[thejetstolehome]

[ironlionOROKU]

he had 4 guns!!!! ran over a spike strip!!!!

[The Matt Kaufman]

good football players gone wild..on the next geraldo

[ColourandShape]

wow, what a moron. seriously, how do you fuck up your future that bad....

[The Matt Kaufman]

wow, what a moron. seriously, how do you fuck up your future that bad....

Haha he definitely has figured out how!

[KB3RG]

Damn you for posting this already. I was thinking of the title to post this too! Clarett runs again, but this time from cops . owell the man is dumb. Honestly, why would someone try to run from the cops. Has a bullet proof vest on, 4 loaded guns. I am an OSU fan, I use to like him but I hope he rots in jail.

[The Matt Kaufman]

he'll probably meet bubba in jail

[justinevans]

He's a real life Uncle Rico

[Chemical Love]

I'm watching this on Cold Pizza right now. He's fucked up. Why the hell do you need to have 4 loaded weapons in your car?

[KB3RG]

he'll probably meet bubba in jail

I can only hope so or maybe he will become Bubba?

[ColourandShape]

4 loaded weapons, thats incredible

what are you gonna do with 4 loaded guns? kill someone 4 times? nothing but bad can be the outcome from that, its just common sense....what is wrong with this guy

[The Matt Kaufman]

I can only hope so or maybe he will become Bubba?

hahah true

He has to be lacking common sense. Just not born with it. I never thought someone would be this dumb. Even though he did bring the national championship to OSU, maybe just maybe we can change the moto "once a buckeye, always a buckey" to "once a buckeye, always a buckeye(besides that dumbass Clarett) "

[existentialism.]

so sad

[Juliana101]

I love this, I never liked him. This made my day.

[Caleb Cattivera]

where the bengals at?

[The Matt Kaufman]

I love this, I never liked him. This made my day.

Did he used to tear it up against Penn State?

[Juliana101]

Did he used to tear it up against Penn State?

No, not last year at least.

Ok... probably...

Ok...yes...

However, PSU-1 Maurice Clarrett-0

he beat everyone though

[ThisIsNotDan]

absolutely fucking insane. this guy could've been one of the best players in the NFL. now this. that sucks.

[Juliana101]

But honestly, how can anyone feel bad for him? It's nobody's fault but his own, and something that could have been prevented, I bet in a few years he'll be a homeless murderer.

[The Matt Kaufman]

and he'll be one of those "I am really good at football but Im just a nutty son of a bitch"

[Juliana101]

After he spends some time in prison, he'll find God and try out for the NFL. We've seen it before in some way or another.

[preppyak]

he had 4 guns!!!! ran over a spike strip!!!!
well, good thing he had that bullet proof vest on

if I heard correctly, they tried tasering him, but his vest prevented it working....hahahaha

Seriously, OJ tries to one up the man with his home video, and Maurice comes right back over the top

Maybe he's mad at Troy Smith getting all this press...he wanted to take him out

[preppyak]

[Goodbye Forever]

Four loaded guns and a bullet proof vest... I really need to know what he was planning. I knew the dude was out there, but I didn't think he had literally lost his mind.

this made my fucking day when i heard this this morning.

i hate hate hate this fucker. yeah, i'm a diehard buckeyes fan, but fuck this dude. he grew up around here so i had to deal with this dipshit through high school. he's always been a fucking waste of flesh. i was bummed when he went to osu because even then i wasn't able to root for him. the national title was nice, but we'll get another one with out him soon enough, so fuck it.

and there are actually some people who feel bad for this fuck. how? seriously. it's not like he had a promising future and an injury ended it or something out of his control. he ruined his own fucking life. nobody else can be blamed for any of it. he's been handed so much shit his entire life and he always ends up shitting all over it.

i hope it comes out that he was on his way to shoot some bitches up and they nail the shit out of him with conspiracy charges. this fucker needs to rot in jail.

fuck maurice clarett.

you said fuck 9 times in one post. nice.

