I promised myself that I wasn’t going to post a blog on the DSR every time Mitch “Condescending Baggins” Albom wrote another “Dr. Football” atrocity in the Detroit Free Press.
I penned an article when I first discovered this abomination of journalism. I then followed that up with my exclusive story on why Frodo submits this drivel to his editor. Spoiler Alert: The Freep has a column quota for him to meet.
And finally, I washed down those two pieces with this mockery of the Keebler Elf a few days later.
I thought I was finished with Albom’s horrid attempts at comedy and his fascination with Peyton Manning; I swore I wasn’t going to give this little shit any more attention for his mail-it-in “columns” produced for the sole purpose of meeting his contractual obligations with the fish wrap.
But I woke up this morning and was swamped on social media with links to the Hero of the Menopausal’s latest embarrassment, specifically this passage:
Can you imagine Frodo’s absolute lack of awareness in making this asinine comment?
Forget for a moment that Rich Rodriguez has won EVERYWHERE he has coached outside of Ann Arbor …..
Forget for a second that, on the same the day that Brady Hoke was shitcanned by Jim Hackett, RichRod was named the 2014 Pac-12 Coach of the Year …..
Let it escape your mind for the time being that Albom’s buddy Lloyd Carr sabotaged Rodriguez’s tenure in A2 at every opportunity, INCLUDING advising some player(s) that they should attend Ohio State (ya know, one of Michigan’s “Big Three Rivals”) …….
Just imagine that none of that occurred and some of it wasn’t captured in a brilliant book written by the extremely well-respected John U. Bacon. Just turn it off. Like a light switch. Just go, click. What a cool little Mormon trick …
What?
Anyway, throw all of that out the window and remember the following ….
A columnist for the Detroit Free Press actually has the hubris to belittle Rich Rodriguez when his OWN EMPLOYER allowed a columnist (Michael RosenTorah) to vengefully derail Rodriguez’s program over absolutely nothing more than swear words and a petty grudge against Bill Martin!!!!!!!
I mean, this little midget has the audacity to ridicule Rodriguez when the newspaper that is giving him the platform to write DR. FOOTBALL columns is significantly responsible for the chain of events which led to RichRod coaching for a Pac-12 title against Oregon this evening and not leading the Wolverines.
[BTW — Have you RSVP’d yet? The DSR is hosting a RichRod viewing party of the Oregon/Arizona game at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Farmington Hills on Lake Orchard. BEAR DOWN!!!!!]
It’s like Malcom Jamal-Warner and Lisa Bonet blaming Janice Dickinson and Lou Ferrigno’s wife for not having a good time when they were in the company of Bill Cosby.
Actually, it might be nothing like that but I am extremely angry about this and I was desperate to make some sort of convoluted analogy!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, let’s go to the comments under Frodo Baggins’ latest dreck. That should calm me down for a moment.
Fuck, this paper is such an embarrassment at this point. And I really look forward to throwing more dirt on its legacy next week. HURRY UP, WOODHAVEN RECORDS DEPARTMENT!!!!!
