and when pettiti's contract is up, i can almost guarantee you that michigan will support him. theyve become a feckless institution that stands for nothing. blahblahblah PE deal blahblahblah. they'll cave on that too.

what all that really shows - if you take partridge at his word....and you shouldnt, its a lawsuit for money - is that manuel is a poor leader and pettiti is a bad actor. not that he's a poor thespian, but that he pressed michigan to drop its case in exchange for support rather than supporting his conference's flagship football program. his actions are really egregious. and warde just comes out of this looking like a bitch. if you wanted to compromise and push the controversy into the background, dont file a lawsuit. if you file a lawsuit , you have to have the conviction to stand behind your position and support your program and your employees. warde did neither. he authorized the suit and then caved when pettiti threatened him. instead of calling his bluff, he turtled. given what happened with sherrone, it still amazes me that warde still has a job. actually, given michigan's incompetence as an institution, it doesnt amaze me at all. it makes perfect sense. they'll wait for jenner & block to tell them he has to be fired rather than exert some leadership and vision and do it on their own. its easier this way. just like hiring sherrone was easier than doing an actual search. its become the michigan way.

my question is whether you woukd rather have jamo or use that money for a starting defensive end or left tackle?

teslaa is a starter? tyliek is a starter because they have no one else at the position, not because he was good. he MIGHT be good, its too early to tell. but he wasnt really good last year. ratledge looks solid, but not spectacular, but that's ok, he was a rookie.

i love george, but he needs to retire.

this is a really bad basketball game.

nope. he'll take the money. they all take the money.

the insurance company will settle it.

it took an injury to lavert for jb's dunb ass to realize heurter was a batter option all along.

This really has been the most depressing season in a long time. once again they were right there. once again injuries caught them at the wrong time. only this team they dealt their first round pick. you know what that means....welcome to st louis gavin mckenna!

losing LJ Cason might hurt michigan a lot more than they think.

yes. he had three amazing drafts. all time great drafts. his drafts have nott been good the last two years and the lions are paying for it now. you needed cheap help because those superstar drafts produced superstar players who need to get paid. they didnt get any. two years ago was their year and injuries killed them. ragnow and decker retiring/getting cut has blown up their identity. they were never going to have the money to make a big splash because of money constraints, but this has been underwhelming. with that said, its still early. there's time to sign someone. brad has usually eschewed free agency. that's almost always good practice because teams dont let good players walk, they let old declining players walk. but when you have as many holes as this lions team, you need to make a fair amount of decent additions. they havent really done that yet this year. still time.

what if you paid money to see this game and philly sat almost their entire starting 5? how many times have the pistons bren a beneficiary of teams not trying to win games? i loved spoelstra's comment on bam's 83. not apologizing for anything and the other team was trying to lose. **** em.

they have to, or else its really over.

unfortunately, none of them are likely to replace rasmussen or compher.
