Why Does the Detroit Free Press Keep Shitting Out Drew Sharp Columns?

For years there has been an ongoing debate amongst the DSR editorial board about how we should handle Detroit Free Press columnist Drew Sharp on this website.

A majority of our mostly emeritus staff believes that we should treat everything the unethical troll writes as if it did not exist. Unfortunately, because I am an unhinged lunatic with a serious impulse control problem, that just isn’t possible.

And since we are the website of record for chronicling all of the awful behavior of the Detroit Sports Media, the DSR would be remiss if we ignored Sharp’s horrid Big Ten takes over the last year in the wake of Ohio State winning the first National Championship under a playoff system last night.

CONVINCINGLY.

Any conversation about the trollish behavior of this douche bag has to start with his decision to leave Michigan State off his Top 25 ballot after the Spartans loss to THEE Ohio State University in NOVEMBER!!!

The following is a takedown of Sharp from The Sporting News after that November vote.

I mean, this isn’t ancient history. Sharp thought that Michigan State wasn’t one of the Top 25 teams in the country as recently as November!!!!

IN NOVEMBER.

Ya know, the team that won the Cotton Bowl against a team (Baylor) that very easily could have been in the four-team playoff mix!!!!!

Yep, a two-loss Big Ten team wasn’t in the Top 25 in November. Someone had better tell all of those folks who voted MSU in their Top 5 in the final poll of the season. (They, in fact, finished at #5 in both end-of-season polls.)

You have to be either terrible at your job or just a desperate troll looking for page views in order to have a take like this. Well, there is a third option but we will get to that later.

Of course, Sharp is an equal opportunity fuckstick so let’s review a Tweet he sent last January regarding the University of Michigan ….

What? Hey, lookie over there ….. It’s Satan having a snowball fight with Stalin and Kim Jong-il in Hades.

Hashtag Know Your Place!!!! Hahhhhahaa. Can you imagine?

Share some more wisdom with me, ya uglier man’s Sherman Hemsley ….

So fucking funny. Did the Big Ten abuse Drew Sharp when he was a young boy or some shit? Did Muddy Waters get a muddy helmet after ….

Okay, even I am not going there.

I mean, EVERYTHING this man has said about Michigan, MSU, OSU and the Big Ten as a whole has been horrifically wrong.

Jim Harbaugh is now the coach of U of M. Thankfully for that fan base, Jim Hackett didn’t know his “place.”

The Spartans once again proved they were one of the best teams in the country with a bowl victory over a Top-5 team.

And the Buckeyes won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP with a THIRD-STRING QUARTERBACK after trying to give the Oregon Ducks the game in the first half.

And while Sharp hasn’t said much of anything about either his horrid Harbaugh take or the Spartans making him look like an ass, he did post a column today about OSU’s triumph.

And while this integrity-challenged asshat admitted he was wrong about the Buckeyes — what a revelation — he continued to take shots at both the Wolverines and Spartans …

But it’s utterly laughable to think that the Buckeyes’ statement elevates the Big Ten’s collective football profile. The two worst conferences in the Power Five have won the last two titles. But did Florida State’s 27-game winning streak and 2013 national championship improve the overall perception of the ACC?

Of course not.

This wasn’t Ohio State lifting up Michigan State and Michigan. This was Meyer putting further distance between the Buckeyes and the other 13 members of a conference that still looks at Outback Bowl victories over the SEC as celebratory achievements. If you’re a Michigan State or Michigan fan today — and if you’re being honest with yourself — you can’t be happy with the realization that Meyer owns the Big Ten and won’t surrender the title anytime soon.

The hubris this man possesses in order to make any more predictions about this conference after the above-mentioned columns and Tweets.

Earlier, I mentioned there might be a third reason for Sharp’s asinine takes and buffoonish behavior. Ya know, something other than utter stupidity or a cynical play for relevancy.

I’ve been told that Sharp has a problem with alcohol. I am not going to go all Skip Bayless and label “Not the Sharpest Drew” an alcoholic but if fellow media members notice you are imbibing at tailgates prior to games you’re covering …. maybe you’ve got a problem.

On second thought, nah.

All of the whiskey in Kentucky, the vodka in Russia and wine in France couldn’t make anyone THIS FUCKING STUPID.

He’s just a disingenuous troll.
