Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I would add something to [Body]

Output: I would add something to this: Starting in sixth grade I was on a double-advanced track in math with a whole class of about 30 students. In eighth grade, which I think was Algebra 2, most of the class slammed into the wall. Hard. A small handful of us stayed on the double-advanced track and the rest dropped back to single-advanced. I don't think it's inconceivable that a particular class just struggles with a particular subject all of a sudden. That said - geometry is rarely anyone's tripping point. Most math walls seem to be in the really abstract stuff. Geometry is probably the least abstract math class anyone will take in middle or high school.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I dunno about that. I [Body]

Output: I dunno about that. I definitely don't mean to come out and say a kid should be ashamed of himself for dropping down to the "regular" class. But a lot of smart kids won't want to consider that as an option. The original question was "what motivated you in high school?" and for me the answer (besides the various carrots and sticks laid down by my parents) was hanging out with smart people and not wanting to fall behind. If your friends are all in honors and AP or IB classes, then you'll probably want to be as well. It sounds like the frustration here comes partly from not wanting to admit defeat, as it were, by dropping down a level. Plus, in a regular class there might be the opposite problem. Instead of the teacher focusing on the top of the class, they're likely to focus on the bottom. If the real issue is that you just do. not. get. it. - that's helpful. If the real issue is quality of instruction, it's not going to do the least bit of good.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Opinion: The fact that he's [Body]

Output: Opinion: The fact that he's demoralized by getting lousy grades is a good sign. Much easier fix than not caring at all. Getting used to having to exert more effort to succeed in school, that takes quite a bit of time. It did for me. Does the school maintain a list of student math tutors? Learning geometry from an upperclassman who did well on the subject could be very helpful, even if it's just because it's coming from a different voice. Also, do a little homework on the math teachers at the school. Sometimes a particular teacher-student combo just straight-up doesn't work.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] When you list a bunch of [Body]

Output: When you list a bunch of songs that I think are just actual good songs and not guilty ashamed-of-myself pleasures, it makes me wonder whether I'm the screwed-up one, or you are.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Sounds like someone got run [Body]

Output: Sounds like someone got run over by the waaaahmbulance. You've been here five weeks and have bitched about the same thing I don't even know how many times. This is how the blog has been for years. Get over it.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Livin' La Vida Loca is [Body]

Output: Livin' La Vida Loca is actually pretty fun.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] That's not quite what it [Body]

Output: That's not quite what it looks like. First off it's several years old. Second, from what I've read, it's more of a weird motivational tactic where the Attention NFL Scouts sign would stay there and the coaches would post a list of players who missed a class or were late for a workout or something during the week. The list is much newer looking and hastily typed up. I don't think it actually means "La'El Collins is such a selfish waste of oxygen that Les Miles actually thinks you shouldn't draft him."


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Why on earth was the Ramirez [Body]

Output: Why on earth was the Ramirez trade stupid? That was a GREAT move. Get an extra fifth rounder, move back just five spots, and get the best OG in the draft as well as a guy who has tons of starting experience and can play anywhere inside the tackles. Why on earth was that a dumb move???


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 4 days ago [Title] Yeah, I don't get the hate. [Body]

Output: Yeah, I don't get the hate. Considering Rob Sims is an overpaid putz, moving back in the first round and getting the best OG in the draft is a great move. And Manny Ramirez is a great insurance policy for anywhere on the interior O-line. People demanded a DT but OG was just as big a need. And anyone who complains wasting a second-round pick on Titus Young and his character issues has no right to bitch about the first two picks here. By all accounts Tomlinson and Abdullah are as high on the character scale as it gets. I don't think RB is a position of much need but it's not like we're stacked, either. This is a solid draft. It's not flashy, but I like it so far.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] 1. Malcom Brown 2. Laken [Body]

Output: 1. Malcom Brown 2. Laken Tomlinson/Jake Fisher/AliMarpet 3. Senquez Golson That's a great plan except that all the guys you listed were gone by the time the Lions picked, except for Malcom Brown. Tomlinson would never have fallen to the Lions' 2nd round pick.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] OK, Lions. 11 picks left [Body]

Output: OK, Lions. 11 picks left before yours. If La'El Collins is still there at your pick, he better not be there after. P.S. Would also be happy with Grady Jarrett.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'd be annoyed about a [Body]

Output: I'd be annoyed about a running back, but pretty much all the guys I wanted out of that pick went off the board already.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Eh, I like Corey Fuller as a [Body]

Output: Eh, I like Corey Fuller as a 3rd WR, and with the three pass-catching TEs they have, that still counts as the weapons they need. Bell and Riddick make two RBs...unless you were going to take Gurley or Gordon, I can't say I'd be big on taking a guy who wouldn't bring much extra to the table. CB, DT, DE are more pressing needs, and I wouldn't argue against another OL - an insurance-policy OT would be a very solid investment unless you really, really like Cornelius Lucas.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Nice to meet you, Mr. Millen. [Body]

Output: Nice to meet you, Mr. Millen.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] If the Lions take any kind of [Body]

Output: If the Lions take any kind of player who handles the ball before the fifth round I will be most upset.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] FIFA sucks because there is [Body]

Output: FIFA sucks because there is no oversight. As long as there's no oversight and billions of dollars moving around, it is going to suck. The major pro leagues in the US don't suck because there are laws governing their conduct and because at their core they're essentially a club of 30 or so rich guys whose gravy train relies on mostly upstanding conduct. And even then they look for ways to boost the output of that gravy train even if it makes their product worse. Of course FIFA can improve. And I can get elected president of the US, technically speaking, once I reach the required age. Now, ask yourself, who is going to make FIFA improve? Who holds their gravy train by the balls to make it happen? Of course the NCAA is better than FIFA - it too is governed by the laws of the US. FIFA is governed by no laws but its own.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Nobody watches golf for the [Body]

Output: Nobody watches golf for the best athletes in the world. They walk around the course and swing a stick. It's like saying I watch Jeopardy for the smartest people in the world when really it's just people who have a particular brain skill. So I'm not sure how the "few thousand people" thing applies (and I'm sure there are more than a couple thousand people growing up playing golf.)


