I read it ten times hoping somehow I was reading it wrong. It truely blows my mind. I have always defended Pat but that is a complete meltdown.

No screenshot but was this his explanation? (per google)

"Let's get this straight. It was rap-style song in which “monkey” was shouted 100 times. Very annoying."

Even if it was all about the lyrical content and no racial component at all, one would think a media member that was around when Howard Cosell was cancelled would have been aware to not go there with "monkey".
 




Still won't tune in to Skor North. They should also stop bringing on Doggie and that other new clown Tyler Forness who has to be one of the worst so called draft/scout analysts in the entire business. And that Phil guy who calls himself by his own nickname repeatedly needs to retire. Everytime I hear 'Ol Mack a dack' I want to throw up in my mouth and punch a baby.

The Beastie Boys were around then as well and said monkey 29 times.
 



Thought this might be serious but understand why not.

Was going to note my favorite Patrick piece was from the 2003 Michigan Game week a couple of days before The Game. Both the Gophers and Vikings had come out swinging that season, and although the Twins were making noise (that was why the game was played on a Friday night), his point was that football...not baseball, hockey, or basketball...ruled Minnesota.

There was a lot of excitement going into that game and the rest is history. The article he wrote was highly complimentary of what Grinnin' Glen was doing with the three horseman and that offensive line. Maroney...Barber...and Tapeh could not be stopped and Khaliq could manage the game by running himself when needed plus throwing a decent ball.

The end result that Friday night however ruined Gopher football from there for Patrick. Was never the same. Ski U Mah.
 



At no time in history has one generation been so clueless about an older generation. Never. Not at any other time in history.

This doesn't make sense to me, did Reusse think they were saying ass monkey? Why the self edit? What a weird thing to feel the need to tweet about in the first place.

Problem solved. He deleted his account. That never fails.

What a way for it to end.

This is what, the fourth or fifth time he deleted his account on Xitter....

Did we go through this with Sid?
Will we go through this with Souhan?

Maybe misheard “funky monkey” as fucking monkey, my mom made the same mistake and threw away my tape as a kid

Brass monkey?

I wonder how much money the Beastie Boys made from parents throwing way their tapes/CDs and the kids going out to buy a new one?

As a 10 year old, when "Big Balls" came on my Mom put an abrupt end to my AC/DC listening privileges for a couple of years despite my efforts to convince her it was about ballroom dancing.

It was a fairly common song back then, when Reusse was younger and assumedly less senile (I guess not). It shouldn't have been a total unknown to him at this point, what a dumb hill to die on. And who the hell was the audience he was trying to reach out to?

I mean I don’t think he intended to die on any hill, he was doing his old curmudgeonly man bit, and without any added context it looked horrible. Now that we know the context it’s a big nothing burger

Reusse thinks the fucking song is god-awful, made worse by insane volume levels.
He's not wrong.
