Investigating a company that is scamming people? Yes. You're just upset that he mentioned the players who appeared at the seminar. He never accuses them of any wrongdoing but talks about how the company uses well known athletes and celebrities to draw people in. It's Life Surge he is investigating, not the players. Torre is a legit investigative journalist.

And legitimate journalists use underhanded tactics.

1) This is twitter. 99.99% of people will not read this.

2) Read this sentence and tell me whether it implies Urban is the scam artist:

Three Ohio State football players, Urban Meyer and Kirk Herbstreit (and his dog) headlined a Life Surge event in Columbus:"I was stunned that it really wasn't a bigger story... These guys are literally funneling well-intentioned, financially illiterate Christians into a meat

You shouldn't need to re-read other things it to realize what's actually being said. But that was his intention, because he knew:

- Trolling OSU
- attaching it to these characters the face of CFB in Kirk, the 2nd best coach of the previous 20 years and a highly controversial dog

would generate massive ratings:

Interestingly, Pablo didn’t (nor did DJ) explore the entire backstory on “The Walk Foundation” but probably isn’t as straightforward as scamming people and taking advantage of their credit.

Quoting DJ Byrnes is certainly a choice by Pablo.

There's an actual story here full of ugly details. It doesn't require idiotic tactics to get people to read about it (or maybe it does, which is sadder)

I’ll jump in to try to explain. Two things can be true.

1) He is THAT good.

And

2) He is not doing what the coaches have asked in order to earn the playing time and show his talent.

Coaches can’t stop him from being late or taking lazy practice reps or posting dumb social media things or any other off-field immaturity things he may have going on.*

*that is speculation and random examples. I have no insight - the kid isn’t breaking laws but Day has clearly challenged him to PRACTICE better.

I want the offense to find another spark. I’m rooting for him to get on the field bad. I think Bey is going to be special (here or elsewhere)…but there’s a team culture and expectation of earning things the hard way. That hasn’t happened.

Detroit sucks. I mean, look what state they're in so of course they do.

Actually ended up in a three-way tie for tenth and earned $163,500. He’ll be playing everything as he tries to get enough fall Fed Ex points to keep his card for 2027. Moved up from 135 to 122 in the Fed Ex Standings, which gets him to provisional status. Top 100 is the target for a full card.

Our defense took a step forward yesterday, especially with the front seven. Much more aggressive play and pressure throughout the game. And this was by multiple players. Holding Iowa to 39 yds rushing was impressive and hopefully will be a trend going into the future.

Truly seems different with OSU.

Players and ex teammates genuinely freak out when they see each other after transfers or in the NFL.

Better week but effort from some of our guys on some of those plays bordered on superhuman to get those results. It all works better when the Oline plays angry doesn't it?

Build and be even better in two weeks and we'll see.

Google AI: Stating true facts about your own achievements is not bragging if you have actually done the work to prove it.
Origins of the Phrase

• • Dizzy Dean: The famous baseball pitcher said, "If you can do it, it ain't bragging," before the 1934 season.
  • Muhammad Ali: The legendary boxer popularized the phrase, often phrased as "It's not bragging if you can back it up".
  • Other Legends: Similar versions are credited to Babe Ruth, Yogi Berra, and Reggie Jackson.

Just sayin': Yeah, he's the best player in college football; and (so far) this season with the stats he has put up, he should be the Heisman frontrunner. However, do you think he's over doing it in hyping himself?.....

Jeremiah Smith Declares He's The 'Best Player' In College Football​

"You've just got to [let] the Heisman voters or whoever it is know that I'm the best player in the country," Smith said, via Adam Rittenberg of ESPN. "I've got to be there."

That's why AI sucks ass, it's missing the best iteration of that saying:

"They say I'm cocky, and I say what?
It ain't bragging motherfucker, if ya back it up!" - Kid Rock (Cocky)

I don’t wanna knock the kid…

Absurd tOSU rolls into any season with the situations we have at kicker and punter though. It’s actually comical.

They're destined to win this year. They just do all the little things right. It's annoying but impressive when it's not the Reds on the receiving end.

He picked up that blitz to perfection. We hit a big play down to the red zone. Then he got rewarded with the next 3 carries and that touchdown.

That is how you get more playing time and I hope they show this series over and over again until everybody freaking gets it!

So I did some light research, curiosity got the best of me. I compiled OSU's final pre-bowl/playoff AP Poll ranking from each completed season from 1968 up to 2025 (stopped going backwards at 68 cause the AP only did a top ten before that). Also noted if they wouldn't have qualified for a theoretical playoff (DNQ). Now I know AP rankings may not be a complete 1 to 1 for how the playoff selection protocol would shake out, but it's pretty insane to see the results regardless.

68: #1
69: #4

70: #2
71: NR DNQ
72: #3
73: #4
74: #3
75: #1
76: #11
77: #9
78: #20
79: #1

80: #11
81: #15
82: #17
83: #14
84: #6
85: #17
86: #11
87: NR DNQ
88: NR DNQ

I'd love to be on the receiving end of that call.

Just sayin': Jerimiah Smith and Julian Sayin had "career games"; and Luke Montgomery was the "offensive player of the week". I'm anxious to see what Montgomery's PFF score was for the game.

I just popped in here to say I noticed Luke had a hell of a game as I watched the replay. I rarely notice OL other than on occasion, but he was kicking ass out there. Jakoby was earning some tough YAC but Luke was really his best friend yesterday. Really impressive performance and much needed in that game.

I don’t even know what to make of that stat. It’s like it’s a completely different team in those last 2 minutes. They can look uninspired and disinterested for the first 28 minutes and then suddenly flip a switch.

Click to expand...

When they use tempo they're basically unstoppable. Some have screamed to use it more to no avail but if you go back to the games we struggled with some actually losing, the up tempo was working or not utilized at all.

I get is a longer season now and we wanted to run fewer plays to keep his fresh but you can also accomplish this by using tempo, getting a larger lead, subbing earlier and still winning the damn game. I digress
