http://www.statenews.com Contact was the order of business Friday for the MSU football team’s first day of practice in full pads this summer. After four days of fall camp in shorts or half-pads, the team dressed for collisions Friday and ran about 35 to 40 live plays, head coach Mark Dantonio said. en-us Gryphon 2.2.3b-tsn (woodward)/Foundry5 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:04:42 -0400 webmaster@statenews.com http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/20720 Vacuous, this doesn’t affect real lives or achieve prosperity for a faultering economy.

And, yes, I wrote “Peking” – who gives a crap what they call it? Mainstream Western European interpretation rules, despite the reversible concessions made by the current liberal, politically correct bobble-heads in today’s media.

Dantonio’s three ring circus will not achieve prosperity for our bankrupt financial system. $100 trillion of unfunded liabilities, that is the number given by the president of the Dallas Fed Bank. When we fizzle out, the first jobs to go are those steeped in fantasy: namely the entertainment industry.

Sports enthusiasts are all juveniles and violent criminals. I really don’t feel insulted by intellectual children. I hate Obama as much as I hate McSame. I’m not the one blowing hot sticky wads over big men “scoring” and “fumbling” and getting “touchdown(there)s”.

To be sure this poor soul is conflicted, but his anti-Semitism (worn as a badge of honor),his obvious infatuation with boom-boom guns, his pretend homophobia (used as a mask to his real sexuality) and his crazed threats, look more far right than left. Probably depends upon the time of day what he truly believes which, in any case, is NOT what he writes.

You’re definitely right though, sports are here to entertain us – get over it. What are you doing to make America better and out of debt?? You’re writing on a university news article that sports are only here to distract us from our terrible lives. You are just as worthless as the opinion you have on sports. Congratulations.

You needn’t have advised us. It is abundantly clear through your little-boy rantings that you hate everyone. Most notably so, yourself, else you would not open yourself to replies in public that show only the utter revulsion people have for your bed-wetting. It must be hard to read (if you can indeed, read)that society believes you are a pathetic, whining failure.

I attack sports enthusiasts as having a latent homosexual fantasy due to the unbridled excitement from big men slamming into each other, putting hands near crotches prior to the exchange of an oblong ball, and “scoring”. What occurs is the enthusiasts get really REALLY defensive from the insecurity at having been “found out.” Instead of attacking the argument, they attack the person. Character assassination is a common tool of those who have been found out and wish to discredit the purveyor of truth. Watch as yet again they try to attack what they imagine me to be instead of the obvious argument that enthusiasts get all hot and bothered from big, sweaty, men doing rough physical activity.

Do you sit around the house all day and worry? I’m sure you are entertained somehow, therefore you are just acting like a pompus ass and bashing something others enjoy. There is nothing wrong with football or any other sport. You know what else? It’s okay to hug a guy…… it does not make you gay. The people who worry me are those who are so worried about “looking gay” that they avoid human contact. THAT, my friend is a scary scenario. Unless you have a solution to the problems in this country/world, I don’t want to hear about it. NO ONE CARES WHAT YOU THINK!!

Back to football. I am very confident that Hoyer and Ringer will rally with the talented receiving corps. I feel like the offense is going to be pretty impressive this year and I really look forward to the balance that these guys should bring. This should be the most professional looking offense in the Big Ten, which could translate to notable national production. How does everyone feel about the defense? Do you think this will be the weak spot? I hope it isn’t, but I am not sure at this point. Hoping to hear some insight on the “D”… Mon, 11 Aug 2008 22:22:09 -0400 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/20798 http://www.statenews.com/index.php/comment/view/20810 It’s pointless to block the IP address, I have a thousand working proxies ready at a moment’s notice, don’t waste your time. See people, this is how elevating the value of the human mind works, it produces real results. Elevating base primal instinct just results in more idiocy. If no one cared what I thought, they wouldn’t respond. Obviously this creates a lot of deep suffering for people’s belief in the beloved sacred fictional truth of sports competition. Don’t get me wrong, individual fitness is something to be applauded. Corporate-like NCAA Sports is a cancer on the learning environment, however.

How about Michael Vick? O.J Simpson? There is nothing positive about kids heralding violent criminals as heroes. Kellen Davis should be serving serious time behind bars before his next stunt ends someone’s life. I do have a solution. Separate NCAA Sports from the universities into unique business entities to cut off the educational cancer. Former UM President Duderstadt wrote an entire book on the highly negative amount of political influence the sports environment wields over the learning environment, go ahead, READ IT, if you’re brave. When the learning environment is more amenable to thinkers, then we can educate the upper 20% of America about the nature of currency and finance, which is currently the avenue of totalitarianism. After the collapse of the dollar, government fiat could provide a stable, debt-free currency…instantly, just as Mr. Lincoln did with the Greenbacks. Yes, I was a nerd through all of school, I wear THAT with a badge of pride. I really don’t feel threatened by base, rabid anti-intellectualism because it’s self defeating. Who do you think is keeping your lights on this very instant people? Do you think it’s some dude using a crib-sheet and copying off his partner’s exam? It’s not the CEO with a huge bonus. It’s a nerd. Nerds with taped up glasses and pocket protectors design your i-Pods, your cell phones, keep the internet flourishing, and generally make the lives of self-same anti-intellectuals possible in the first place.

Then 20 years later, the nerds are well established professional doctors, engineers and lawyers and the jocks never graduated from college and are scraping by. My what a difference. However, MSU FOOTBALL is coming back. We’ll bring the program to Michigan Dominance and displace the EGO of U of M. It will be a joyous process when we make them our little brother!
