I am embarrassed to say it but after driving home from a super bowl party last night I could not get anywhere near my house because the sub was a mess so I spent the night in a hotel a mile away

Terry just said on air, after he announced the passing of Dave Bergman, that Dave was a pitcher for the 84 tigers I heard that sequence and instead of honoring Bergman, Valenti made a mockery of the whole thing. I dont think Foster even knew Bergman was on the 84 team until somebody corrected him

If the super bowl party I am invited to is canceled due to weather I might have to murder somebody

A friend of mine who is a giant MSU fan always gets mad when teams like Ohio St and Michigan "steal" recruits from schools they have already committed to. I keep saying I think everybody does it in todays world and i am guessing the Dowell brothers proves it Coach D is in the home of Messiah Deweaver today. I'm sure they'll be doing some Michigan hatin'. Except he has already decommited

Area coaches: Greg Mattison's always been a class recruiterNN ARBOR -- NCAA rule prohibits Greg Mattison -- and any college football coach -- from speaking publicly about an unsigned prospect. So when Nebraska commit DaiShon Neal and his father spoke on an Omaha radio station Tuesday about how they took offense to Mattison's recruiting pitch relating to academics, Michigan's defensive line coach was unable to publicly defend himself. However, there isn't a shortage of others who are willing to do that for him. "Greg Mattison has always came with the approach of 'we need your child, we need him at our school and we would like to do whatever it takes to get the young man to mature to be a man and grow as a person in our football program,' " Cass Tech coach Thomas Wilcher said Wednesday. "Michigan is a school that isn't just about football, it's about culture, social experiences and the education that makes you become a contributor to society. And coach Mattison cares about all of that. "Coach Mattison is caring, he's like a loving father to players who can put his arm around guys and help push them in the right direction. He wants to know you as a person and help you as a person. That's him." Reached by phone Wednesday, Neal's high school coach Jay Ball (Omaha Central) said he spoke with Mattison on Tuesday, and has a great deal of respect for Michigan's defensive line coach. He says, from his understanding, there are two sides to this story, and it's entirely possible something was misinterpreted along the way. Though he did not want to get into any further detail on the matter publicly. "First of all, DaiShon Neal is a great kid and coach Mattison is a guy that I have a lot of respect for, he's been in the coaching business for 40 years and deserves every amount of respect that he gets," Ball said. "It sounds to me like there's two sides to the story, and maybe things were misinterpreted. "And that's about all I'm really going to say." Wilcher, of course, had a number of players head to Michigan to play for Mattison while he coached under now former Michigan coach Brady Hoke. At the moment, Michigan has six players from Cass Tech on its roster. And even while not every Cass Tech player goes to Michigan, Wilcher says Mattison typically leaves a strong impression on his own prospects -- usually talking with them about the importance of an education, and how "special" of an education at Michigan can be. "With coach Mattison, it's about knowing you as a person and helping uplift you so he can coach you based upon the needs you need as a person so you can grow as a man," Wilcher adds. "He's come to my school several times, talked with young men about growth. About personal growth. How he'd like to see them become a better person and a student, and he always brings a warm feeling, a bright smile and the nicest laugh. "He just brings a great personality, and that personality probably got him into the household of that recruit in the first place." Oak Park High School coach/athletic director Greg Carter has also had a long-standing relationship with Mattison, as he's had former players like Cam Gordon and Devin Gardner play at Michigan. Carter said he, too, was surprised to hear the comments made by Neal and his father, stating that every experience he's ever had with Mattison during a recruiting trip is a positive one. So much so that whenever Mattison visits his school, he often asks him to speak with younger football players who aren't currently being recruited, to discuss the role of academics relating to college football. "He's always very helpful with kids, with football and school, I've never, ever had any issue with coach Mattison," Carter said. "He's a straightforward guy. He tells the kids what they need and what's required to go to Michigan, and it gives them motivation to have them work hard to get there. "Everybody speaks highly of him." Mattison's track record as a defensive coach has been the thing that garners him the most notoriety. But at the same time, he's been a highly-respected recruiter as well, and not just at Michigan. Mattison's also been a college coach at Northwestern, Western Michigan, Navy, Texas A&M, Notre Dame and Florida. In 2013, he was recognized as one of the top recruiters in the country. In most recruiting circles, Mattison's about as well-respected as it gets. "He cares a great deal about players growing up and becoming fine young men," Carter added. "He's a great person."

5 minutes of Valenti today included him saying what losers twitter users are. To Terrys credit he said "you used to be one" My question is are twitter users bigger losers than people who call in to talk radio?

