For those of you running for cover to b-school for the next two years, you may see some familiar faces from Sunday afternoons from time to time. To stem the tide of financially ruinous behavior of its players, the NFL is sending players to classes at leading business schools. With 78% of ex-players going bankrupt within two years of retirement, the NFL wants its players to get financial advice from somebody other than the Fast Money crew (or Lenny Dykstra).

Only Greg "A." Michaels can elicit responses in the single digits with the words "business school" in a post.

Greg, Greg the tragic ol' fruit.
The more you read him, the less it's cute.
The less it's cute, the worse you feel.
Learn from Bess' mass appeal!

Fuck 'em Greg. This was fire. Really writen well.
It's been a bit like watching a newborn calf stagger to its feet (while being gangraped by a bunch of monkeys no less), but glad to see you're getting the hang of it. Short, succinct, and funny.

Greg Michael's talent is to Jay Yarow's talent as shit is to shit.
Seriously, when the fuck does EP come back?

EP is no better.

@13-EP is 20% worse.
Judging by the quality of the humorless, artless, and inarticulate whining posts re: GM's ability as a writer, so are all of you bitches.

I think the issue is that GM's topics are usually worthy of the "write-offs" and "opening bell" bullet-point sections (not always the case, but often)... He then adds a few too many lines of comment. This then triggers an alarm that alerts BLANUS guy.... we all know what happens next.
