Freep Headline - priceless
Michigan's DeShawn Harris, Manny Sims do everything to avoid being draft dodgers
by Mark Snyder
NOT INSULTING.
A: There's not a draft on.
B: Nobody is stupid enough to somehow think that that infers Harris and Sims did somethign wrong.
C: If a player gets drafted or not, that's not a commentary on the school he played at.
Read it again
I think you missed the point. Read the headline again
I just naturally assumed the thread was to complain about the Freep attacking M.
I guess I don't get to participate in the laughs at the Freep's expense, then.
However, you must admit that if there was a draft, Manny Sims and DeShawn Harris would be nowhere to be found.
DeShawn Harris, a little town just outside of Phoenix.
"I joined the army 'cause my father and my brother were in the army. I thought I'd better join before I got drafted."
"Son, there ain't no draft no more."
"There was one?"
Somewhere, Jalen Webber is laughing hysterically.
Where you typed in "priceless," I believe you were looking for the term "worthless."
No worries, everyone makes these small mistakes.
Pardon my language, but....
Who the fuck cares???
Check the names.
I saw the mix up of names. I stand by my original statement. Do we really need a thread for this? Maybe we should have one big stickied thread titled "Freep Fuckups". It's alliterative, so there's some irony with headlines and such, and it will become the largest thread in MGoBlog history by 3:14pm tomorrow.
This article was actually positive. The headline was a bit funny. He was sharing the humor. It'll be ok.
Can it top 1273 responses by 3:14 PM tomorrow?

Seriously, just have some fun with this.
... im still pissed about the officiating, that game cost me my cell phone
I hope not... ;-)
If Freep threads bother you so much, it is possible to just skip over them........
he doesn't care. No wait...
Thanks for spelling it out or I would have missed it.
I'd bet that Manny Sims probably isn't getting worked up about it.
and ignoring the innocent name gaffe, headlines are not written by the writers. they are very often not written by the editors. they are instead written by page/copy editors who often hate their lives, the deadlines they are currently forced under and wish to self-amuse for the evening.
this is the equivalent of blaming a cabal of "haters" for the failures to get results, recruits, wins or performance from players.
oh wait.
So you're saying someone at the Freep decided, "Hey, I need some fun, I'll make up a headline where I switch the first and last names of these two guys!"
I mean, I don't know that's false, but it sure doesn't sound like something that someone would do on purpose unless they were twelve years old.
"and ignoring the name gaffe" - i was handling the side topic people already jumped on when they didn't notice the mixup
I think what he was trying to say was "The Editors at the Freep are just as stupid/careless as the writers"
Naturally, that makes a lot more sense
It's Corperryale Sims...
can work in moderation and when they're clever. This? Nyet.
No one in the UP is that attractive.
I don't know.. that second guy on the left....
Ooops, wait, wrong photo.
Courtney Cox?
hence the pun
I know why you posted this, but there's yet another screwup in the screen shot. The tragic crash that killed the mom and daughter from Ann Arbor involved FIELD HOCKEY, not ice hockey. Jesus christ, freep. How much ice hockey do they see in Virginia Beach, anyway?
Damn I'm getting old!!!
is the Devil, Bobby!
those Militia look like your typical Buckeye fans
Why do we care? Posting anything Freep-related supports the Freep.
The Freep is a credible newspaper.
edit: sarcasm, guys.
... and the headline is *still* @#$%ed up. High-quality paper!
Where did you get original props from the forthcoming feature film "Splice Two: Dilithium Unleashed?"
Laughed out loud at the coach name, my officemate now officially knows I just read Mgoblog all day.
'bout that
I think a better coach's name would be Bennie "the Oosterjet" Rodriguez.
A bit of a reach on the Sandlot reference, IMO, but I still +1'd you because that movie is freaking awesome.
They STILL can't get drafted? I don't believe that at all. That would be one awesome player. Or would it be two? I'm so confused....
The Raiders? Al Davis sell the team to someone who knows what their doing in 2011?
He just doesn't know what he's SUPPOSED to be doing.
