Cumong, man. At least let the man have 100 points since they're broken and he can't earn any.

The RichRod and Brady Hoke years kicked my ass and uploading videos became A LOT less fun.  (Seriously, do fans really want to relive a 42-37 victory over mighty UMass?)  So I pretty much retired. Fortunately, there were others to take over once Harbaugh got hired. 

I think there must be a joke I'm missing here.  Because I looked myself up and I am NOT cut from YouTube.  Honest.  I did a pulse check and I'm alive.

I'll tell the actual story.

In 2012 T3 media started shutting down everyone's college football channels and pulling their videos off. I contacted them and told them that WH, mgovideo, jcbakkar and my videos weren't causing any harm as we weren't profiting off of them. They then went and shut down the mgovideo torrent site in addition to the channels because I drew attention to it.

All of WH's videos were thought to be lost......but they were not because my 17 year old self downloaded all of his videos for my collection so I got together with another mgoblog member karpodiem and uploaded them all to an external hard drive and then put them on a torrent in an archive.

T3 eventually removed their ban and WH and others had their videos restored so long as we didn't profit off them. 

WH stopped making videos because he couldn't get HD highlights with his recorder. The guy who lost mgovideo and I buried the hatchet years ago.

If true, I hope you learned a valuable lesson - businesses have no altruistic value or identity.  Whatever thoughts for good you may have, are not shared by business.  Don't ever trust a business to do good - especially when such 'good' does not positively impact its bottom line.

I used to defend lawsuits with claims of brain damage and got to know a lot about how it gets tested for. It's important to account for the person's age. I'm sure that won't come as a surprise to anyone, but the extent of the relationship with age is startling. Get this: On the most widely used battery of tests, the average 40-year old scores in the brain damage range.

I used to think that was funny. Then I turned 40.

I don’t know what fair has to do with it.  I’m not saying it’s right to bring up someone’s kids on here, quite the contrary.  What I’m saying is you’re giving a person that ammunition by bringing them up yourself.

Its like telling the whole board that you’re fat and being surprised when someone makes a fat joke at your expense.

If there are topics you don’t want people making inappropriate comments about then don’t advertise them in the first place.
