You're right on the morality…

You're right on the morality of the religions referenced, however over 30 years passed between her ripping the photo on SNL and her conversion to Islam.

I'm not sure calling it a lack of "moral constancy" is a fair way to frame those facts.

It blows my mind that they…

It blows my mind that they get rid of good reporters & on-air talent and yet they continue to keep that blathering idiot SAS around, not to mention the fact they pay him an ungodly amount.  

The guy's a jerk, period…

The guy's a jerk, period. Add what he did to Mitch Marner (as a rookie) in Toronto to the long list of a-hole incidents in his coaching career.

To summarize: He made Mitch rank all his teammates by the amount of effort they were giving. Then he turned around and showed some of those other players where they were ranked on Mitch's list!  Just absolutely throwing the rookie under the bus!

As far as his coaching goes, I think he underperformed in Detroit.  With all that talent, they won one cup in ten seasons. And a lot of those playoff losses were to teams who had less talent than the Wings!

I'm glad this was handled…

I'm glad this was handled quickly, but it's still pretty embarrassing that this even happened in the first place.

I gotta wonder, would this even have been a story if it wasn't for Ace on twitter making it one?   

I know this site didn't seem to want to touch the story, probably because it seems at least one of the writers has had some previous interactions with Shemmy.

Ace has his faults no doubt, but some on here seem to take a lot of joy in taking shots at him which I don't really understand. He's easy enough to ignore if you don't care for him. 

 

I got a look at some of…

I got a look at some of those "likes" before they were scrubbed, and yikes man, there was some pretty awful shit on there.

Yes, a lot of them could be classified as "political", but there were also a bunch of them that were straight-up racist tropes.

I'm not sure how what kind of mental gymnastics one has to do, to work in a field with and around so many black folks and then get on your phone and go around "liking" racist tweets and memes.  I guess he thought since he wasn't the one posting them, he could do it on the down-low.

Thanks for posting this.

Thanks for posting this.

It's a great story and definitely a reminder for us all to not take things for granted.

Let's not forget that his wife (former two-time volleyball All-American Abby Cole) was also a Wolverine!

I see a guy with off-the-charts talent, but not much GRIT.

But that's a relatively uninformed viewpoint.

I trust Brad & Dan to do their homework on him and make the right decision.

Congrats Mason. That was a great and exciting way to win the B1G championship.

He finally got out of Gable Steveson's rather formidable shadow!

What a good Canadian kid that Zach Edey is!

Though he had recruited some solid talent, it certainly felt like they've underperformed the last couple of years. 

He was a brilliant writer…

He was a brilliant writer who always managed to say something thought-provoking even if one didn't fully agree with his stance on whatever specific topic he was writing about.

And he certainly wasn't afraid to take aim at both sides of the political spectrum, which very much differentiated himself from the majority of modern day political pundits.

He will certainly be missed.

What I don't understand is…

What I don't understand is why ESPN doesn't offer an expanded ESPN+ for say $20 that includes all their channels.  Just go ahead and cut out the middlemen.

Yeah that Virginia commit on…

Yeah that Virginia commit on Gentry's part seemed strange at the time.  I wonder if Virginia's coach at the time Bronco Mendenhall having come from BYU perhaps had some influence on that decision. But he had left BYU in 2016...

Cool. 

Well, at least we…

Cool. 

Well, at least we showed up and didn't just roll over against the buckeyes.  

Regardless of how this game…

Regardless of how this game ultimately turns out, anyone who thinks that going forward we are better off blowing the whole thing up with a new coaching staff instead of staying the course, are crazy. 

No, we're not where we want to be.  But we're not that far off either.

A big, low ranked, corn-fed…

A big, low ranked, corn-fed lookin' kid with a name that just happens to remind some of us around here of both a Glasgow bro and "Bench"?

Hell yeah, that's worth a flyer!

There's a good chance this guy turns out to be an overachiever.  ;)

I started out watching…

I started out watching during the Alcaraz match, thinking I would be switching it over to football a bit later.  But I got so drawn in to watching this exciting new star that I ended up watching that full match and then the Leyla Fernandez show as well.

