nbc ^ | 01/01/06

Posted on 01/01/2006 7:25:33 AM PST by IndyTiger

Former Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett is wanted on two counts of aggravated robbery following an incident that took place early Sunday, police said.

According to a report issued by the Columbus Division of Police, Maurice E. Clarett approached two people who were standing in an alley at the rear of the Opium Lounge, located at 346 South High St.

Police allege that Clarett, 22, demanded property from a 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman "with a handgun in his presence then got into a white SUV with two other unknown suspects and sped away."

Neither victim was hurt, police said.

no REAL friends who could tell them to STOP!

It is not that easy. I have a former friend who I used to tell over and over she needs to change (get a job, stop being a liberal, take responsibility, lose the anger, etc.). Now we rarely talk.

Further, I tell a lot of people they are fat and need to exercise and lose weight. It does not work.

I'm happily surprised nothing bad has happened to Lebron James yet.

Implicit in my statement "who could tell them to stop" is an understanding that the instruction would be ACCEPTED.

I should have made it more clear.

That in a nutshell is why I despise college athletics. They don't teach students a blessed thing about making it in the real world. All they do is feed the little darlings' delusions of turning pro, when what, maybe half of 1% of college athletes actually do so.

When I taught at the University of Houston, I caught nine rations of by-God for not giving athletes "excused" absences when they decided to skip class for extra practice, or when they had an away game.

And I wasn't just singling out the athletes. I treated all extracurricular activities the same . . . as less important than my class, which (for those who paid attention) actually taught them something.

I was in brothers and bobby carpenter was there too (pre injury). He would talk to anyone, posed for pictures. Seemed like a down to earth, regular guy. This won't happen to him.

read post 17 and click the link.

It is pretty representative of college athletics. I think most people benefit from being in athletics. College Basketball may be the exception.

For every clarett, there is a Krenzel, straight A microbiology major, QB and teammate of clarett, and now back up QB for the Cleveland Browns.

And what did the NCAA do to Ohio State because they won a national championship with a player who everyone knows was taking money and stuff totally in violation of NCAA rules? Nothing, some programs can do anything they want, others get punished.

Read the final report....the only thing they found out to be true was Clarett was a lying douchebag and OSU ended up being duped by his lack or personal responsibility.

OSU has their faults but one of them isnt what you and other hate-OSU-at-all-costs believe.

All correct except he is 3rd string for the Bengals.

Practically the entire OSU lineup looks like a collection of bums or thugs!

Pathetic smack need not apply. There is a large majority on all collegiate teams that are quietly great men with brains and aspirations that will be an positive addition to our society.

The ESPN boards with the trash talk are this way.

This was true decades ago.

Unfortunately today, both college and pro teams are larded with what appears to be the dregs of society. When reading the sports pages one would think they were reading a police blotter.

These "players" today are hardly role models for young men. They are tattooed, pierced and possessing a low IQ.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm always bewildered by misplaced hatred toward Ohio State.

Go Bucks!

Do you think that just because a few of them end up in trouble and they are usually black, then all of the blacks that make up college athletics must be dregs...especially with those tattoos? Lord have mercy, tattoos!!!!

Media focuses on 3 or 4 people and you build some neaderthal impression that all college programs are brimming with Bone Thugs N' Harmony.

Unlike you, I dont allow media to paint collegiate athletes with one huge brush. I believe many that come from bad pasts can be made into positive members of society with or without tattoos and an earing. Clarett being a small minority who couldnt be helped.

"Stow it. Ohio State was the best thing that ever happened to to this bum. All he had to do was play one more year of football, get his Heisman, be a first round draft choice for the NFL, sign for maybe twenty million dollars, and enjoy the next fifty years of luxury and fame."

I don't think there was ever much hope for Maurice Clarrett. He does not have basic life skills of personal responsibility and a modest work ethic. Even if he stayed another year and earned millions as a draft pick, he has the type of character that would squander that wealth away on bling bling very very quickly, and he lacks the work ethic to stay long in the NFL. The worst aspects of Ricky Williams and Lawrence Phillips.

At this point, the best thing that Maurice Clarret has offered the cosmos as a whole is a negative example of how *not* to act. That's sad.
