An Open Letter to Derrell Johnson-Koulianos
[Bumped, but you're really going to have to read the Harty article to get where this is coming from.--OPS]
Iowa WR Derrell Johnson-Koulianos -- Michigan postgame (via gazetteonline)
Dear Derrell Johnson-Koulianos:
Pat Harty was right; you need to get with the program.
Enough is enough already. This not-knowing-your-place shit has got to stop and you need to get with the program. I mean, who do you think you are with your hyphenated name, the tricked out acronym, and the white wall tires? Huh? And we all saw the scarf and the banker's coat you slipped into for interviews after the Michigan game. Give us a God damned break. Coach said the team had to wear an old button down oxford shirt, preferably from before you started lifting weights, and one of those waiter ties from TGI Friday's; but you have to look all Sax Fifth Avenue.
See, that's the kind of uppity bull crap that just keeps you off the program. Listen, Ferentz is trying to run a program here and the last I checked, there's no "uppity negro" in t-e-a-m. So what's it going to be Johnson (yeah, you heard me, were done with that pretentious hyphen-Koulianos shit)?
Everyone can see that you've got your own agenda, and it apparently includes eating lots of bananas. Well there's banana peels all over the place and, duh!, you're slipping on 'em. Everyone who is with the program just puts his banana peel in the trash. But not you, Mr. Fancy Coat. Maybe if you stopped eating all those bananas in the first place, you'd be with the program by now.
Look, Harty is right, the program is big, much bigger than you. Whatever it is that you did during the spring practices to get off the program, well reverse it and get your uppity ass back with the program. Otherwise you know where your going? Downtown to get a zoning permit so you can build a doghouse in that back-up spot behind McNutt, who's not only with the program, but is of the program, by the program, and for the program. Yeah, he's programmed...and that's how it works, dammit. You need to get programmed son. Got it?
Look, let me clue you in on a little secret, the team doesn't need you to be successful. In case you haven't noticed, they're 6-0. And don't let the recent loss of Chaney, who--HELLO!--wasn't with the program last year but figured it out and got with the program this year, confuse you. You're probably thinking you just bought some time to avoid getting with the program. Well, you would be wrong there Fresh Prince. The coaches made it crystal that there are some little things you need to do to get with the program and if you don't do those little things then dammit, YOU WILL NOT be with the program!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, you'll still get some playing time here and there; just enough to make you think you're with the program and more than enough to help us win games and stuff. But don't be fooled, you are not anywhere near with the program. Your damn "I'm with me" attitude has got to stop or else. You hear me? People around here have had it! Everyone can see the wink, wink, nod, nods when your asked by reporters about all this too. You're not even trying to get with the program.
Read my lips, you're squat without this program, and all the hyphens, and all the acronyms, and silk scarves, and fancy catches on third and forever that save the team's ass will only get you so far in this world. So I have some advice for you Johnson: Get with the God damned program!

Sir, were I adorned with with a hand-crafted fedora of the highest quality from the local haberdashery,
I would jauntily doff it in your direction with a cry of “Huzzah!”, thus indicating my admiration and respect for the surgical precision with which your rapier wit hath sliced yon rotund local sports-scribe.

uppity negro

Actually, I don’t care. Just wanted to post that gif. That letter is necessary.

BRAVO!
I didn’t think you could do better than your weekly Top 10, but you, sir, have exceeded your own lofty standards here.

Uh... I understand that this was a response in the style of PHarty...
…but next time you’ll have to bash yourself over the head with your laptop before writing. This, Sir, was just too well put together for it to look like a PHarty column. I mean, where is the wild speculation based on… well, I’m not sure what PHarty bases his speculation on, but I’m sure it’s less reality based than blood and chicken bones. Where are the two sentence paragraphs? Where is the latent, and deep-seeded hatred for yourself and everyone around you (including the subjects you cover)?
No, in fact, the next time you try to write like PHarty, you’ll probably just want to choke yourself for an hour, cutting off all oxygen to your brain, and then down a bottle of qualudes and a fifth of Jim Beam, just to make sure there are no cohesive thoughts lingering… and then just hand the keyboard to a braindead primate (make sure the monkay has had his fill of ludes and booze as well, just to make sure he doesn’t outwrite the Harty One).
Be expecting a call from the P-C, checking to see

Dear God, just when I thought pharty couldn't get any more hackier
At least DJK has a sense of humor about this old fat moron he barely knows making up bullshit about him and calling it news.

Pssst... that video is embedded in the story
And also is the main point of the entire.
That’s all.
Carry on.

No no no no, that's not his fault.
We embedded it after we bumped it. Rocky was, ahem, with the program.

personal attack?
i dont know how many times i’ve seen ops and the others on here attack posters on here for talking bad about players(christiansen), not to mention how much they berate pantherhawk(who is a douche) every time he writes a negative post about minnesota (which was been a running joke of yours on the twitter deal and also a new post today.). this really takes the cake. you bumped this story in which stoops calls a player on our team an uppity negro. and the fact that this whole ‘letter’ is meant to somehow motivate djk by dragging him through the dirt. truth is, none of us know what djk has done to get put into ferentz doghouse, and its getting tiresome watching everyone jump on his back. i agree that i would like to see him clean up his act (whatever that means), because as a hawkeye fan I know he is our most talented offensive weapon, but the personal attack and double standard getting set is pretty fucked up

I'm guessing maybe Harty's editors...
…don’t read his articles, either.
I guess your satire detector was runnin’ a bit lowish, 2mannings, otherwise I’m sure you wouldn’t have missed the point in using the word “program” onehundredbilliontey times in one short article.
Actually, now that I’ve re-read your “personal attack?” post, I’m wondering if maybe you weren’t putting US on with it! Truly, THAT would have been a masterfully subtle satire all by itself.
Satire—it’s tricky sometimes. We’ve all been fooled at one time or another.
If it's not too much trouble, search your soul--and then ask yourself if maybe I might have a point.

There should be a punctuation mark for sarcasm
He wasn’t the only one who read it and wasn’t sure if it was “real” or not, I even read the PHarty article. I then remembered where I was and came to my senses.

Who is Pat Harty?
Is he an incompetent dick or something?
DJK seems like he has the potential to almost be Dhani Jones cool.

To borrow a phrase from another poster...
Pharty is a mouth-breathing douchenozzle. He must have pictures of Press Citizen editors felating a donkey with ten dicks. Or even worse, doing it to him.

I hear it works really well

Plus,
Iowa gets a win in that one in a last-second TD run by an oversized white running back. Not that they were stereotyping our team or anything.

Worked out real well for that Vikins RB a few years ago.
