I heard rumors that there might be other football-related news today, but I heard this story on the way to work and heard Vladimir Emilien being asked questions about coaching football in China.

Just seeing the name made me more hyped for the day than I was. I think I'm going to go on a Posbang crusade now.

...the other former player referenced was Chris McLaurin, who is the league's commissioner.
I'm predicting satellite camps in Shanghai in 2018.

Always had a soft spot for Vlad.

I always think of him as "Vlad the Impaler". Was that a thing on here?
I'm pretty sure it was. And if it wasn't, it should have been.

Hell yeah it was.

I listened to NPR on my half hour commute and heard University of Michigan in two separate stories - the OP football story had two Wolverines and then there was a mention of a study done by the Law School on exoneration. It's a Maize and Blue Day!

I listened to Shade45 on my commute.