[FondestMemory]

you said fuck 9 times in one post. nice.

i actually retyped it because i thought i was a little too harsh the first time. so i calmed down a bit, then tried again.

second time actually came out much nicer.

[FondestMemory]

what did he do in high school, i'm dying to hear some pre college Clarett success stories

he grew up in austintown, which is where i live. but come time for high school football, his mom 'got offered a job' in warren, like 10 minutes from here and a bigger school with a better team. wasn't an amazing job, but yet they somehow managed to provide her and the family housing within the warren school district. so all that shit was obviously shady.

and one of my good friends actually teaches at the school he went to and had him in classes a few times. long story short, he almost lost his job for giving clarett the english grade he deserved. instead, the grade got changed. he's got more stories than i do, but he hated that fuck too.

dude's just a waste and always has been.

[bigmike]

haha, how quickly before he get's signed to the Cincinnatti Bengals?

and jesus christ, who does he think he is? Lawrence Phillips?

that goes on with basically all top rated high school football players. We had Kelly Baraka who was the 3rd rated RB in the nation back in 2001 and he had a 1.9 GPA but graduated with a 2.8 and got into the University of Michigan.

but then he got dismissed for getting caught here with pot before he graduated and then his dad blamed it on the "forces of the city of Portage" that corrupted his good kid.

oh, i know. my buddy i played four years with in high school's mom was getting 'job offers' every offseason. and so did a friend of mine who was a freshman when i was a senior (who btw just signed to the vikings undrafted).

it happens all over, but my point is mostly that he's had everything given to him. he had a successful life full of riches and fame gift wrapped for him, but the fucker insisted on trying to trade it in for a better gift.

fuck that dude.

[preppyak]

so...I'll be the guy to find the silver lining in this for Maurice Clarett

If, after half a bottle of vodka, it took multiple cops and a taser/mace combo to bring him down....maybe he still has it, I mean, I don't know many D-lines with that kind of force...

bulletproof vests are against nfl dress code.

yeah....but he'll take it to court and try to get them to change it

I mean, according to Skip Bayless, half of the NFL players are thugs anyway, so he'll have support

an ironic sidenote, goodell was saying in his introductory press conference that one of the first changes he wants to make is to legalize bulletproof vests on the field.

he said it's one of many steps to getting the nfl to his 'ideal' type of football. he compared his 'ideal' type of football to the opening scene of the last boyscout, minus the gambling sub plot.

because in the nfl, gambling is wrong.

You guys in Portage have some good softball teams.
Yeah we do. Portage Northern, where i went to high school, i think leads the state in Softball State Titles and, possibly, in runner up finishes/final four appearances, etc. And when I was a freshman Ms. Softball for Michigan went to my school, Ashley Smith. She just gratuated from South Carolina and is playing in some Pro Softball League I saw on ESPN 2 a week or so ago. She was also all state singles tennis player and an all conference basketball player, i believe.

Plus, the Softball World Series, the softball version of the LLWS, is held like, less than 2 miles from my house.

Yeah, I get what you mean. I would have loved to excel at a sport and get a D-1 scholarship so i could get a free education where you really dont' have to do much learning because basically every single D-1 school caters to all it's athletes.

[FondestMemory]

yeah. or you could get offered d-1 scholarships but turn them all down to come to a 1aa school with a good winning history and end up quitting the team after one season anyways and dropping out of school shortly after.

i'm sure you wouldn't regret it at all years later.

haha, are we dredging up old memories?

Sometimes I'd like to see like the best high school QB or a kid like D-Wade or Lebron be in a small conference to see waht kind of numbers they put up. Like, I wonder what numbers lebron would put up at Akron, or if the Michael Vick came to Western Michigan or something.

yeah. like culpepper or mcnair in college. they were big time players in small ass conferences.

or even better example, randy moss. that fucker was unstoppable.

lebron at akron would have been insane though. it's interesting to think, if the age limit was instilled back then, where would he have went? i say ohio state.

yeah, i know. But don't remind me of Randy Moss and Marshall. It makes me think of Pennington who had a TD run as time ran out to win the game in the MAC Championship against the WMU Broncos :shake:

