GERALD FORD RETURNS FROM THE DEAD TO COACH THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES
The Michigan Wolverines football program, still mindlessly clinging to the late Bo Schembechler‘s words about having a Michigan man coach Michigan, have followed that outdated thinking to its logical conclusion and have raised ex-president and former Wolverines player Gerald Ford from the dead to be the team’s new coach.

CACTUS BOWL KICKS OFF AT 7PM

Renaissance Man Brett Favre has many talents. He can hold teams hostage with his childish whims and his egomaniacal craving for flattery and cajoling… he can set new standards in the art of throwing interceptions even when you think his best years are behind him in that art form … he can get coaches fired with his prima donna antics even though his former teams the Packers and the Jets are in the playoffs and Bawlin’ Brett is stuck at home watching … but most especially Brett Favre can disgust and revolt women like nobody else can with his inimitable combination of moronic come- on lines and allegedly with his sophomorically suggestive text messages. Yes, while many athletes get into trouble over their bedroom successes with the opposite sex the Ollll’ Interception Machine has gained notoriety for Continue reading
