Brain disorder = stoopid

I'm guessing he's been told his entire life, because he was good at sports, that he could get by with anything. I think those days are over. It's a shame too. If he had worked on his attitude and stayed in shape, some team would probably have offered him a chance to make the team but this guy has burned ALL his bridges now. The only league he'll be playing for now is the California Penal League.

One of my college professors had a cartoon on his office door. It said "No one is completely worthless. They can always serve as a bad example." I give you...Titus Young.

I get the feeling there's something else we don't know about. This kid obviously has talent yet he went undrafted. I would agree that Tyrann Matthieu has a worse history and he was drafted. I find it hard to believe that just failing three drug tests would lead you a player of this caliber not being drafted.

It doesn't appear as if he has had any trouble with the law so if he can clean up his act and not do what Justin Blackmon (Jags) did and he might have a future. If he thinks the Bills are bluffing, maybe he should go 'google' Titus Young and Cliff Harris.

The thing about those wins in Denver, he looked terrible for the first 3 1/2 quarters of the game then in the fourth quarter you'd have thought he was Elway. What doesn't get mentioned is the defense kept them in almost all of those games so they weren't 21 points down in the fourth quarter. Plus, it was either the Chiefs or Bears game (don't remember which) that they fumbled the ball TWICE in the last five minutes of the game when they had a chance to ice the game so they basically gave that game away to Denver. And the playoff win was a complete bonehead play by the Pittsburgh secondary. Personally, I don't think he's an NFL QB but he could definitely play H-back or something if he chose to. The problem I heard was that with all the attention and how long it would take him to learn a new position, NFL teams aren't willing to deal with it. If I had to say one way or the other I'd say his NFL career is over.

Unless he can do something shocking in the Arena League but I don't see him going that route.

I wonder if this wouldn't be a wise decision on his part. Sure, he'd be a backup but since it's such a passing league, this would give him some time to learn how to throw better. Let's face it, as a passer, he leaves a lot to be desired but with some time on a real team (not the Jets) he could possibly improve enough to get a shot again. I'd say his NFL career is over though. With all the publicity he brings (which can be good and bad) I think that makes teams leary of signing him after watching what happened with the Jets.

He may have already blown his opportunity though. He had a choice to sign with either the Jets or Jags. It's easy to say in hindsight but why wouldn't he have signed with the Jags? It was his hometown and their QB situation was as murky as the Jets. Now he doesn't even have that opportunity.

Yes. He played one season for Ohio State before becoming academically ineligible. Then he transferred to a JC (where the QB blasted him for being the laziest human ever). Then he transferred to Alabama and never saw the field because of academics. Then I think he went to FIU but wasn't granted a waiver to play immediately and not sit out a year.

It makes me wonder if they cut him because he couldn't read the playbook. If the guy has ZERO study habits, how is he ever going to learn an NFL playbook...in spite of how hard his daddy pushes his ability to be an NFL receiver. He probably has the talent but he's lazy, and not the sharpest tool in the shed.

It would have to be his third. For substance abuse offenses, you don't get suspended four games until your third positive. For PEDs, it's a second violation.

I wouldn't be surprised if they just decide he's too big of a knucklehead to even bother with.

First!

Anyone know what the vendetta thing was all about?

I'll be highly surprised if they don't get at least a one year bowl ban...and like everyone else here, I laughed when I heard they suggested the loss of ONE scholarship per year for three years. What a farce.

And yeah, now we know why Chip Kelly is in the NFL. Just like Pete Carroll, bolting the program with his tail between his legs with the NCAA breathing down his neck.

I think this is more of an indictment on the coaching staff to be honest. I'm no fan of the Jets or Sanchez so I could really care less, nor am a fan of Tebow. However, I think the whole Tebow fiasco was epic on both sides. They gave up a draft pick for him and agreed to pay back a bunch of money to the Broncos to take him off their hands and then they rarely use him and when they did use him, it was pretty obvious, even to a blind man, what they were going to do. Why bring a guy in when you are setting him up for failure?...just so you can lift up Sanchez's standing as their top QB? Tebow is partly to blame too because he could have gone to Jacksonville (his hometown--who wouldn't jump at that?) but that option is now closed for him. Tebow torpedo'd his own career by joining the Meadlowlands circus.