Lebron would be a Senior in College if he went to college, correct? Imagine Bron and Oden. wow.

before marshall went division 1 them and ysu had a kickass rivalry. they were meeting in the championship game like every year.

my favorite marshall moment though is leftwich being carried by lineman to the line of scrimmage.

and yes, lebron would be going into his senior year. and oden would be an extra piece to help lead osu to their fourth straight national title.

how recently?

probably 4 years ago. maybe more.

cool. i know they kicked off the season there in 99, which was the season after i played. i don't know how many times they've went up there since.

huh. jesus, it might have been 99. Actually that makes sense because i wasn't in high school, so i think it was probably that game. either way, i remember they won.

actually, i just searched Tim Lester wmu on yahoo.com and the first link was to a YSU/WMU box score. that was the game i was at. god, i can't believe that WMU team was from back then. That was the Marshall/WMU MAC Title Game.

i played free safety.

but had i played that season there was a lot of pressure for me to challenge for starting qb. but the main reason i went to ysu over the bigger schools that recruited me was that tressel assured me i'd be there primarily for defense. none of the other schools were interested in me playing defense, and i didn't really want to play qb anymore.

but the qb was so bad that he brought it up more than once that he'd like me to try out for the job, but was mostly leaving it up to me.

wow. most kids would jump at the chance to be a starting QB.

but you missed out on playing probably the best WMU team in the school's history :) Tim Lester has the 4th most passing yards in 1-A history.

[FondestMemory]

i played qb all four years in high school, and i never really enjoyed offense all that much. plus i ran the option out of the wishbone for three of those years, so there's no telling how i'd have adapted to a different offense.

and i was young and cocky. so my thinking was that if i could play four solid years of defense i could try to nag a spot at the combine and go from there.

yeah, i remember tim lester back in the day. dude was damn good.

yeah. running the wishbone seems like it'd suck. You think you would've enjoyed it more if it was a more balanced/pass heavy high school offense?

We used to be pretty balanced when i was a freshman because we had Kelly Baraka, the kid that was like #3 in the nation at RB and after he graduated we went to a full time Shotgun offense.

and in 1999, running primarily out of the shotgun, we had a 3000 passer, 1000 yard reciever, and 1000 running back. nuts. fucking chad pennington. i will never, ever like him.

[FondestMemory]

yeah. running the wishbone seems like it'd suck. You think you would've enjoyed it more if it was a more balanced/pass heavy high school offense?

nah, probably not. the coach gave me a lot more pass freedom than you'd usually have in the wishbone. a lot of triple option plays turned into quadruple options if i felt there'd be a hole in the defense for a pass. so i still had my fair share of throws. and then the new coach my senior year opened it way up to basically 4 receiver sets at all times.

i just always loved defense. i never wanted to play offense at all, and avoided it all the way up until my freshman year when our varsity qb got hurt and there really wasn't a backup, so i got nominated.

[bigmike]

seriously, i wonder where clarett was going. maybe being arrested saved his life.

whether that's good or bad is up to personal opinion.

Edit: nevermind, on Sportscenter they just said someone said he was close to a person's house that was going to testify against him in his robbery case.

[FondestMemory]

seriously, i wonder where clarett was going. maybe being arrested saved his life.

i honestly think he expected to die last night.

he made a bunch of calls thanking people for nice things they've done for him. almost like he was making amends for shit.

and if you see him in the footage in the back of the police car, he doesn't look like somebody that just got maced and resisted arrest. he almost looks relieved to an extent.

i hate the fucker, but i'd never wish suicidal gunfight on anybody.

yeah, i just edited my post because on sportscenter they said he was close to a person's house that was going to be testifying against him in this robbery case.

And Tom Friend, who writes for ESPN the Mag said Clarett called him last evening out of the blue and was very humble and said he just had a daughter and then went on a big rant of how he cries when he holds his daughter and how he's got a court case still pending, etc etc. He also basicaly implied he thinks clarett is an alcoholic.