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] The problem with "imagine how [Body]

Output: The problem with "imagine how it would be without FIFA" is that something has to organize the thing, and given the nature of the event and the money involved, whatever organizes it is just going to be that way, or at best, drift in that direction. Better would be, "Imagine how it would be if human nature were such that ambitious powerful people weren't also corrupt pieces of shit," which would make a lot of other things better besides just the World Cup. It's like when people say "I wish the NCAA would just go away." College sports is going to be organized by something, and that something is going to be put together by the same people who run the NCAA.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Gotta be the FIFA World Cup. [Body]

Output: Gotta be the FIFA World Cup. It's not really a six-week tournament every four years. It's really a three-year-long tournament where the whole world gets to play (unless they fall before the arbitrary mercies of FIFA's disciplinary committees.) Honorable mention goes to March Madness, the Stanley Cup playoffs, the Winter Olympics, the swimming at the Summer Olympics, and the IIHF championships, which have a delightful promotion-relegation system.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] Yeah, the protest in question [Body]

Output: Yeah, the protest in question took place in St. Louis or thereabouts, so the Cardinals gear is almost unquestionably the original.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That was one of the single [Body]

Output: That was one of the single best things ESPN ever did. Actually being responsive to fans. It was stunning that they actually did that, but I think they would've been in real danger of losing ratings. I cannot say enough how much I hated the practice of spoiling the pick before it was announced. I don't care what other networks do on Twitter because not looking at Twitter is the easiest thing in the world.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] When some asshole parks their [Body]

Output: When some asshole parks their shit in the passing lane and goes the exact same speed as the guy next to them, thus piling up traffic behind them. Fuck people who do this. And chewing noises. I cannot stand loud chewing.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 20 hours ago [Title] If you like having no water [Body]

Output: If you like having no water and living on ground that shakes, sure.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] Yes, but the fact that [Body]

Output: Yes, but the fact that Stannis Baratheon is one of the people gathered around the table is fantastic.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] True. In fact there's no way [Body]

Output: True. In fact there's no way to get rid of it at all.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] At least three of those [Body]

Output: At least three of those commercials belong on the shit list. - The hitch up horses one: if Viagra Guy is at an age where he knows how to get shit done, surely he's old enough to have the common sense to drive around the damn mud hole. - The one where Viagra Guy is driving through the desert and his car overheats, and pouring a bottle of water in the radiator is all it takes to fix it? Bullshit. Most of that water will evaporate before he even turns the ignition key again. A commercial about a smart car guy written by someone who knows fuck-all about cars. - When Viagra Guy is on a sailboat, the frickin sail is on the wrong frickin side of the boat, and backwinded. Clearly the guy's solution is not to retie his knot, but to find a powerboat to tow him through the water and hope nobody notices. A commercial about a smart sailboat guy written by someone who knows even less than fuck-all about sailboats.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] The woman at the beach house [Body]

Output: The woman at the beach house is dreamy if you are old. Pretty sure that woman is Cersei Lannister. Which gives the commercial a certain je ne sais quoi for GoT fans.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] How do you hate those [Body]

Output: How do you hate those commercials so much and not even mention Petunia Dursley and her nebbish wanker of a husband, getting caught spying on the neighbors and using binoculars to look at something ten yards away? I do love the little wave the Garcias give, though. "Hey, yeah, we see you staring at us. I'll just give you this neighborly wave to let you know we can totally see you." Plus that valet appears to be the only one at that party. Didn't he park the damn thing???


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Of course you can use a noun [Body]

Output: Of course you can use a noun to describe another noun. SInce when is that a rule? You never said anything like "car door?" "Bedroom window"? "Your phone"? "Cat hair"? And wouldn't you sound silly saying things like "open the bedroom" or "vacuum the cat" when you really mean the window or the hair?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I really, really hate the [Body]

Output: I really, really hate the Infiniti commercial that's supposed to show how the automatic brake thingy can save your children. One vignette shows a guy backing out of a space in a completely empty parking lot and yet he can't see the one car coming down the aisle. His Infiniti saves the day! (Best part: There's no car in front of him! He could just go forward!) The other has a lady who can't see a big fucking yellow school bus rolling down the road and almost backs into it while her daughters look at her like "mom, you almost got us messily killed!" Then Idiot Mom smiles contentedly in silent thanks to the godsend engineers at Infiniti who gave her the peace of mind she needs to continue driving like an ignorant twitmuffin. So many commercials basically boil down to "Our customers are idiots! If you're an idiot, you can be one of our customers too!" but this one really takes the cake for putting people behind the wheel who are barely competent to function in society.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Yeah, but when there's a [Body]

Output: Yeah, but when there's a public outcry against the tax-exempt status, and the NFL says, "Ok, we'll drop it," the public doesn't then get to say "oh that's just a crass PR move."


