The DSR has gained a lot of new contributors and followers over the last year, but it is hard to make a case that any has had a bigger impact than University of Michigan student Mihir Bhatnagar.
In a very short period of time, Bhatnagar has basically turned himself into this website’s version of Stuttering John Melendez. And I am talking about the Stuttering John who once asked Ted Williams if he ever farted in a catcher’s face, not the John Melendez who was the “Tonight Show” announcer for like two weeks.
Mihir’s rapid ascent among DetroitSportsRag pranksters has included:
- Disrupting a Fox-2 live remote with Ryan Ermanni in Ann Arbor by yelling “Jeff Moss” and “DetroitSportsRag” within camera shot.
- Calling into Matt Dery’s radio show on 105.1 and asking Tom Mazawey about “unwinding” kids.
- Delivering the blow-up sex doll with three inputs to Scott Anderson as part of the 2015 Detroit Worst Sports Media Personality trophy presentation.
And that is just a small sampling of Mihir’s chicanery. But the Troy native’s pièce de résistance might be his bizarre decision to create a fake Twitter account in which he acted like he was 117-year-old Detroit News sportswriter Jerry Green.
I am not sure why he thought anyone would believe that a man who has covered every Super Bowl and who sued his employer for age discrimination like THIRTY YEARS AGO would sign up for a Twitter account, but man am I glad he did.
Because not only did several Detroit media members follow the @JerryGreenNews account, a few engaged “Melrose” Jerry Green in Direct Message conversations!!!!!
Right. Because who couldn’t imagine JERRY GREEN being able to figure out DMing on Twitter? Hahahhhahahhahh.
Of course, one of the dolts who fell for Mihir’s shenanigans was five-tool imbecile Terry Foster. By my count, this is the 27th time he has fallen for a DSR-led catfishing.
If you needed any further proof that Foster is the dumbest human being on the planet (the man thinks “hyberbole” is pronounced “hyberBOWL”), well …….
Yes, Foster thought Green would DM him out of the blue to ask a question about “his” Mexican restaurant in Chesterfield Township. I mean …..
How has this guy not provided his bank account information to a Nigerian Prince yet?
But it gets worse ….
I am not even going to break down all of those posts. I just figured that you lunatics would appreciate Foster’s stupidity. It’s not hypberBOWL to say he has an IQ under 80.
And while Mihir bamboozling “The Truth” wasn’t much of a shock, it was pretty surprising that Tigers TV play-by-play voice Mario Impemba fell hook, line and sinker for the “Jerry Green” account.
The following are the exchanges between the Indian Imposter and FSD’s broadcast partner shill …..
It’s hard for me to pick my favorite exchange out of that group.
Impemba basically admitting the season is over even though he is selling the Wild Card dream on a nightly basis?
His critique of Brad Ausmus, including the thought that bench coach Gene Lamont should have intervened on Sunday to stop Ausmus from allowing Alex Wilson to pitch to Jose Altuve?
Impemba doubting that Ausmus will be the team’s manager in 2016?
A lot of head scratchers!!!!!!!
I don’t know, I love it all.
Part of me didn’t even want to post this blog because I didn’t want to tip the Detroit media off to fugazi Jerry Green.
But then I remembered that this crew is so dumb that Mihir will probably snag someone even after this is published.
