In case anyone was wondering where the name of this blog comes from, Mike Valenti and The Rant is the answer. After his beloved Michigan State Spartans (asshole) blew a 16 point 4th quarter lead to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish on September 23rd, 2006 (hilarious, despite my hatred of ND), Mike Valenti went off for 45 minutes on his Monday radio show, called Sports Inferno. Highlights include raving indicts of Chris Smeland, Dave Baldwin, Drew Stanton, (essentially anyone affiliated with Michigan State football), pretend choking sounds, and, of course, "the Spartans choked on applesauce." Listen to the full rant here.
As a Michigan fan, I love to see/hear anyone who enjoys an MSU win desperate to the point of tears in anger. Also, since this blog will mainly be dedicated to celebrating the insignificant, random, and pointless players in sports, the phrase "choked on applesauce" seems fairly appropriate.
