Not really fisking Coleman today, per se, in looking at Ntoday’s column, in which a couple of longtime U of M season ticket holders are complaining about the segregated beer sales at the U’s new TCF Stadium:

[The couple] can’t endure the unfairness and crass commercialism that are coming next. And they can’t abide the thought that the swells in the padded seats will drink beer at the new TCF Bank Stadium while fans in the cheap seats are cut off from the taps when football moves back to campus next fall.

“Swells”?

Lemme think; a “swell” is the next step below “big cheese”, isn’t it?

Sometimes I wonder; has Coleman taking “retro” to absurd lengths, or did he learn English from watching Mike Hammer movies?
