Rosenberg wanted to "break" a big story and get some recognition. I doubt he gives a shit about carrs job.
And... what percentage of Michigan fans think RR is a bad fit? Seems like more of you guys should be cheering Rosenberg on.Rashean Mathis: "I'm an egg guy. Last year we didn't have (the omelet station). I didn't complain, but I was dying inside."

Rosenberg wanted revenge, because he felt (and maybe even still feels) that Carr was pressured out before Lloyd wanted to go. Rosenberg had made up his mind to hate whoever the replacement was, it simply happened to be Rodriguez. He would have chomping at the bit to tear apart ANYONE who would have been the Wolverine's replacement, Miles, Harbaugh, Kelly... it wouldn't have mattered.
How many people think RR is a bad fit is irrelevant to this... Rosenberg intentionally blew up a story far beyond what it really was in the hopes of exacting his pound of flesh from the guy who "forced out" Carr.

I don't see any reason to believe Rosenberg had any motive other than, hey, I've uncovered a major college football program doing wrong, and it'll help my rep. Surely that outweighed the reaction of Michigan fans, who have crucified him over it.I made baseball as fun as doing your taxes!

I'm not sure of exactly how that relationship came to be either. I wasn't in that loop until long after it started (I didn't start doing my internships until 2002). If I had to guess, Rosenberg was probably one of the few columnists Carr treated like a human being, and it kinda built from there.

In a nutshell, the NCAA spent 15 months processing Michigan case that basically boiled down to too much time spent stretching. Brandon reminded everyone Thursday that Rosenturd can now wipe the egg off his face, he politely noted these "major violations" were much ado about something less than was advertised initially. - Nice swipe at the Freep!

I don't know what relationship Rosenberg has with Carr. I don't know what his motive was. It matters not to me that he attended Michigan - although that apparently should make him a super fan. All I know is that he got the story wrong. The proof is in the penalties or lack thereof. Saying "Hey I just reported what I was told" is no defense. His editor should not have allowed the story to be printed as it was. Now the Freep has egg on their collective faces. Of course they'll steadfastly deny it.I'll let you ban hate speech when you let me define hate speech.

I sense an overinflated sense of self-righteous indignation here....
U-M got caught for the equivalent of speeding. You want to equate that with the manslaughter the other colleges mentioned got caught for you just keep on keepin' on with your bad self GJ.Apathetic No More.

The record at the end of the season might do it.