I lost interest at the mid season break- was it worth it? I dont think so. They kept starting story lines all season and then just ended every story by killing somebody. I was pretty disappointed in the finale. Seemed like the writers would start something and then have no idea how to close it

Has Morgan Burnett on Green Bay explained yet why he decided to slide instead of running down field after an interception with 5 minutes left in the game? You slide with a minute left not 5 ESPN this morning claimed that Julius Peppers and others were signaling for him to go down/slide. It was Chris Webber and Michael Talley all over again

Makes sense to punish an additional 120 players per year that had nothing to do with it. Why do they have to restore his wins to give him back that recognition? As was suggested, give them back to the university if they must, but not him. I could live with that. let the kids have the wins

I agree with Philly. I have no issue with this. JoPa wasn't the one fûcking children and players on all of his teams don't deserve to be wiped from the record books either He knew it was happening and anybody that thinks he didnt is naive or stupid. I bet the statue comes back now too

Schefter just reported that Manning played with a torn quad since week 15. I just heard his stats since that injury and they really plummeted. Its a shame because he was having another great year

He had seven 20-20 games for Dallas. Could have been an all time great Roy Tarpley, drug-plagued former Mavericks center, diesDALLAS (AP) — Roy Tarpley, the former Dallas Mavericks star center whose NBA career was cut short by drug abuse, died Friday. He was 50. According to a Tarrant County medical examiner's report, Tarpley died at Texas Health Arlington Memorial Hospital in Arlington, near Dallas. No cause of death was given in the online report. "If Roy had stayed healthy, he could have been one of the top 50 players ever," Brad Davis, the Mavericks' radio analyst and player-development coach who played with Tarpley, told The Dallas Morning News. "He could do it all — shoot, score, rebound, pass and defend. We're all sorry to hear of his passing." The 7-foot Tarpley was the seventh overall pick in the 1986 NBA draft out of Michigan. He played for the Mavericks until October 1991, when he was kicked out of the NBA for using cocaine. Norm Sonju was the Mavericks' chief executive when he drafted Tarpley. He remembers Tarpley as "likable. He was witty. He was funny." "It's sad. What breaks your heart is he was just 50 years old," Sonju told The Associated Press. "He potentially could have been just an incredible player." Sonju remembered that cocaine was a pervasive threat in all big-time athletics in the 1980s, so the Mavericks did all they could in researching Tarpley's background at Michigan. "We had people tell us to our face that he had no problems when he was at Michigan," he said. Temptation by cocaine and alcohol, however, was already near, he said. After the first ban, Tarpley played in Greece until the NBA reinstated him in 1994. He signed a six-year, $20 million contract with the Mavericks but was permanently banned from the NBA in December 1995 for using alcohol and violating the terms of a court-imposed personal aftercare program. Tarpley averaged 12.6 points and 10.0 rebounds in 280 regular-season games. "Our condolences go out to the family of Roy Tarpley," Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted. "RIP Roy. Mavs fans everywhere will remember you fondly." In 1987-88, he averaged 17.1 points and 15.0 rebounds in a career-high 81 games and was the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year. He helped Dallas reach the Western Conference finals that season, averaging 17.9 points and 12.9 rebounds in 17 playoff games. Dallas lost to the eventual-champion Los Angeles Lakers in seven games. "The Dallas Mavericks' organization is deeply saddened upon hearing the death of former Sixth Man of the Year Roy Tarpley. Our deepest condolences go out to his family," the team said in a statement. In four seasons at Michigan, Tarpley averaged 13.1 points and 7.8 rebounds. As a junior in 1984-85, he averaged 19.0 points and 10.4 rebounds. He starred at Cooley High School in Detroit. After his NBA career ended, he returned to Greece and also played in Cyprus, Russia and China. He also spent time with Wichita Falls, Sioux Falls and Michigan in the Continental Basketball Association and Miami and Dodge City in the U.S. Basketball League, last playing in 2006 with Michigan. In September 2007, Tarpley sued the NBA and the Mavericks, alleging they discriminated against him on the basis of his disability as a recovering drug and alcohol abuser. Tarpley argued his ban should have been lifted because he had successfully completed the one year of drug and alcohol testing the league requested. The lawsuit was settled in January 2009, but terms were not disclosed.

Darren Carrington suspended for national championship game. Tests positive for weed after a "random" NCAA administered drug test. 1. He's a fucking idiot. 2. The fix is in. Discuss. Season is over in mid January. Is it that hard to not smoke pot until then? Athletes stupidity never ceases to amaze me

Pick six and face mask penalty killed Baylor. Baylor also went in to puss mode after the facemask penaly. Two short runs and one short pass. Never settle for a field goal in college football