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I don't get what your [Body]

Output: I don't get what your argument is here. I do. His argument is that, because Love touched Olynyk while attempting to free himself from the five-second-long foul Olynyk was committing, everything that happened after is Love's fault.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] New question - what type(s) [Body]

Output: New question - what type(s) of cars do people drive where you automatically pre-judge them in a negative light? The Nissan Cube. I mean you have got to be the world's biggest dumbo-tron to actually want to be seen in a thing like that. It's not a car, it's manifest stupidity on wheels. Driving one says, "Look at meeeeeeeeeeee I'm so artsy and quirky I just have to be looked at!"


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Like hell it is. It's [Body]

Output: Like hell it is. It's originally "soda pop" which makes "pop" the correct short form. Do you call a hot dog a "hot"?


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Since you didn't limit it to [Body]

Output: Since you didn't limit it to racing with wheels, the answer would be sailboat racing, being as I can actually participate in it, and spend most of the summer doing just that.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Wings game 7, no doubt about [Body]

Output: Wings game 7, no doubt about it. Baseball is tops for me but the hockey game is bigger. Never had much interest in actually going to either the NFL draft or Kentucky Derby. The draft is much better as background TV than a thing you actually go to.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Dr Pepper all damn day every [Body]

Output: Dr Pepper all damn day every day. Or I would if that wouldn't make me disgustingly fat. Vernors makes all other ginger ale taste like a watery mess. Root beer is great, A&W being the best. Faygo Red Pop and Rock'n'Rye are amazeballs. Cherry Pepsi is delicious too. But Dr Pepper is the king of kings.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Carolina Panthers. And [Body]

Output: Carolina Panthers. And Hurricanes.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] The new owner changed it to [Body]

Output: The new owner changed it to Arizona because the lack of attendance plus he wanted the whole state to be mentioned not just Phoenix. It also just so happens the city of Glendale stuck a clause in the arena lease requiring the team to be called the Arizona Coyotes as a condition of basically having financially propped the team up and finding ownership that would keep the team in the area. The rest of the explanation is just the ownership trying to pander to the local fanbase. http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/21190314/phoenix-coyotes-coul...


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 2 days ago [Title] I'm bowled over by the [Body]

Output: I'm bowled over by the turnabout in this series between the Wings of years past and the Wings of now. They're winning with the exact style that used to frustrate them to no end. I still have bad memories dating back over 10 years of series where teams ground the Wings' superior offense into submission with clogged-up lanes and obnoxiously good goaltending. I like seeing the shoe on the other foot. P.S. I'll take Cooper more seriously if he has a little chat with his guy Paquette.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 4 days ago [Title] If we did it the "correct" [Body]

Output: If we did it the "correct" way, this would be the second season, not the fourth. Marquette was 6-10 in their second season. There's nothing to blame. You're just being impatient. This was one of the few things DB did right. This isn't DB being DB, because there wasn't a dime to be made doing this. He didn't just throw them into the fire with no input from the program itself. John Paul worked his ass off to build this program and deserved the chance to coach it rather than being tossed aside the moment his work paid off. And I bet the club guys from the first couple seasons wouldn't trade it for anything. Instead of being impatient and starting to throw things because the team isn't good in its fourth season, a better approach would be to consider this the "real" second season. I'm glad they went about doing it this way. I'd rather they do the right thing by the people who did the work to put this program together. In short, I'm glad they were actually playing instead of waiting two years after the announcement to put the team on the field.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 5 days ago [Title] So either DC or one of the [Body]

Output: So either DC or one of the weird states that enjoys fancy words like "commonwealth."


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] And yet there's one common [Body]

Output: And yet there's one common thread to all the incidents the Royals have been involved in.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That would be odd, if that's [Body]

Output: That would be odd, if that's what he said, but clearly that was "Chuck who?"


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] This guy Paquette is both the [Body]

Output: This guy Paquette is both the dirtiest and the dumbest SOB in the league.


Input: [Date] 13 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That's a real bummer for him, [Body]

Output: That's a real bummer for him, especially at his age. But not really for the Tigers.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] I'll take Notre Dame back, [Body]

Output: I'll take Notre Dame back, thanks. They may have chickened out of the rivalry but Dave Brandon all but dared them to. Rivalries aren't something you create. IMO the rivalry should have a 2-years-on, 1-year-off cadence.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] And you want a Ferrari? I [Body]

Output: And you want a Ferrari? I mean.... "Let's use pictures of neglected rusty old 30-year-old cars to prove that modern ones suck" is a silly strategy.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 1 day ago [Title] All the downvotes to you. [Body]

Output: All the downvotes to you. Wagons don't even need to be performance to be awesome. They just need the backward-facing seats.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] He was just checking to see [Body]

Output: He was just checking to see if she'd be an effective recruiting aid.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] My personal favorite (as [Body]