[FondestMemory]

apparently, clarett was drunk during most of his time with the broncos.

and i think that kinda turned shanahan off.

yeah, the dude's got a lot of shit that's gonna get thrown at him. but as i stated earlier, he's done everything to himself.

yup. dug his own grave.

[Flags of Dawn]

The arrest will not affect Clarett's status with the team, Terry said.

"We gave him a chance and now we'll wait to see what happens," he said. "I've seen far worse situations than this."

best part of the article.

[KB3RG]

I laughed at reading the transition of talking about high school football. I enjoy talking about how bad my school was at football. I never played football because i played baseball year round but yeah. we were basically a running team that had attempted to pass every now and then and the ball would just end up in the other teams hands. We were a D2/D3 depending on the year we lost to a D5 school. At the half time it was 48-0. Our marching band would outshine our football team. Have to love good old Genoa. yuck

[KB3RG]

I remember listening to Claretts current coach saying how he is still part of the team. and how he wants to get Steve Bellasauri for the team now (big mistake) and then something was mentioned where the announcers were asking who was to blame for the situation and someone said it wasnt his fault. wtf

[ColourandShape]

this situation went from hilarity to just plain sad

[The Matt Kaufman]

maybe he'll end up in the NFL and then set all these records and just have issues ..thatd be hilarious

[ColourandShape]

apparently hes supposed to play for an indoor team?

[FondestMemory]

apparently hes supposed to play for an indoor team?

he signed on to the mahoning valley (youngstown) hitmen. it's a minor league arena league. the owner of the team is so shady too, i'm doubting they'll ever even play a game.

but the dipshit coach came out and said this is all the nfl's fault, then said the hitmen and the league they play in will 'stand behind maurice clarett.'

sadly though, dude's going to prison, so they're gonna have to wait in line.

[FondestMemory]

this situation went from hilarity to just plain sad

i still fail to see anything sad about it. dude's done it all to himself. no pity here.

[TBSowns524]

i really feel bad for this guy
I feel bad for him in the "he's still sympathetic cause he was a great player" kind of way...not in the, it's somebody else's fault way. We love tearing down people after making them huge...but, what we love even more than that is to feel sorry for them in it's aftermath. That's pretty much the cycle. Build up -> Tear Down -> Feel Bad - > Give Chance -> Repeat

He didn't make the NFL...and it's his fault he tried to defy the rules. He didn't get back into OSU...and it's his fault he broke the rules. He didn't make it in the NFL, despite given the chance somehow, and it's his fault he couldn't make the weight for it...

So, this is pretty much all his fault...and now it's spiraling downhill for him...more so than before.

Mike Decourcy nailed it in his column...and I'll link it, but, the key line to me is right here:

"Football is a hard game. It exacts a stiff price. Those who are willing to pay that price are rewarded, but nothing is handed to them. Which is as it should be..."

http://www.sportingnews.com/experts/mike-decourcy/blog/index.html

I mean...a man with taht many weapons, who drank that much, who fought that hard to evade cops...has issues. They are HIS issues, and the NFL and OSU may have forced them to the surface a little bit, but, a 16 game NFL season for 15 years would have done far worse I imagine

[FondestMemory]

haha...since the story has twisted, that name gets funnier..

yeah. i hate the name. but, with youngstown's mob history, i guess it doesn't surprise me.

too bad they turned my away for their mascot. kaboomey the car bomb really would have won the kids over.

[FondestMemory]

i really feel bad for this guy

how? seriously?

i really don't get how anybody can have the least bit of sympathy and compassion for this fuck.

[livethesounds]

you...sir, apparently hate ganstas. dont be a hater.

[bigmike]

maybe he'll end up in the NFL and then set all these records and just have issues ..thatd be hilarious
no. hundreds of thousands of dollars and possibly more is the LAST thing he needs.

I think had he gotten to the NFL it would've just made his problems worse with the excess of cash that would flow around and the amount of shady people that would flock to him.

Then again, it sounds like he doesn't feel any self worth at all anymore and maybe "making it" in his sport would've fulfilled that. and he could've turned himself, personally, around.

I doubt it.

I feel bad for his daughter.

