There's no bottom at the bottom there
My sports fanatic mother emailed to inform me that former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett was on indicted charges of robbing two people behind a bar and carrying a concealed weapon. The 22 year old who once led Ohio State to a National Title in 2002 has now irretrievably blown his chances of a Heisman trophy, a professional career and earning millions of dollars. If convicted of the two most serious armed robbery charges, he would face up to 26 years in prison.
He turned himself in two days after the incident, apparently after watching OSU beat Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl. Had Clarett stayed with the Buckeyes and kept out of trouble, he would have been a Senior and playing in that game. Or, considering that he rushed for 1,237 yards and scored 16 touchdowns as an Ohio State freshman in 2002, that game might have been a second or third national title game.
Just pathetic - from his lame attempts to sue his way into the NFL draft, to his run-ins with the law, to this. Clarett had the potential to be a superstar. But all he managed was second rate thuggery.

It just occurred to me that,
It just occurred to me that, if he REALLY tries, Clarett just might achieve his goal, which appears to equal the stupid fuckwittedness of Art Schleichter.
He's almost there, it would seem.
