Bob Wojnowski takes some shots at Weis in his recent article from The Detroit News. You gotta love gems like this coming from a fatass like Wojnowski:
That football was so slippery, I swear it was being sent in from the Notre Dame sideline slathered in gravy, not that anyone over there has a [...]

To Hell with Michigan
This weekend’s game between the Irish and the Wolverines comes down to who can suck less.