I feel bad for his daughter.

thing about that is though, money and fame can be a bad combination. but i actually think fame without the money is worse, and that's what he's got. were he making millions, maybe he wouldn't be in a position to feel the need to carry loaded guns and wear a bulletproof vest.

there was no saving him. the broncos apparently went out of their way trying to make him feel like he fit in. they supposedly had veterans bending over backwards trying to befriend him so that he knew he had people around him, but instead he turned his back on all of it.

and i do feel bad for his daughter. that's the only sad thing out of all of this. but, she's young enough to not realize how big of a fucking waste of flesh her father is, so it could be worse. she's still got a great chance of coming out normal.

he should feel a lack of self worth. and prison is probably the best place for him right now. just too bad for him it took him 22 years to realize what most people knew years ago.

that's tom friend's article from today. detailing the conversation a little more. definitely an interesting read.

and how kickass is tressel? this fuck tried to bury him and shame his name, and he still tried to reach out and help him. dude's incredible.

The thing with Tom Friend makes me believe Maurice was out to

a. hunt down that witnes

b. Kill somebody/protect himself...and not over time, i'm talking immediate kind of a thing

You don't call a guy you' haven't talked to in over a year and get confessional unless shit is about to go down. Either his life was in imminent danger, or someone else's was

that's what i'm saying. i think he honestly felt like he wasn't going to survive through the night.

i'm interested to hear an interview with lebron. i wonder if he actually did call him or if he just made that up.

[Adeniz19]

after he killed that witness he probably was going to have a show down with the po-po.... that would of been intense

[FondestMemory]

i don't get the 'i'd go to jail for 30 years for my little girl.'

the whole thing's just crazy.

[preppyak]

i don't get the 'i'd go to jail for 30 years for my little girl.'

the whole thing's just crazy.

that part makes me think someone was threatening his life...that telephone call sounds like a "I get my death call...here's my life story for your article on me" kind of a call.

Funny, becuase if that is the case, he may end up going to jail for I think 26 years is the max so far

yeah. i almost took it as somebody was going to kill him. by going out and killing somebody, or doing something with the loaded guns, he'd end up in jail. and in his mind, jail was safer than the free world.

[bigmike]

i think him getting arrested definitely saved his life.

I don't have much empathy for him, but I wouldn't want to see him die.

[ColourandShape]

going to the slammer at this point in his life is gonna do much more good than bad

[bigmike]

assuming he doesn't hang himself. which is gruesome to think about, but entirely possible given his unstable personality.

[justinevans]

still? where was he going?

[FondestMemory]

still? where was he going?

i doubt we'll ever find out the true answer.

[justinevans]

i doubt we'll ever find out the true answer.

I heard he just wanted a Chalupa =)

[FondestMemory]

haha. tressel spoke to the media and claimed he didn't get a call the night of the arrest, even though clarett said he called him.

i wonder if tom friend was really the only person he called? this whole fucking thing is just weird.

imagine how much more confusing it'd be if he hadn't made the one phone call we know for sure took place.

[livethesounds]

I heard he just wanted a Chalupa =)

That seems plausible, considering he had plenty of Grey Goose to wash it down with.

[dekdog11]

As a Miami fan, I'll always be haunted by him literally taking the ball out of Sean Taylor's hand after he picked it off in the Fiesta Bowl. Clarett was fantastic that season, and really had everything going for him, but fucked it up. I felt bad for him at first when he was suspended and than could not play in the next season, but after his continuois idiotic acts I have no respect or care for him. That 5 million dollar bail is going to be interesting.

I love Jim Tressel. I'm not a huge fan of the program since I'm a Miami fan, but Tressel is a fantastic guy and a greaty coach. I love everything about the guy and I'm glad he has brought Ohio State to this level.

Definitely. He's one of my favorite coaches out there.

I have Larry Coker :shrugs:.

[KB3RG]

Nothing wrong with Larry. I just commenting on those shirts that was made the past year or so. I am sure you were not complaining when he led you the past few years

[dekdog11]

Oh haha I've never seen them. Actually I am a big Larry supporter. Down here he gets SO much shit its unbelievable. With prestige comes criticism (and bandwagon fans). I'm just hoping this year he can prove all the critics wrong.

