maurice clarett and his mamma

ok, so the supreme court denied a request from maurice clarett, and presumedly from his mamma as well.....to allow him to participate in the nfl draft this weekend.............gentle readers who may not be OSU fans.....maurice clarett led the OSU BUCKEYES to their recent national championship...as a freshman....and then his career when down the tubes from there...........he and his mamma were involved in some sort of financial scandal...which got him kicked out of osu because such things are verboten with the ncaa.................he then started into litigation with the nfl with regards to the draft 'early'.............like 2 years early................this fellow is a tad older than acw............who is a true sophomore in college as opposed to someone who may not actually know the way to class on OSU's campus...........no matter what they say.........OSU football players do not attend class.............I was in a psychology class with Archie Griffin's younger brother...and he never showed up..............I would bet the farm that he got a passing grade..........anyway, back to maurice clarett..............who was 'lent' money by a football booster....and the money was spent by his mamma on who know's what......one oculd argue that OSU corrupted him, with promises of riches despite the ncaa rules............but it looks like he and his mamma got greedy, and now they may have lost all that they counted on........................ha! so many young black athletes have this fantasy that they will strike it rich in the pros....and so they neglect their lessons......and go downhill from there..........i saw about 6 of dhs's finest football players walking to school yesterday, after dropping off scw..........not one had a backpack...which means not one found the time to do any homework...........or felt inclined to read the lessons.............ironic, as scw had a backpack filled to the point that his french ap novel and the accompanying french dictionary were in hand because there was no other room in the zippered compartments..............so I say...too bad, maurice clarett..................you blew it....the scholarship...the classes you likely did not attend.....the team you thought were too good to play with......and now you are lucky to find a job in columbus saying............'do you want fries with that?'...................