Output: My personal favorite (as might be guessed from the above) was: I would go on a needless clutter rampage and eliminate excessive verbiage, overanalysis, space consuming and irrelevant graphics, mindless replays, and other elements that get between a viewer and the event. So right. The worst replay trend these days is the super-slo-mo high fives. That just screams "way too much dead air." Broadcasts could cut way down on media timeouts and between-innings time without losing a cent of revenue if they just cut immediately to commercial without all the lame attempts at winning an Emmy and trying to turn a two-second celebration into an EPIC DISPLAY OF EMOTION.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 2 days ago [Title] Joe Buck's idea is the [Body]

Output: Joe Buck's idea is the stupidest piece of shit idea known to mankind. If baseball broadcasts started having interviews with the hitter in the hole, I'd watch so much less baseball it's not even funny. I want to watch a fucking baseball game, not a bunch of dipshit interviews or some guy warming up in a batting cage. Coaches' interviews at halftime are already a waste of everyone's time. Batters' interviews would be 10,000 variations on "well I'm just gonna look for my pitch and see what happens." I'm sick of the media trying to interject themselves into every single goddamn moment that ever takes place. I don't want "access," I want to watch a fucking ballgame and I want the announcers to shut the goddamn hell up for five fucking seconds every now and again. Ernie Harwell knew to shut his piehole every so often and that's part of what made him so unbelievably great and he was on the damn radio. And on the instances I do want to hear what's going on, I want the unscripted version, not some bubbly blonde jagoff asking shitty questions like "tell me how this makes you feel." It's assholes like Joe Buck who think I'm here to watch them that make TV broadcasts insufferable.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] It did indeed. GM had some [Body]

Output: It did indeed. GM had some really forgettable clunkers during that time. Namely everything with "Geo" on it. And I once had a driving school Chevy Corsica plop its full load of antifreeze onto the parking lot surface after nothing more strenuous than driving range practice. But when they had a good design, they rode it long and hard and the result was some terrific cars. The design for the 3800 engine went back to the '60s and that Olds wagon was virtually unchanged from 1982, both inside and out. Could you imagine if today they still sold, for example, the 2002 Chevy Malibu? If they'd never put a diesel in the early versions they might've sold millions of those Cutlasses.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Because all possible [Body]

Output: Because all possible scenarios, where the NBA keeps its 19-year age limit and the NCAA institutes freshman ineligibility, are bad for the NBA. Players might bolt for the league after never playing a game in college. Tough to scout them that way. Or they might skip college and go to Europe, where Brandon Jennings was paid $1 million to, as Jennings himself put it, play D and take open shots. And sometimes not get off the bench at all. Tough to scout them that way, too, and more expensive to boot. Or they might stay in college two years, which is the best case for the NBA but makes them wait another year to draft a player they would've had a year ago.....but if they have to wait two years, surely they'd prefer the players be playing during both of them. The NBA put a lot of political capital into that rule during CBA negotiations, because having high school players enter the draft and then bomb and/or take years to develop was hurting the league. It's tough for them to babysit a guy fresh out of high school. Just that one transition year in college is big for one's maturity. It might seem like they have other fish to fry, but that rule is important to them. The NCAA would prefer to either lose the rule or make it two years so they don't look like a stopover.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] For some reason he went back [Body]

Output: For some reason he went back to the dugout to find out if it was worth reviewing. Dumb decision. Waiting for your coaches to bust out the DVR is a 3rd-inning move, not a 9th-inning move.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] Those cars were great for new [Body]

Output: Those cars were great for new drivers to have, but they were not great for new drivers to learn on and then drive something else. The street cars in my driving school were all Cutlass Cieras, something like '92 or '93. They had gas pedals that you really had to mash down to make the car move. So of course, the first time driving something different, mash down the gas pedal was exactly what I did. Mom's minivan never moved so damn quick.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] This is not actually my old [Body]

Output: This is not actually my old car, but it's the spitting image right down to the color and the wheels. Bigger inside than it looks on the outside. Hauled all my worldly possessions to and from college with room to spare. Roof rack, useful for getting my "new" couch from the Salvation Army to my house. And those old GM V6's were incredibly underrated. With cruise control on the whole time and a decent downhill stretch, I could coax 30 mpg out of this thing. More normal conditions, 25 or 26. Six years of ownership between 60 and 110K miles and the only thing that ever went wrong was a seized-up serpentine belt tensioner, a $30 fix. I'm convinced the car would disintegrate before the engine stopped running.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] I'm not convinced this isn't [Body]

Output: I'm not convinced this isn't a ploy - an awkward one, but a ploy nonetheless - to try and get the NBA to move the 19-year-old age limit one way or the other.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 5 days ago [Title] We definitely haven't gone [Body]

Output: We definitely haven't gone through two head coaches and lost a whole bunch of bowl games and missed some others and driven out one head coach with infighting and fake newspaper stories and had another head coach put a concussed player on the field and had to give away free tickets to keep the 100,000 streak going because the AD was a soulless corporate buffoon remaking the program in his own image until he was torch-and-pitchforked out of town. Nope, nothing like that.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] I wish I could ever find the [Body]

Output: I wish I could ever find the one from 2002 where Pav passed the puck to himself off a defender's skate, then through the guy's legs to a teammate crashing the net who finished off the play with a goal. I watched that happen and immediately got up and offered a 2nd-round pick for Datsyuk in the keeper fantasy hockey league I'm in. Pavel's still on my team.


