves a lot of his bad influences behind. Certainly, circumstances can change an outcome, but it's often extremely difficult to know what those circumstances are before you're in them. McDowell would have been closer to a lot of his poor influences at Michigan, even if there were other reasons his mom supposedly didn't like him at MSU.
But to act like he would have been a Rhodes Scholar because he went to UM is just being blinded. This guy had issues at MSU, he had issues after he left MSU (when this accident happened). He ended up doing him and his family no favors, which is a damn shame, in my opinion, because he had a ton of talent.

His name rhymes with Trace Panbender.

I'd like to imagine Trace Panbender being Ace's evil twin...with a mullet and a Ron Swanson-esque mustache

You don't deserve the ability to upvote and I don't think you deserve the ability to comment. You have been on quite a troll streak lately.

What Mbem-Bosse thread? Please elaborate.
You can't just look at the board and find the thread that's 6 below this one?

I guess I don't care... back to work

Check your email - usually there is an explanation sent when you get Bolivia'd.

Then please take a moment and reflect on your recent posting history. It's the least you can do to make this world a better place for all of us.
