Anchor Man
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- Fans of the NFL Draft are aware that the last man taken in the annual pro football meat market is dubbed “Mr. Irrelevant.” The “winning team” makes a big deal out of it and the player so chosen usually gets more publicity than many of the guys taken in earlier rounds. ...

Anthony Bourdain
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- Here’s the thing about Anthony Bourdain: like many of the foods he sampled in his worldwide travels, Bourdain was himself, an acquired taste. He wore an almost constant goofy smirk that initially made one’s douche meter start to register, but then he gradually pulled...

WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) – There was mucho wailing and gnashing of teeth here in Flyerland when Kostas Antetokounmpo decided to withdraw from UD and enter his name for the upcoming NBA Draft. How dare he, after Bucky Bockhorn had finally figured out how to pronounce “Antetokounmpo!”

Ghost of Gifs 'R' Us
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- Following the Frankenstein naming convention I outlined in my last gif compendium (explained here: http://www.udpride.com/forums/showthread.php?t=31238) it is time for Ghost of Gifs ‘R’ Us, which is only fitting since Toys ‘R’ Us is no longer among the living.

The Final Five
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) -- No, the old dude didn’t lose track of time. I do realize that the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship game was last week. And no, I didn’t forget how to count, either. Villanova and Michigan did indeed square off in the final game of the Final Four. The...

Don't Know What To Say
WEST BLOOMFIELD (MI) – The UD Flyers traveled to Fairfax, VA on Wednesday evening and put up their worst effort of the season in an 85-67 drubbing at the hands of George Mason. Fortunately for “FTS” I didn’t feel like paying GMU to watch this debacle, so I just followed along on Live...
