FOOTBALL GREAT AND EX-PRESIDENT, GERALD FORD PASSES AWAY
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

Cheers to Gerry. Might have unfortunately been a Michigan man, but was still a good man and excellent leader. To bad the ship was sinkign when Nixon left office, and he didnt’ have much of a chance.

Now that’s just superfluous!
Taft was.
Really? Taft?

“I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.”
I think that says enough about the man. That’s impressive (for a Wolverine).

Ah, give ol’ Ger a break — he played without a helmet. Presidents of a more recent vintage don’t have that excuse.

The dude was alright. He was handed a big shutburger from Tricky Dick and managed to right the ship. Probably the last remaining Prez or exPrez without a big ego. Wife Betty also used her position as first lady to do a lot of good and continues to do so.

On Mike and Mike this morning, they were talking about how once when Ford was in Russia for a conference, he had he people wake him up at 3 a.m. so that he could find out the final score of the Mich.-tOSU game. Now THAT is something I can respect.

See, now if he had stayed awake for the game, I would say kudos, b/c to go into a meeting with the Ruskies after drinking and watching a football game all night would be badass.

Now I know where the inspiration for Steve Rissler’s scowl came from.

Gerry also used to get Sports Illustrated hand delivered to the Oval Office every week…he typically got his copy several days ahead of everyone else.

Speaking of Betty… her occupation when she married the football player/stud/president-to-be was “dancer”. The official biography does not indicate whether or not a pole was involved.

He was directly responsible for the deaths of over 200,000 East Timorese, launched the careers of Rumsfeld and Cheney into the stratosphere and, oh yeah, no-questions-asked, pardoned the greatest criminal in the history of the presidency. Go Big Blue!

“…the greatest criminal in the history of the presidency.”
Aren’t you forgetting the present occupant?
Actually, there’s stiff competition all around, so maybe Bush doesn’t fit that description either.
Anyway, this is a football blog so… uh, who is playing in the Emerald Bowl?

Stephen, this is a college football site, not daily kos. and no one who reads this site gives a damn about your political views.

But since there is a political threadjack…….
Since Gerry was the last surviving member of the Warren Commission, will the unredacted entirety of the report be revealed now?
“I want to believe.”

Buck up Michigan Men. It’s been a rough year.
Bo. The loss at OSU. Desmond Howard being allowed to speak on national TV. Gerald Ford passes away.
Keep your chins up. You’ll make it through.
