Around SBN: Steve McNair Found Shot to Death


OT: Terrelle Pryor

Okay, not exactly baseball related, but at least sports related.

I bring it up because it seems to be a lot like the Bedard situation where it just will not end and you have no idea of whats going on from day to day.

As an Oregon fan, I 'm just ready for this to be over.  I'm firmly on the Darron Thomas bandwagon for QB, and am more excited about Pryor's potential contributions on the b-ball court than on the gridiron (Thomas is by far the superior passer).  I don't really think he's much better than Thomas or Harper, Oregon fans seem to just be freaked because of his #1 ranking.

I put it up here to see if any college football fans have any comment.  I guess I just find it ironic that two of my three favorite teams are going through almost the exact same situation.  In the cases of both Bedard and Pryor, just end it already.

BTW, even though I am an Oregon fan, Pryor is dumb if he doesn't go to Michigan.  He starts there tomorrow.  At Oregon, I honestly don't think he beats out Thomas.

Pryor's not coming
end of story.

You're right though - Michigan seems like the obvious choice, especially given that he is a talented athlete and Michigan is going to run the spread with Rodriguez.

From the sounds of it, Ohio State is the team to beat however.

This almost seems like the Hairston situation four years ago when Oregon stole him at the last second by whisking him out to Eugene on a private jet. Oh to be a fan of Nike U... at least you guys can never complain about donor support! =)

I am a recruiting writer
So I make a living off of this stuff - and he is pissing me off.  I do not like it when things like this drag on past signing day.  

That being said, I don't want to see him at Oregon because 1) I went to ASU and don't want to deal with another mobile quarterback like Dixon and 2) He will become a star at Michigan.  

He doesn't seem like a primadonna and seems to be very savvy when it comes to the media.  I guess there are a lot of parallels to the Bedard situation - it will end when it ends.

You're so right...
but I'm a duck fan. I've come to love the dual threats.

But I've also come to realize they'll always let us down, they're built to tear an ACL.

as for dual threats
we've already got Darron Thomas and Chris Harper.  Sorry.

I hate to advocate drugs, alcohol, violence, or insanity to anyone, but they've always worked for me.

I was wrong before
the Mastercard thing is the deadest of memes.

It's been dead for years
and yet it still flops around like a fish gasping for its last breath.  Somebody please - stop clubbing that baby harp seal and put this meme out of its misery.

To borrow from Demetri Martin:
A lot of people don't like (the guy who brings the Mastercard-themed sign to a sports game). I don't mind (the guy who brings the Mastercard-themed sign to a sports game). To me (the Mastercard-themed sign at a sports game) is a shortcut. It's like a little sign that says 'Hey, let's never hang out.'

I like it.
speaking of memes, how are we to police this whole thing?  Do we just mock people that use dead memes, or is there some sort of penalty we can impose?  I've said it before, LL needs a kangaroo court.

Maybe do like the Rays are doing with their FO - every time a front office employee uses the word "Devil" when talking about the team, they throw a dollar in a jar and at the end of the season they're giving the proceeds to charity.  Maybe every time someone uses a dead meme they could paypal you a dollar and once a month we could donate that to some charity or something.

Or maybe I'm thinking about this too much.

I say we go with the mocking
and if that doesn't work, then we can entertain the idea of something more severe.

Works for me.

It's only fair
people need to know the standard against which they're being judged before they get torn to shreds.

Pryor
Kind of funny to see this on here.

I'm a Penn State alum, so I'm sure I'll be told I'm biased here. But, I follow this stuff pretty closely and what I'm hearing is that right now Ohio State is the leader and Penn State is #2 and gaining a ton of ground. Him delaying his decision favored Penn State more than anyone. Michigan wasn't in at until they hired Rodriguez, and they seem to make a lot of sense, but they are slipping right now. Oregon is pretty unlikely because of his family situation and him not wanting to be so far from home. Personally, I still think he ends up at Ohio State. But, don't believe all these people who are saying it's down to OSU and Michigan, because it's not true.
