TERRELLE PRYOR, NO LICENSE, 8 CARS, NO INSURANCE, NO LICENSE, NO PROBLEM
I said yesterday, the bad news coming from Ohio State will come quickly & I expected it to be plentiful. WTNS Channel 10 News in Columbus was the bearer of today's ugly headlines.Their report brought into question Terrelle Pryor's Bureau of Motor Vehicles(BMV) records, which was very interesting. He is currently driving on a suspended license. it was suspended because he was caught driving without insurance. According to the BMV, he hasn't presented proof of insurance, so his operator's license continues to be suspended. After Jim Tressel's resignation yesterday, there was a players-only meeting at the football training facility. Pryor arrived in a 2007 Nissan 350ZX with about two-grand in new wheels & tires & temporary plates. This marks the 8th car he has been seen driving in his 34-months on the Columbus campus. BMV records show only one car actually registered to Pryor during this time, a 2006 Dodge Charger. He's on his third car since the end of the season, the others being a 2009 Dodge Challenger & a 2008 GMC Denali, both cars sported dealer plates. Tho Pryor never bought a car from AutoDirect's Aaron Kniffin, he somehow drives a lot of the dealerships' cars. Driving another car not currently registered to him without insurance & license makes me think Mr. Pryor won't be playing for the Buckeyes in 2011 or ever again for that matter. It seems arrogant to drive yet another new car when you know you're currently under investigation by the NCAA & Ohio State. Those investigations are centered on his catalog of vehicles, but Pryor strikes me as the epitome of entitlement & arrogance, he doesn't have to live by our rules. NFL teams will have to think very long & hard before drafting this kid, he could make Ryan Leaf & JaMarcus Russell resemble all-pros.

In other Ohio State news, all of it bad, the tattoo artists spilling their guts to Sports Illustrated & NCAA investigators said the players, some 22 in all, traded memorabilia & autographs for tats, cash & marijuana. Reefer? No way, I'm shocked. The parlors' owner now resides in state prison after pleading guilty to possession of 200-pounds of pot. Is anyone surprised players got in on that? His tattoo biz was in the heart of Columbus' worst neighborhood. To be fair, his attorney said his client did not trade pot to Ohio State players. No way a convicted drug dealer would lie right? The fact Ohio State players were driving across town to hang out in this place should have raised red flags within the athletic department long ago.
A very sad announcement today out of Lawrence Kansas, Jayhawk defensive coordinator & linebackers' coach, Carl Torbush, will retire from coaching & college football. He has prostate cancer & will need extensive time to fight it. The 59-year old former North Carolina head coach was in his second year with KU. I wish him the very best in his fight against cancer.
Nebraska made it official today announcing quarterback Cody Green requested a release from the Cornhusker program so he could transfer to another Division I school. The school granted his request. Green's departure could leave Bo Pelini's Huskers pretty thin at QB. With the graduation of Zac Lee & Green's departure, that leaves sophomore Taylor Martinez as the only quarterback to take a snap in a game. Martinez was sidelined several times last season with injuries including the Big-12 Championship game. Green has been linked to numerous Div. I programs including Kansas State, Texas A&M & Boise State.
Does anybody remember who ran against DeMaurice Smith for the presidency of the NFLPA? Former all-pro cornerback Troy Vincent campaigned on making a deal in 2010. Wonder where we'd be right now if he won instead of Smith? Vincent is currently employed by the NFL as a charities director.