Input: [Date] 14 weeks 6 days ago [Title] That is not the Dave [Body]

Output: That is not the Dave Brandon-approved M. This place is just going to shit without his leadership.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 18 hours ago [Title] Truthfully, the idea isn't [Body]

Output: Truthfully, the idea isn't even good. If the technology for solar roadways becomes cheaper, it's safe to assume regular solar cells are also becoming cheaper. A solar roadway cell will always be more expensive than an ordinary one because of the engineering required to make it durable enough to handle traffic, whether it's semi trucks or just bicycles. So you have both a more expensive road (which requires total replacement instead of just patching any time it needs repair) and a more expensive solar cell. Solar roads are basically the wrong answer to a question nobody asked. Opportunity costs make them a really horrible, wasteful idea.


Input: [Date] 15 weeks 19 hours ago [Title] Why install a solar-roadway [Body]

Output: Why install a solar-roadway parking lot, though? Why not just cover a parking lot with carports that have solar cells on top? It would be cheaper to install, cheaper to maintain, it wouldn't reduce the generaion capacity if cars actually use the lot, and it wouldn't be susceptible to the freeze-thaw cycle. It makes literally no sense to install solar panels in the parking lot roadway itself. A solar road is one of the most utterly pointless ideas ever hatched. The idea has been thoroughly fisked in a couple articles that are floating around out there.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 2 days ago [Title] No one cares.. I live in [Body]

Output: No one cares.. I live in Cleveland and always have stuff on, including a flag at my house and it's not a big deal.


Input: [Date] 9 weeks 3 days ago [Title] A children's film early and [Body]

Output: A children's film early and then an action movie after that seems like a good idea.


Input: [Date] 12 weeks 12 hours ago [Title] I love threads like this one. [Body]

Output: I love threads like this one. I have no real reason to read about the LA housing market, but because it's mgoblog I will read the whole thing and learn something new. Tons of unique people with great insights on this blog.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 22 hours ago [Title] He will be the Derrick [Body]

Output: He will be the Derrick Williams of this year's draft.


Input: [Date] 16 weeks 6 days ago [Title] The only reason this is wrong [Body]

Output: The only reason this is wrong is because he said, "F that Guy" in a press conference, which you can't do. I've heard what he said hundreds of times directed at many different people and it's not a big deal.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Title] Deshawn Sims' tip in at the [Body]

Output: Deshawn Sims' tip in at the horn vs. Sparty would have been great, but not program changing or anything. The App St. FG could have made a remarkable difference in the direction of the program.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 1 day ago [Title] It would not be a wash for [Body]

Output: It would not be a wash for basketball if Michigan makes a change. A Nike contract would mean increased access to top recruits. Nike probably holds 80% of the market for these top clubs while there are a few who play with Adidas.


Input: [Date] 17 weeks 2 days ago [Title] It's like Jim Hackett's brain [Body]

Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] Hopefully the Browns don't [Body]

Output: Hopefully the Browns don't screw this one up and draft him if he is available. This guy has an NFL arm and great athletic ability. I guess the one uncertainty is if he can understand NFL defenses, but that is a question mark for almost all QB prospects. I think if he is successful in the NFL he will look a lot like Russell Wilson.

They all remain competitive. If we are just accepting any student who can play football we should stop calling it college football.

Output: If every school started holding athletes to the same standards as the rest of their students it might become more equal.


Input: [Date] 1 year 29 weeks ago [Title] I think the best way to make [Body]

Output: I think the best way to make college athletics great again and not so much about money (minor league esque) is by putting athletes on the field who are there for the education. The student athletes should be held to the same admission requirements of their non-athlete peers. College football should be kids who want to go to college that also play football, not the other way around.

Input: [Date] 1 year 30 weeks ago [Title] They never really wanted him to begin with. He was [Body]

Output: They never really wanted him to begin with. He was something like the 5th guy on their list. As a Browns fan, I have no problem with them dumping a guy who does not have the skills to be an NFL coach, but I do have a problem with them hiring him in the 1st place.

Output: You read my mind.


Input: [Date] 1 year 32 weeks ago [Title] The old way where a mediocre [Body]

Output: The old way where a mediocre season didn't mean you were rewarded with a prestigious game. The old way where TV money didn't drive many of the decisions. I know it is unrealistic, but it just doesn't feel right, even with the BCS it didn't.

Input: [Date] 1 year 48 weeks ago [Title] Green [Body]

Output: It actually may work to the team's benefit to have Green come on later in the year (Big Ten season). Having an elite back with fresh legs that we know is capable of big things could be a huge weapon. Hopefully at some point in the year he is able to compliment Fitz as the #2 back.

Output: I must say ESPNU did a great job last weekend with their comprehensive coverage of every game in the NCAA regionals. They weren't afraid to bounce around games pitch by pitch and had me genuinely interested. For an avid baseball fan like myself you can certainly draw some comparisons to the Men's basketball tournament in terms of excitement and nonstop action. I would love it if Michigan could put together a team capable of making noise in the tournament.

