It's not on ESPiN. So it can't be that big of a deal...

Not really directing this at you because you aren't the only one, but at some point it might be good to move along from the "Where is this report on ESPN?". Seems like everyone on this board feels that they are an extremely poor outlet for news so continually suggesting that they've missed the boat on this stuff just doesn't seem newsworthy anymore either.

This story will never materialize. Ever.

Yeah, my post was entirely for the comedic value. When you have a network comprised entirely of ex-athletes, wannabe athletes or "personalities", you can't really expect a whole lot of "journalism"...

You are right, and I'm not sure that ESPN, for the most part, even denies this. With few exceptions, they aren't journalists, they are talking heads. They don't provide news, they merely comment on news being made.

On August 28th, 2011 Alabama running back Trent Richardson was pulled over for speeding in Chilton County, Alabama. The Crimson Tide star was going 85 in a 70 and the officer noted that he blamed the "large rims" on his vehicle for the speeding violation. What was the vehicle? A 2011 GMC Yukon which retails for in the neighborhood of $40,000 even without the added expense of new rims. Raise your hand if it makes sense that an "unemployed" athlete at Alabama with two children, no job, and a non-wealthy family could afford a brand new SUV. Put your hands down Alabama fans. Trent Richardson could be flying in his own private jet and you'd talk about how it's perfectly reasonable for him to avoid traffic this way.

For the rest of us Richardson driving a brand new SUV raises an awful lot of questions.

Especially when you consider that most of his money was already going to suit payments.

but... but.... but... Thad Gibson got a deal on a used Chrystler!!! Terrelle Pryor was spotted driving a new Aston Martin!

Nah. It was Willie Williams that crashed a $50,000 Escalade on his way to the Peach Bowl a few years ago. Oddly, there was no NCAA investigation or ESPN expose on that either.

Seriously.

If I hadn't clicked on this I never would have known that it happened.

Not that I care anymore. Just another example of the witch hunt that espin is on with regard to Ohio State.

Fuck them. Just win.

Agreed. This story is going nowhere, because the powers that be don't want it to.

or because it was discovered by SportsByBrooks...so if you believe this story then you have to believe every story he did on tOSU...its only fair

5. You and Sports By Brooks are gay.
This is my favorite response any time I write anything negative about Alabama. Crimson Tide fans accuse me and Sports By Brooks of being gay. And not just a few. Somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% of Alabama fan responses accuse us of being gay. Usually they write it this way: "Your gay."
Aside from the second grade nature of the insult and the clear presumption that gay people are always lying, let's play this defense out to it's logical extension: aren't Bama fans really arguing that gay people are obsessed with NCAA violations in college athletics?
So if you walk up to a New York bar, a great opening line for gay men is, "Can you believe the new revisions to NCAA bylaw 16?"
Go to a gay man's apartment and there's a 100% chance the NCAA rulebook is open on the coffee table. Don't believe me? DVR old episodes of "Will and Grace." See it, there's the manual!

I just wet my pants! That is funny! Now I know why those guys at the Asylum were hitting on me. I just that they had an eye for handsome straight men...Sigh

I like to go with the old saying " a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while" ... So I will selective believe stories about the SEC from SportsbyDumbass but for OSU he's obviously a blind squirrel who's gonna starve to death (natural selection is a bitch sometimes)

BS. You can choose to believe that Richardson got the speeding ticket driving that vehicle because they printed a copy of the Alabama case file. Link

And you can not believe their claims about checks being deposited into Pryor's bank account because no records (that I'm aware of) have ever been shown.

Sorry, but believing a story with pictures of documentation doesn't make me "have to believe" another story from the same source without documentation.
