Every program is dirty. It obviously happens at the top programs, and I've witnessed it happening at the worst programs. All depends on who the NCAA feels like going after.

I've never seen players get paid under the table but they do often get free food and free drinks at local Columbus establishments.

When I worked at Marcos a few years back we did a large order for all the "good" prisoners, and Clarett was on the list. He ordered a large 3 topping and 2 dozen chicken wings. Irrelevant info, the cool part is I got to send pizza to Mo while he was in prison. I held on to his order form. Probably no value, but something cool to have.

In my opinion the biggest waste of talent we've seen in a long time. He was special.

I knew a guy who worked for OSU's football team, he said boosters and big name supporters would slide money to players after games all the time. Probably happens all over. Free food and drinks for athletes happens everywhere I know that, I would bet money my brother is getting free food right now because he's a D1 player.

What exactly are you doing under the players tables?

I am sure that his HS mentors gave him a daily dose of "how to live your life lessons".
I'm sure they didn't. Or did you miss this part of the article:
In high school, Clarett was a dynamo on the field. He rushed for 248 yards in one of his first games as a freshman. He says he never really went to class, and he was allowed to slip through the academic cracks because of his football ability.

This is exactly the kind of shit that kills any image redemption Clarett was attempting to create. CCrunner was right...once an idiot always an idiot.

Well, the warrant is out for his girlfriend and not him, so maybe he did learn something.

His girlfriend hitting him makes him an idiot?

Any post that says that CC was right has no credibility whatsoever.

I fail to see what MC did wrong, other than be whacked up with a crazy woman.

In that case, Chuck Finley must've been an idiot too, huh? I mean, his old lady was beating on him, too.

When you are under the scrutiny MC is any BS like this just gives credence to the thought most folks have of him being a worthless thug. You wanna truly change your life around you don't hang with chicks that beat on you and more so we haven't heard her side of it yet.

#1. Dude has been out of the limelight for awhile. Not thinking he's under as much 'scrutiny' now.

#2. BS like this gives credence that he was dating someone who assaulted him. Again, was Chuck Finley a worthless thug?

#3. In order to not hang around "chicks" who beat you, you'd probably have to know which women would do so, and they don't exactly wear scarlet letters.


C'mon, man. You're not so naive to think life is that clear cut.

The guy just recently said he was changing his life around and alot of people around town winked and said, "sure you are Mo...." and its shit like this that lets them think they are right whether they are or not.

I personally said I hoped he did turn it around but knew he was out of strikes in the public eye.

For what it's worth on Christmas Eve Clarett was at Buckeye Corner at Easton with Roy Hall signing autographs for Roy's Driven Charity.

But this has nothing to do with whether or not someone is heading in the right direction. If this lends anything to his credibility in either direction in the public eye, then the public is comprised predominantly of morons.

Essentially, if his life direction were quantified in numbers, this would be the color orange. Tells no tale about the direction HE'S taking his life.

Not sure I'd care about his autograph at this point. The guy is a bum, but I'm glad he's at least doing something nice in the community.

This is clearly Mo's fault. If he was gay, he wouldn't have a girlfriend and would not have been hit. He should have been gay! He said prison changed him, didn't he? Looks like he lied! If prison changed him, he would be a flamer! He is lucky she didn't hurt him real bad, and cripple him.