However, this idea will always be toxic because of the era. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 10 hours ago [Body] They have a long and pretty illustrious history and in the EPL they've been good with a chance to break through but just can't buy whoever the hell they want. Makes them a more interesting follow than the Big Five, plus this way I don't feel like a soul-less band wagoner(as I assume any fan of the big five must feel like). I've been following them since the 2006/2007 season, but it's been more fun than following a team led by a Frenchman who keeps mysteriously being struck blind when one of his players does something egregious. [Title]

Output: They have a long and pretty


Input: [Date] 6 days 12 hours ago [Body] Air Force(Football, Basketball, Hockey) - went there for undergrad Michigan(Football, Basketball, Hockey) - went here for grad school UCLA(Football, Basketball, Baseball) - raised a Bruins fan Dodgers - raised a Dodger fan Tottenham Hotspur - like soccer and wanted an EPL team and Spurs history spoke to me. Plus Red is naughty. Tigers - figure I can root for an AL team and lived in Michigan for six years Lakers - raised a Lakers fan Lions - stopped following the NFL when I was stationed in Japan, when I came back the Lions became the home town team. USMNT - USA USA USA! Red Wings - never really had hometown team and then I moved to Michigan. Probably too long a list but I love sports. Although to be honest I really follow.college, the EPL, and baseball and the rest are more of a notice when there is time kind of a deal. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 days 17 hours ago [Body] The staff has a bunch of LB's in this class with a lot of targets on the board, more bullets is always good, but I don't see that being a problem with this class, agree that parents aren't going to let him go to Michigan, though. [Title]

Output: The staff has a bunch of LB's


Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Body] My take on players being able to graduate in four years is this, counting on a fifth year to get your degree is a big risk and I have a feeling players who know they're at risk of not getting that fifth year probably figure it out within the first couple of years and can start to make an academic plan that gets them to a degree within four years while taking advantage of the summer sessions. I can't imagine there isn't a support system in place in which they are told what their academic options are and given staright talk as to what they need to do and should plan for. I think at some point natural sympathy for the time commitments they are asked to fulfill has to be balanced against the realization that people have to be held responsible for the choices they make, even if conditions aren't ideal. [Title]

Output: My take on players being able


Input: [Date] 6 days 19 hours ago [Body] 1. He's a fifth year senior and likely 22/23, calling him a boy is pretty damn rude. 2. You don't know his whole situation and why he transferred, it is much more likely he knew he wasn't going pro, had his degree and just wanted to spend one more year playing football and getting actual time on the field. Frankly, it's hard to blame him for that. 3. I find it hard to believe any coach is going to bring a level of intensity to practice that a fifth year senior is not going to have experienced or be able to contextualize and it's not like heading to Ohio is going to make practices or workouts any easier, the coach at Ohio has to coach for his job, too. [Title]

Output: 1. He's a fifth year senior


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] I wish Countess had stuck around as well as I think he would have provided experience if nothing else. His instincts in zone coverge are proven to be good as well and there's no way to call his transfer anything but a loss, especially given his current team. As far as the veiled RR comment goes, agree to disagree. [Title]

Output: I wish Countess had stuck


Input: [Date] 6 days 20 hours ago [Body] These are the same questions Alabama fans were asking before Saban, OU fans were asking before Stoops, Texas fans were asking before Brown and are asking again. Programs just have to go through periods in the wilderness like Michigan is going through now, what makes this one especially painful is Groucho Mark's ascendance in East Lansing coupled with tOSU's lucking into Meyer right when it looked like they were about to go through a similar period. Coaching makes a big difference especially when an institution has to catch up to the times. Michigan has now done that and while this year will be growing pains as the team catches up to what's expected of it, I just cannot believe that the ENTIRE offensive roster was a recruiting miss. There are some good players in there, they just have to be found and given the right environment to succeed. We may not be looking at the talent base we thought we'd have by now, but I don't think it's a smoking crater either. [Title]

Output: These are the same questions


Input: [Date] 1 week 13 hours ago [Body] Well here's hoping they can pull this out, but color me skeptical. Klinsman has some hard questions to answer about a meltdown like this. [Title]

Output: Well here's hoping they can


Input: [Date] 1 week 2 days ago [Body] My mistake. I tend to mix up the two schools as I assume high level prospects out of both of them are automatically ticketed for USC. Thanks for the correction though, as I prefer to be accurate in these things. Regardless my point still stands, he's a high level prospect out of a USC feeder school and is going there. I almost feel sorry for coaches of other schools recruiting these guys as to a certain extent they have to put in the effort to try, but it's a foregone conclusion where the guys are going, so they must feel like they're wasting time and resources to simply keep up appearrances. [Title]

Output: My mistake. I tend to mix up

Input: [Date] 2 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Hammill's take is by far my favorite, just a great mix of menace and clownishness. As far as action in a screen though it's hard to not appreciate how far down the rabbit hole Ledger went and really became someone else. I loved Tom Burtons Batman but let's be honest, Jack Nicholson was playing himself in crazy makeup. [Title]

Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I thought the issue this year was that it was a down year for talent in Ohio, the recruiting class after they won the NC, so the battles for the high power5 level players are already over before they began, no harm in recognizing that and adjusting as long as it's not a pattern. [Title]

Output: I thought the issue this year


Input: [Date] 5 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It happens all the time, there was a receiver out of Texas who committed to UCLA last year a week before signing day, but you could tell by his moms face that it wasn't going to last. He signed with Texas eventually. If a parent feels like they still need to guide their kid, then great. It's not like being a parent ends at a certain point.