He has the team to do it. He seems like a good coach. I am not sold on Wright though. He has a tough job with the players there. Non the less so does OSU well more so after they come out of college

Yea Wright has Kirby Freeman right on his ass and Freeman wants that job. I hear ya.

[FondestMemory]

Definitely. He's one of my favorite coaches out there.

mine too. i was so fucking stoked when he got the osu job. he deserved it.

[bigmike]

Got Tressel?

WE DO!
Nope. And who needs him when you've got John L. Smith who can't get his fucking coaches on the same page to run out the fucking field goal unit in enough time so they don't rush the kick and get it blocked going into halftime to give away all momentum that was on your side, while playing at OSU.

Or, when he does such a great job of keeping his team ready so we can start 4-0 and finish under .500 after having 3 shots to win 1 game to become bowl eligible. what a waste of a coach. god i wish we had bobby williams still.

What happens when a highly touted college football phenom decides to shit away his career by going on random crime sprees? Career options are limited when you are forcefully restrained after a car chase in which four loaded weapons and a bottle of vodka were found in your SUV.

Four motherfucking loaded weapons!

You know you are one crazy son of a bitch when you have more guns on you than hands to hold them. Maybe Clarett was on his way to pick up O.J., Alonzo Spellman, and Rae Carruth to go and wreck some shit.

It is an obvious fact that Maurice will probably be spending some time behind bars after this latest incident. So, what is his next logical move for some quick cash before sentencing?

A hip-hop album, of course.

Here are some track previews from Mo Clarett’s debut album… “Entering the Draft as a Junior Might Not Have Been a Bad Idea.”

Track 7: Gonna Get My Grey Goose On

Mo dropped some science on us with this gangsta anthem. The title comes from a direct quote that Maurice used in the midst of his strength conditioning work-outs with the Denver Broncos. I did not make this following story up. Known for his excellent career choices, Maurice decided that an NFL try-out was the perfect time to proclaim a need for a shot of top-shelf vodka. When the Broncos strength coach inexplicably jumped on his case about Mo’s unquenchable thirst for hard liquor, Maurice demanded that the Broncos make a choice. Either trade him or fire the strength coach. This was, at the very least, an odd demand, being that Clarett had not yet signed a contract with the Broncos. Between behavior like this, and the fact that a semi-retarded eight-year-old edged him out in the forty, the Broncos felt he wasn’t a great fit. They cut him soon after. Slow, alcoholic running backs with criminal records and mental problems usually work better in a different offensive scheme.

Track 11: Fuck Spike Strips

This jam takes an in-depth look at “the man’s” persecution of Maurice. If you take a step back and look at his recent arrest from a different perspective, a new scenario will unravel. Look past the fact that he was carrying a barrage of loaded weapons, that one of the weapons was an assault rifle, that he was wearing a bullet-proof vest, that he had a half bottle of Gray Goose in his SUV, that he eluded cops on a four-mile chase that ended when spike-strips busted his wheels, that he violently resisted arrest and required being pepper-sprayed, and the fact that he was already facing robbery charges. Look past all of that garbage, and what do we have? We have a man in the wrong place at the wrong time. People act like they haven’t made 38 consecutive massively horrible life decisions in a row. Damn you, Johnny Law. Fuck you and your spike strips.

Track 15: Remember that Time When I Stripped the Ball Back Away from Sean Taylor After He Intercepted a Pass Near the Endzone in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl?

Maurice kicks it old school with a gleaming memory from his glory days. The blazing bass line makes up for a lack of lyrical content in this remarkable ballad. The song consists of Maurice repeating the title over and over, occasionally throwing in a “Remember that shit?” or “It was awesome, wasn’t it?” Sure, Maurice would probably just use an assault rifle to bring down opposing players these days. You don’t need to be fast when you carry four loaded weapons and drink your face off. You still had to love it when Maurice took things away from people the old fashioned way.