The skill and mental toughness that both these 18 yr olds showed is hard to believe.  I can't wait to see more of them.

Fernandez in particular is amazing.  In a sport where strength and power has become paramount at the elite level, here comes this tiny 5' 6, 100 lb crafty shot-maker who doesn't realize she's not supposed to be able to beat the girls in the top ten!

That Pete Kwitkowski video is REALLY good.

I'll miss him, he provided a lot of great content on here over the years. 

Best of luck Ace!

This is interesting.

This is interesting. 

It reminds me of the time when I considered dating Kate Upton!

Wasn't there at least one…

Wasn't there at least one current long-time employee in the AD, who was made aware a long time ago and is still employed there?

 

Great job Ace.

Best of luck to the kid. 

Best of luck to the kid. 

He was already pretty well known of going all the way back to when he was an eighth-grader in Baton Rouge.  I'm pretty sure that's when he was first offered and committed to LSU.  What a crazy journey to play at Bama and end up undrafted.

I actually watched a handful…

I actually watched a handful of Northeastern games this year. (a friends son was a freshman on the team)  While Walker's self-confidence isn't lacking, he was indeed very impressive playing against that level of competition. 

I kept wondering how it was that a player that good wasn't playing in a power 5 conference.  Well, I guess I'm about to find out.   And he's about to learn that it's much harder to stuff the stats sheet playing against top 25 teams and their size and athleticism! 

I thought it was great.  I…

I thought it was great.  I already knew some of Red's backstory, but wasn't fully aware of his drive and perseverance!   

As good of a coach as he was, there's no doubt that his greatest impact has been in helping many young Wolverines set themselves up for a successful life down whatever path they chose.

That was awesome.  So much…

That was awesome.  So much talent on this team.   But yet they seem to all "buy in", and play amazing team defense.   

The sky's the limit for these boys and I'm here for it!

Great idea!  

But first,…

Great idea!  

But first, quick, someone set up a satellite NewSpring church in  Ann Arbor!

Maybe he's just "waving the…

Maybe he's just "waving the white flag" because he doesn't want to be there in person when his favorite team loses!

FYI:  Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

It's mindboggling that…

It's mindboggling that people can't see what is going on here (coach speak) and will just use any reason to pile on!

It's an excellent doc. …

It's an excellent doc.  Though I was already aware of most of the facts they talk about, it was good to have been reminded of them.   I have not deleted my accounts because I have a huge extended family who are spread out all over the world and I live far away from all of them, so social media is a way for me to stay in contact with them more easily.

Another thing to remember is that as self-serving as these social media companies are, it's a bit of a cop-out to put all the blame on them.

We ourselves have control as to how we decide to use them.  No one is forcing you to follow those hyper-partisan pages and no one is making you re-post things that are easily proven to not be true.

Someone go get that Maize n' Blue Canadian flag back out of the closet!

Can you imagine if we had another 5-7 years of him on the back end along with Nicklas Lidstrom? 

I gotta believe the Wings would have won a few more Stanley Cups!

I'm another Vue widower who moved on to YoutubeTV!  I'm pissed.  What a fucking joke.  If I wanted a bloated cable-style service, I would've stayed with cable!

I guess I'll have to look around for cheaper, slimmer alternatives that carry sports channels.

I'm a skilled tradesman at…

I'm a skilled tradesman at an aluminum die casting facility.  They have told some engineers to stay home, but us hourly chumps are still expected to come in. 

When we ask questions about what the plan is, all we get is deflections and pure bullshit.  There's 6-700 people who work there, so if someone was to get infected, it could spread pretty quick.  But the nature of the auto industries "just in time" delivery and scheduling means it will probably take an outbreak at the plant for them to be forced to take any further measures.

The idea that Manfred and…

The idea that Manfred and the Astros are pushing, that the cheating was only in 2017 just isn't believable.  But it's not only Manfred.  The Astros players like Correa that are getting all pissy about other players complaining are f'n tone-deaf.    I don't doubt for one second that the cheating continued past 2017.

They won a world series doing it, why would they suddenly stop?  But yeah, it's pretty obvious why the league would want to keep the scandal's scope as limited as possible.
