    Myron Rolle is everything that is right about college football. So is Tim Tebow, so is the Alabama quarterback.

    I know it's not a crime to be boring, but if it was, Duncan would have walked the Green Mile years ago. :D

    You need to spend less time looking at Anthony's Weiner, and more time watching football.

    Matt Jones was faster than Pryor (granted ... the coke probably helped).

    Pryor scratched Penn State off of his list before Ohio State, Michigan and Oregon. There was no way on fucking Earth Pryor was going to Penn State. Ever. Never ever. The offense wasn't even remotely close to showcasing his abilities and he knew it. Only Penn State people think he ever considered Penn State. Kinda' like the fucking goofy Pitt people I know who thought he was going there to star in basketball and football.

    Ironic then that the OSU offense never showcased his abilities to the fullest.

    I've seen JoePa air it out way more than I ever saw from Tressel.

    That's a misnomer about Tressel. Take a look at what Ohio State did on offense in Troy Smith's final two seasons. There is a reason the Buckeyes didn't "air it out" as much with Pryor. He just isn't that great a passer.

    And according to SportsbyBrooks, Pryor was seen driving around town today in that Nissan, on his suspended license. That's three days in a row he's been caught driving and he's not supposed to have his license back until August. Obviously not an NCAA violation, but come on man! Everyone is tailing you. Quit driving.

    Without a doubt, he has the speed and talent to play in the NFL, but I just don't see it at QB. I do see him as an H-back, though that could throw 2-5 passes a game.

    Now what I could see is Carolina or Philly taking him in the supplemental draft and running a set where he sidecars Vick or Newton. That would be a nightmare to defend.

    Pryor will be lucky to hang on an NFL roster for more than a season or two. If that.

    Like I said, he knew for weeks he was going to Ohio State. When he made the delay I knew it wouldn't be to consider Penn State more. He did it more out of respect to his father, who loved Penn State and felt his son hadn't given them a fair shot. But he wasn't going to Michigan or Oregon either. Penn State was the second choice (and a distant one at that) because Pryor's father bonded with Tom Bradley, who recruited Pryor since eighth grade. He made a connection with Paterno, who is a spokesman for the disease (Charcot Marie-Tooth Disease) that Pryor's dad has. He knew Penn State would also push academics just as much as football. Still, I knew he never was going to Penn State. But to say that he wasn't going there because they weren't going to showcase his talents? Come on. Michael Robinson AND Daryll Clark won Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year honors thriving in an offense Pryor could have run in his sleep.

    He ran a 4.33 without warming up in sweats at spring camp. And he does not lose much speed when he puts the pads on. Yes, he is faster than Denard Robinson and Michael Vick...they might be quicker then Pryor but they are not faster. Chris Johnson I have never seen live up close.
