I'm watching the 30 for 30 on The U (Miami).  What the hell  is wrong with Bernie Kosar, is he drunk or have some kind of brain damage?

You play behind that criminal offensive line Belichick forced on him for a few years, you'd be a little punch drunk too.

Usually it is the offensive linemen who are the ones getting the better degrees, I think.

They also usually tend to score higher than other positions in the NFL on the Wonderlic test, IIRC.

My kid seems to keep wanting me to buy him Buckeye stuff.  I acquiesced yesterday & bought him a t-shirt.  I may get him a jersey if I can think of something to use it as an incentive for.

I'm neutral on Ohio State, but I wouldn't mind if he ended up going there.  Plus I respect the tradition, which is why I let him wear that Archie Griffin jersey when he was 2.

I assume he finds Brutus groovy. That mascot tends to suck 'em in early.

That, plus the fact that I told him early-on that he's a native-born Buckeye and now he thinks that everything "Buckeye" is automatically the best.

You failed to mention it was Archie's Bengals jersey.  :ph34r:

:lol:  I've never looked, but I'm guessing that would be a tough throw-back jersey to find anywhere.

Which it is. :yes:

Make sure you feed him buckeye candy in the fall. RESPECT THE TRADITION.

Future NCAA player news:

They've decided it would be a good idea to televise my old high schools first game vs. their big rivals.  They've got a splash screen, sponsor, facebook page, and all that shit. 



:rolleyes:  Lame.  They should change the name.  It has only been going on for 30 years, so no biggie.