Still, most coaching staffs will modify their offense/defense to maximize their talent. It's the coaching staff's responsibility to put that person in the position to make plays. They didn't do that with Tebow, nor did they even try. It seemed like the only times they played Tebow was to make him look bad. Again, I could care less about Tebow, just trying to be objective. The coaching staff is solely responsible for the mess of last year and the ongoing vacuum at the QB position. How can you continue to play someone who turns the ball over as often as Ryan Leaf did (and as often as Ryan Leaf goes to jail). Why not give McElroy a chance or something. They should have tried something. Maybe McElroy isn't as good a QB as Sanchez but if Sanchez turns the ball over four times a game and McElroy only turns it over once a game, wouldn't that warrant playing McElroy. The entire situation with the Jets just leaves me scratching my head.

Or in prison.

This link is full of people who signed an incorrect scorecard then found out later they should have received a penalty for some infraction and subsequently, they did the honorable thing and withdrew from the tournament. I understand it's correct for Tiger to stay in the tournament but I don't think it's the honorable thing to do. I think he'd gain a lot more respect from people if he had in fact withdrawn. Instead of people questioning him, they would be applauding him for upholding golf's legacy of honorable play.

As someone mentioned earlier, it does seem there is a separate set of rules for him. It sounds like the committee knew of the infraction and decided that he didn't do anything wrong until after he admitted it and they could no longer ignore it. That was done for ONE simple motive--ratings. I always thought golf was an honorable sport with people openly admitting when they made mistakes and even DQ'ing themselves when they realized they made an error. I forget who it was but several years ago a player saw something after his round and reported that he had broken a rule and should have been assessed a penalty which meant he signed an incorrect scorecard. I guess that's good for everyone...except Tiger.

It's the SEC...they have their own set of rules.

I was thinking the same thing. If nothing else, the assistants are to blame for not making sure he knew about the foul situation. I'm no Michigan fan but I think the media gets too carried away sometimes.

One other thing. The players should have known they had to foul so why did they take so long. There were 50 seconds left to go in the game and they didn't foul until just under 30 seconds. Trey Burke didn't want to foul because he would have been done so somebody else should have realized that and fouled. Reminds me of the brain-lock at the end of the game by the Fab5 (Chris Webber calling a timeout at the end of the game when they didn't have one).

He 'graduated' from St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Ft. Lauderdale which, looking at their website, has a pretty good record for academics. Oh, and they also have a pretty good football team (like most private schools that can 'recruit' athletes). Not hard to figure out why he went there. Too bad. He probably had a lot of potential. He made some contributions at OSU as a freshman until his lack of effort in the classroom caught up to him. If he's lucky he won't have to take the Wonderlic test during this combine. He might be the first person ever with a negative score.

Can Chad Henne be a starting QB for the Jaguars. Yes.

What does that say about the Jaguars?

Personally, I think the coach should be fired along with the AD. If the Rutgers president knew anything about it, he should be gone too. None of them should get any severance of backroom deals either. Gone.

As far as the assistant that was let go, I was curious about that. Maybe he was saving that as some sort of insurance policy but if he was so upset about it, why not report it right away. He was let go in July of last year and he just announced he is suing the university. So why wouldn't he announce he was suing them after he was let go...or right after they announced his suspension. He only announced it after that video was made public. Sounds like he's counting on the court of public opinion to win his case.

If the guy was fired because he blew the whistle then Rutgers deserves to get sued. I'm just curious about the timing of the whole thing. Does anyone else find that strange?

He's never run a mile in his life and he thinks he can get in shape to do the Ironman in six months? Does he not realize that brutal event ends with running a marathon and that's after the 2.4m swim and 112k bike through some of the most unforgiving roads anywhere? I like Hines Ward but this may be a bit ambitious. Good luck to him though.

Yeah, but at least he was good to begin with. This kid has done NOTHING and he's talking about the NFL? Wow.
