OT: MDen thinks Blake Corum is moving to Tight End

Submitted by ImRightYouKnow on June 5th, 2023 at 9:30 AM

Just got an email from MDen offing autographed trading cards for "Michigan Tight End, Blake Corum"

C'mon MDen, have someone proof read these email blasts first

My 20-ish year old daughter binge-watched Seinfeld in its entirety during the pandemic just to see what the big deal was.   She charted how many times she laughed during the process.   I don't recall the final laugh count, but it was paltry.  Maybe under 10.   Yet she persevered and completed the experiment.

"i have never watched a single episode of that show, and i don't plan to do so."

 

No negs, to each his own, but it was brilliant, IMHO. I think I am correct in saying three shows finished their run at #1, and all had the main character as the title of the show. Seinfeld was one of the three, obviously. I'll leave the other two as an exercise for the reader, just for fun (just like back in Calculus).

To me, never watching Seinfeld is like never having watched The Office. Two absolute classics. But, again, watch what you like!

The Office was the much funnier of the two shows. Rarely missed it.

I tried again and again to find a reason to get hooked on Seinfeld, and did find certain things about it hilarious, but there were too many "meh" episodes for it to be must-watch TV for me.  If I had to name my top ten comedy shows of all time, "The Office" would definitely be included but not Seinfeld.

you're right.  deserves at least a bit of nuance.  start with the fact for probably 25 years i/we don't watch TV other than during CFB season, and other than football and michigan hoops, done.  since covid we don't stop the subscription in january but still limit TV to CFB, CBB, and the occasional movie on demand, like an amazon or netflix thing. 

to the point of the show, i have seen several snippets over the years and here on mgo and it always seems like a neurosis festival even in the 30 second snippets.  so not my cup of tea but being rightly called out for being overly blunt, it is good that folks find it entertaining.

It does appear Blake is more versatile than many give him credit for.

He's an exceptional example of a Michigan athlete - great leader on the field and in the community.

If Blake doesn't represent what, I think, the ideal of NIL is about, who does?

Looking forward to seeing Blake in the opener - and throughout the season this fall.

Go Blue!
