THE SPORTS WORLD’S MOST WANTED JERKS

The FBI has its most wanted felons list, Balladeer’s Blog has its Most Wanted Jerks list. Be warned! If you see these people in person DON’T TRY TO APPREHEND THEM YOURSELVES! Immediately contact Balladeer’s Blog and my crack team of marshalls will be on their way to take these jerks into custody.

OFFENDER: REX RYAN … WANTED FOR: INTENSE STUPIDITY AGGRAVATED BY FELONY  BUFFOONERY … Rex Ryan, son of the abrasive and unlikeable Buddy Ryan and inheritor of the title of  Don of the Ryan Family Jerk Empire, once again began gnawing at the ankles of Bill Belichick, the coach who owns him like a set of car keys. Ryan is wanted for blustering as if his Jets vs the New England Patriots Dynasty is some form of rivalry.

MICHIGAN STRIKES OUT AGAIN

In another one of those wonderful reality checks for Division 1 sports programs who think they’re still on top of the world despite all the evidence to the contrary the Michigan Wolverines just got rejected AGAIN by a former “Michigan Man”, in this case Les Miles. The Mad Hatter decided to pass on the opportunity to chew grass in the Big House 8 times a year and stayed at LSU. My comedy piece from last week about Michigan’s insane and outdated Schembechleresque obsession with finding a Michigan Man prompting them to bring Ex-President Gerald R Ford back from the dead to coach their team is even more relevant so here’s the link to it: https://glitternight.com/2011/01/08/pres-gerald-ford-returns-from-the-dead-to-coach-the-michigan-wolverines/
