RB Roderick Smith (Official Thread)

The Panthers become the fifth NFL team Smith has played for in his seven-year career. Going undrafted out of college, Smith played for both the Dallas Cowboys and the Seattle Seahawks during his rookie season, but didn't find a consistent role on a team until his third season in the league with the Cowboys.

Between the 2017 and 2018 seasons, Smith had 99 carries for 359 yards and six touchdowns while also catching 28 passes for 162 yards and a touchdown.

Smith most recently played with the Las Vegas Raiders before he was cut ahead of the 2020 season, where he played only on special teams. He has not carried the ball in a regular-season NFL game since he was with the Dallas Cowboys in 2018.

Just sayin': So far he's been in the NFL for 5 seasons and made $2,530,346: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/rod-smith-17305/cash-earnings/

Not bad for a guy that didn't even start at Ohio State (i.e. only had 107 carries and 8 receptions over 4 years*) and considering the average NFL career for a RB is less than 3 years.

Bru McCoy (WR USC Trojans)

USC wide receiver Bru McCoy suspended from team activities following July arrest

Redshirt sophomore Bru McCoy was arrested on suspicion of a felony more than a week ago, USCFootball.com has learned. The wide receiver was charged with intimate partner violence with injury, according to an LAPD spokesperson. McCoy, 21, was released on $50,000 bail on July 24th, the same day of his arrest. He is scheduled to appear in court on November 24.

"USC does not condone violence of any kind," the athletic department said when contacted for a statement. "We are aware of the situation, and USC’s Office for Equity, Equal Opportunity, and Title IX is reviewing it. Because of federal student privacy laws, we are unable to share additional information at this time.

“The student-athlete has been temporarily removed from team activities.”

Sources familiar with police operations explained that in the case of a domestic violence call, officers are more likely to make an arrest and defer criminal charges to a district attorney. McCoy’s criminal charges are still pending, according to McCoy’s arrest filing. However, sources with knowledge of McCoy’s situation have suggested it is unlikely McCoy will see the field in 2021 due to the serious nature of the allegations.

NCAA punishes USC - Reggie Bush, OJ Mayo, Dwayne Jarrett, Joe McKnight investigation

Upon a brief review of the case, the guy who gave Bush almost $300k in benefits cooperated with the NCAA in the investigation—I’d be really curious to see some additional details on how it was a sham when the guy with the receipts ratted him out.

Also, isn’t him bringing this up now under the guise of revisiting the new NIL rules admitting he was paid?

So which is it? Was it a sham investigation? Or should you get your award back because it’s okay for college athletes to be paid now?

In summation, fuck off with this shit, Reggie.
