Rosenberg's Last FREEP Column

  • ...and scUMmers are ripping him apart in the comments section for his reporting on Rich Rod roflmao

    Michael Rosenberg's final Free Press column: We all have a shot at happiness | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

    If you think being a sports columnist in Detroit is one of the greatest jobs in the world, you are underselling it. It's so preposterously awesome that when I tell people what I do for a living, I actually feel guilty. It's like telling them I have a mutant gene that turns chocolate into muscle.

    What is that, a Titleist? A hole in one...

    Nice column

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

    From the comments:

    "I was hoping in your last column you would do the decent thing and offer a mea culpa regarding your INVESTIGATIVE reporting of RichRod. You know, the investigative report you worked on as a COLUMNIST. On a subject you clearly despised based on everything you wrote about him and your little parking lot discussing with Jim Brandstatter. Or maybe an apology for not knowing the difference between countable and NON-COUNTABLE hours.

    But instead, you just ripped off a column about an elevator operator at a Detroit sports venue. Hmmm, kind of similar to a column I read a few years back about Sara Simpson, the Tigers Stadium press box elevator operator.

    You are terrible. As a matter of fact, in a town of horrid Detroit Sports Media members, you were crowned the worst.

    See ya around, RosenNebbish. Hopefully, when we meet up for the trophy presentation."

    Michigan State does not and will not run the 3-4 defense.

  • "I will never forgive you for the way you treated and reported on Rich Rodriguez, never giving him a chance. I hope you fail at SI!"

    It's from Jeff Moss...aka the most bitter cry baby wanna be sports writer/talk show host in the Midwest.

    He has a grudge against anyone in the media because they won't let him in..mainly
    because he a worse hack than anyone who is actually in.

    Look him up if you want some comedy...I believe he has a website that does nothing but rip on the Detroit media.

  • I love the fact he mentions every major team except U of M.

    Remind yourself. Nobody built like you, you design yourself.

    lol Would that be the recruiting rankings trophy presentation, or the September Heisman presentation?

    Peter Scolari? I think that's his name.

  • Funny story. You know who DOES know the difference between those hours? The NCAA. Who made the rules, reviewed the case, and found UM guilty.

    Deal with it.

  • Always liked Rosenberg (and it had nothing to do with how he wrote about Rich Rod, if anything he did UM a favor by exposing what a circus that guy was running). Sad to see him leave the Detroit media but congrats to him.

  • This is sad to see, Rosenberg was about the only solid writer left at the Freep. Not surprising that he is moving on to better things.

    I'm guessing this is the website you're talking about. Holy crap is this a bitter little man.

    Yup...Peter Scolari was his name, I believe, and he does resemble him. As for the article...very Myth Albom light...which is saying a lot....which is to say...nothing. Much like Myth himself.

    At least Rosenberg was doing it in a situation where sentimentality is ok, Mitch gets this sentimental about a week 3 football game between U of M and fucking UMass or whatever.

    Over on the right he's got a bracket challenge for the worst Detroit sports reporter. Final was Rosy and Foster. Rosenberg knocked out Valenti in the first round. I don't think he likes Rosenberg too much.

  • Why you people always so mean to Poor 'Ol Jeff?

    Rosenberg is an unfunny, talentless hack.

    I am not even a MICHIGAN FAN. I just think his behavior (as chronicled by John Bacon) was despicable.

    Columnists shouldn't be working investigative pieces. Especially when they have told others that they have an ax to grind.

  • I think it'd be really funny if he got fed up with UM fans so much that he decided to write one more article about how Mark Dantonio is the best football coach the state of michigan has ever seen. Ann Arbor would implode into a giant sinkhole.

    Yeah because John Bacon is a bastion of truth, unbiasness, and integrity.