Output: Not sure about this


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] No need to worry about a neg, the concern is understandable. That said the coaches are still in on a lot of highly rated players and these were always going to be the camp commits we were going to see. I think there's a strategy to this and I lookforward to seeing how this plays out. If they go all sleeper all the time, I'd be a little concerned, but I don;t see it going that way and am happy they're getting in guys they've had a chance to see perform in person who are apparently good camp competitors. Throw in the fact that the roster is set up to give these guys a chance to redshirt and settle in and I can see this class providing a good foundation. TL:Dr it's a long way to February, let's give it time and celebrate the guys who want to come here. [Title]

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Look, I never said I was going anywhere(next time read the whole bit) but if Jon really is dead, I know a lot of book readers who feel that way. The story is compelling but enough beatings and people may not be entertained anymore. If this death really takes, then there really aren't a lot of characters to take on the banner of root for this person. Nihilism is boring and it isn't a lot of fun. You may not have a problem with the continued crushing of hope, but not everyone has the same taste. To be clear, I was not expecting "happily ever after", but bittersweet with some good and some bad would do nicely, the problem is that may not even happen and if I see/decide that is what's happening I will walk away thankful for the first three books, an incredible world and characters and the dunk and egg novellas, but also a little irritated by a somewhat lazy creative choice. [Title]

Output: Look, I never said I was


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 3 days ago [Body] I wouldn't be so confident about that. This was the scene that broke the patience and the wills of a lot of book readers. Most think there is going to be some sort of end game, but if there isn't I know a lot of people who are willing to walk away(and let's face it five years between books and progressively poorer quality isn't helping the case). Jon Snow' s storyline is one of the few heroic ones left and its not fun to see it torn apart. People have been taking a lot if hits recently and eventually the cost/benefit analysis is going to tip.the other way if there isn't enough.left to root for. As for me I don't think he's all-dead, just.mostly dead and waiting for the right Miracle Max. It's because I have trouble believing he'd build up Jon Snow as such an important piece and then immolate him in order to really drive the whole, "life is horrible" point home. Jon's part of the endgame, just interested in seeing how it all gets pulled off. [Title]

Output: I wouldn't be so confident

Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I was wondering who those people in my house were that kept distracting me from the computer with silly demands such as needing to be fed........... [Title]

Output: I was wondering who those


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 4 days ago [Body] I have a feeling homerism is something you should expect watching a US broadcast of a US team. [Title]

Output: I have a feeling homerism is


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] It's always good to get another player on board and his film is awfully fun to watch. Welcome aboard Mr. Richardson! [Title]

Output: It's always good to get


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] True, but if you want to sit with your friends and have to wrangle them away from "lets just do ten more rounds of flip-cup" It's a little irritating. [Title]

Output: True, but if you want to sit


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Well that is an interesting question. Depends on where I get a job, Seattle, San Francisco, and Reno, NV are the main options now. Regardless my wife is originally from Portland and I am originally from Nevada, so we'll be getting closer to home which will be good, but I loved living in Michigan and am really sad to leave. Needless to say finding a good Michigan bar is going to be critical :). [Title]

Output: Well that is an interesting


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Thanks for the perspective, I'm looking forward to it. Now just going to have to find the right bar to open up for those games :). [Title]

Output: Thanks for the perspective,


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I always hated it, because it meant there wasn't as much pregame time and it was harder to get into the stadium in time. [Title]

Output: I always hated it, because it


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm moving to the West this summer, so I may as well get used to the whole "Football at 9 a.m." thing and get exposed to it right away. I do wonder if there will be an effect on the OSU players. You'd think they'd come out earlier to get adjusted to the clock and ensure they're ready for the time change. [Title]

Output: I'm moving to the West this


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] That routine was so very funny and would never even hit the stage now. He was one angry dude. [Title]

Output: That routine was so very


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] Just about to make a comment about the same thing: Those were horrifying, I can't even imagine the lack of shame that would cause you to say things like that publically, even if that's the way you think which is just.......I can't even........... I don't feel like celebrating an ugly divorce, but this is just all kinds of crazy. [Title]

Output: Just about to make a comment


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] As much fun as that would be, I don't quite buy it. It's so hard to pull players out of the south that a windfall like that just doesn't seem likely. That said, I love the interest being shown and think it's a great sign for the future. Looking forward to seeing what the ext few years will bring. [Title]

Output: As much fun as that would be,


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] I'm not entirely sure that good riddance is something to say about a talented player who leaves because he felt he was promised something that turned out to not be true, especially when that player is arguably the top QB in the Midwest. You can say good riddance all you want, but I think there are some tradeoffs that need to be acknowledged. [Title]

Output: I'm not entirely sure that


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] There's a big difference between college Kap and pro Kap. He was an amazing college QB and if Michigan can have that then I for one will be very pleased. [Title]

Output: There's a big difference


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 5 days ago [Body] This is what I'm thinking. He looks like the kind of guy that if he doesn't work out at QB can move elsewhere and do well. I like that approach as it again gets you athlete's who have had to learn how to read the game early on the field. [Title]

Output: This is what I'm thinking.


