Maurice Clarrett former Ohio State running back, was blocked from entering the NFL draft this weekend, as a federal appeals court overturned a lower court ruling allowing him to do so. The slightly fat running back still might recieve mercy from the NFL if they hold their end of the bargain and hold a selective draft after the draft this round so that Maurice doesnt get dicked over completely. If not, it just goes to show what happens when you try to fuck with Ohio State.

Anyone else find this funny?

buckeye · 04-19-2004, 06:41 PM

ohh i do, he is basically fucked over, he cant go to the NFL, and he cant go back to college football.

On PTI, they were talking that this ruling could possibly lead to a minimum age limit for the NBA.

I'm so sick of hearing about this guy. I kind of want him to get hit by a bus.

I think this was a good move. It will help the NFL and NCAA retain their supremacy in their respective places. I cannot stand Maurice Clarett, so I'm happy that he has to beg for his position back to Jim Tressel. And knowing the Buckeyes, Tressel will let him back.

Amen. We've got like 5 threads on this same subject. I mean..it wouldn't be all that bad if I gave a flying fuck in the first place...but for me personally, these threads get repetitive.

I think Jim Brown, one of the top 3 running backs in history, just put it perfectly on Outside the Lines, if the kids aren't ready to play they will never see the field, but they deserve a chance to try.

Im also loving the fact that Jim Brown, who played at age 19, and Robert Smith the all-time leading Minnesota Vikings running back are saying that the kids deserve a chance, and could very well be physically ready...while some GM who has never played in the NFL is worried that they aren't ready.

I think the only legit argument that was brought up was that of Robert Smith, when he asked the GM why should players risk getting injured in college fball, and lose out on money.

Jim Brown might bascially didnt help clarett's cause at all he presented himself as an idiot, and made dumb points.

What neither these guys realize is that if they hadn't played in college they probably would've never made it to the pros. Robert Smith took time to develop into a solid running back here at Ohio State. Essentially every player is that way. If you want to give them that choice chances are that you'll have many players go prematurely, and then they'll really be screwed if they dont make it in the NFL. If Clarett played another year of college he could prove he isnt that prone to injury, and that he can rush against teams gunning for him. Mike Williams could go as a #1 pick instead of a late first roudn pick.

Letting players go the the NFL as they see fit will dick over about 80% of the players who dont make it, turn the NFL into an NBA, and most importantly completly ruin College Football.

Oh, on a sidenote, Maurice Clarett is appealing to the supreme court to get an emergency appeal that would go into effect before the draft. Yes, that's right, the Supreme Court. The same one that has seen such cases as Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education, and Roe v. Wade.

In all do respect, Maurice, get the fuck out of there. You're making a mockery of our court system.

It seems that the only reason Maurice, and about 80% of college football players, play is because they want the money. Noone seems to play for the game anymore. You can deny or accept it fully or partially, but it's true.

Bingo! It will also ruin the NFL. I know you don't like the NFL as much, but there is a reason for the 3 year rule for college players. And they all just need to do what you said, take time to develop and get themselves better experience so they can perform better at the pro level.

Hey, the Supreme Court came through. In what proved to be a resounding "fuck you", Maurice Clarett is now ineligible for the draft.
Suck it, Clarett!
