I Hath Returned!

Just in time for college football, let me hit you with a few notable observations:

1. Frank Beamer is now officially fat.

2. Desmond Howard, a mere one day into the first full weekend of the season, dropped this nugget on the populace regarding Michigan: "the winningest college football in major history, program." 

The comma indicates an actual and noticeable pause, during which time it seemed that Desmond thought to himself, "Wait, this don't sound right. What will drive home my point about Michigan's storied football tradition, while at the same time rescuing me from utter ridicule? Ah, add the word program at the end. I should have said it after football, but if I just chuck it in at the end, no one will notice. In fact, there will be such a jumble of words in the listener's mind, that what he'll remember is, 'the winningest major college football program in history,' or ' in history program football the college major winningest.' Either way, I can't lose!"