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] It's almost as if the point you're making and the link at the bottom of your sig are saying the same thing. I feel my mind is being blown in a time warp and I cannot figure out which came first. To be clear I love the work you're doing, just wanted to have a little fun with it. [Title]

Output: It's almost as if the point


Input: [Date] 6 weeks 6 days ago [Body] Because anything that has to do with indictments and punishments typically runs VERY slowly. When this happened to my sister charges took about a month and she didn't get a court date for almost nine months. There're a lot of people getting hit for wrong-doing and only so much capacity to process the paperwork. [Title]

Output: Because anything that has to


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 1 day ago [Body] I'm hoping that is spray tan gone wrong, otherwise that just cannot be unseen........ [Title]

Output: I'm hoping that is spray tan


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I suggest never stop making it, it's just so much fun! [Title]

Output: I suggest never stop making


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] That's the one I was talking about. Apparently her nephew is a big kid and was pretty aggressive with her as well. I don't know what to think about the whole thing, but I don't know that it really lines up as being something more than a family having major communication issues. [Title]

Output: That's the one I was talking


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Lewan, Schofield and Denard match with that group, the rest......not so much. I know the point you're trying to make but that group from Stanford on the whole was more impressive than the Michigan group. Hopefully some of that magic rubs off here as well, but if comparing results it's hard to say the Michigan group was better. [Title]

Output: Lewan, Schofield and Denard


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Agreed but it seems right now nothing else is working all that well, so why not go to the magic Wambach well and see if she can do something. If Rapinoe and Leroux are playing off of her maybe something opens up. [Title]

Output: Agreed but it seems right now


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yeah, need to definitely go that strategy, she's not the leading goalscorer in US history for nothing. [Title]

Output: Yeah, need to definitely go


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I don't know. The story about it in ESPN the magazine made it seem pretty ambiguous. I wonder if it's more the opposite in that her celebrity and rep as a bad apple got her in trouble as the agressor in a confrontation with a guy who's much larger than her. [Title]

Output: I don't know. The story


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Isn't that kind of Rapinoe's specialty? I thought she was pretty well known for pulling offense out of nowhere. [Title]

Output: Isn't that kind of Rapinoe's


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I get the concern, but I think it'll work out because: A) They just recruited a bunch of kids out of Indiana pretty heavily B) They haven't had the Michigan camp yet and who knows what will happen there and C) Haven't they had a bunch of Michigan kid specific events in the first few months in order to build those relationships? Seriously, I think they're going to be fine. In the case of Ohio, all indications I had was that it's kind of a down year there, but I know they're after the Lakewood St. edwards kid and a couple of others, so it's not like they're ignoring the state. [Title]

Output: I get the concern, but I


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Looks like a 4-4-2(from what little I know of the Women's team and the positions they play), is this the normal formation for the US team? [Title]

Output: Looks like a 4-4-2(from what


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] That is cool and never would have known it otherwise, thanks for sharing. [Title]

Output: That is cool and never would


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] I like to think of it as a moneyball approach. Find talent you like that maybe hasn't bloomed all the way yet or hasn't gotten a ton of attention and then use it to either fill out the depth chart or get a player who can use their one or two A+ attributes to the best use. At the same time, it's not like the staff is giving up on the superstars(Caleb Kelly and Rashan Gary appear to be the most prominent mentions). So I'm perfectly comfortable with this approach as allows for some growth on the team, as well as flexibility that I'm not sure we saw as much of under Hoke. [Title]

Output: I like to think of it as a


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Attrition for a large variety of reasons is why the class failed, which for many comes down to insufficient vetting, whether they were a good fit for Brady Hoke is immaterial next to the fact that so few even stuck around and the ONE offensive lineman in it had to medically retire. To add to that, I'm not convinced Rodriguez's staff would have figured out what to do with Furman either. [Title]

Output: Attrition for a large variety


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 2 days ago [Body] Yeah, not so much with Houston. Humidity there is off the charts. [Title]

Output: Yeah, not so much with


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Operative lesson here is don't post angry and don't post simple condemnation in lieu of intelligent criticism. Bad on me for indulging in an emotional reaction and inflicting it on y'all, I am sorry for that and I know better. No hard feelings against those who neg-bombed me or called me out, you were right. For those interested, now that I've had time to cool off: 1. When I first read the Red Wedding scene, I threw the book across the room and couldn't even look at it for a week. This scene in the show engendered the same reaction and I did walk away from the TV while my wife finished watching, from what I understand the last scene is pretty cool. I went back to the books and will go back to the TV show, because the world Martin has created and the characters in it are compelling and I am still emotionally invested in several of them and so I went back to reading and loving the series(just as I assume I will do with the show), it just took some time. That said, I'm the type of person that needs someone to root for and I feel like that's gradually being taken away. As a result I am getting less and less interested as it goes on and am a little frustrated by the tone the series(both book and TV show) has taken. In my opinion the red wedding, while a genius twist, removed a lot of the narrative thrust of the series and Martin has been spinning his wheels a bit ever since he pulled off his neat little trick. 2. I'm still upset and feel that is a decision that was made for shock value and there wasn't enough set-up to make it pay off in the show. Even if you go with the "Stannis believes he's Azor Ahai" argument, you've got a situation in which he's trying to take a castle and not do anything to take on some sort of existential threat. Resulting in him deciding to do a terrible thing that feels completely out of character. So this feels like yet another decision to make the most awful thing that could possibly happen happen and that gets tiresome. Martin can object to being called nhilistic all he wants, but it's hard to argue he hasn't earned that criticism. TL:DR: I did not post intelligently last night and got what I deserved. Yes, I am still going to keep watching but am getting less and less interested and am getting closer to simply walking away which would have been inconceivable at the start of the season. [Title]

Output: Wow, did I ever deserve that ;)


Input: [Date] 7 weeks 3 days ago [Body] Just think of it as a manifestation of the "Ninja's can only attack one at a time" rule. [Title]

Output: LOL
