Indoor football: QB mayhem costs Wisconsin in loss
By JIM POLZIN

The quarterbacks playing Saturday night at the Dane County Coliseum were polar opposites based on experience.

On one side, there was Stanley Jackson, who played his college ball at Ohio State and has spent more than a decade playing professional football.

Jackson, who had a cup of coffee with the Seattle Seahawks before playing seven years in the Canadian Football League, was 20-for-29 for 249 yards on the night.

?Our line has played extremely well and we?re so deep at receiver,? Jackson said. ?All I?ve got to do really is not get sacked and put the ball in the right place.?

Jackson did just that most of the time. Still nimble at the age of 34, he also used his feet to escape pressure and create more time for his receivers to get open

Said Wolfpack coach Jordan Kopac: ?He?s been around so long that everything slows down for him.?

BUCYRUS -- For Stanley Jackson, growing up in Patterson, N.J., meant one thing: You voted Democrat.

"If you know anything about New Jersey, you know that it is a Democratic state," Jackson said.

"My dad voted Democrat. If you asked him who he was voting for in the election, he would respond 'whose the Democrat running?' "

But Jackson, who had an African-American father and a Hispanic mother, grew more conservative as he got older.

"I realized that I grew up with conservative values," Jackson said. "When I tell people now that I'm a Republican, they usually fall down."

The former Ohio State quarterback spoke Thursday night at the second monthly meeting of the newly-formed Harding Area Young Republicans at Baker's Pizza and Sport Shack.

Local Republicans hosted a celebration of service this past weekend at the Cafe on Main Street at 28 North Main Street in Mansfield.

Former Ohio State University quarterback Stanley Jackson was a special guest at the event. Jackson, who starred for the Buckeyes in the late 1990's and also played professional football in the NFL and Canadian League, said he was on hand to share his vision for the state and the country and celebrate things with people who are like-minded.

Jackson said he believes the core of a great community is the family. He said family values are very important and feels its something that's been lost in America, especially in the black community and it's something this country needs to get back to.

He looks pretty good and it sounds like he is making a success of his life.

I must admit that I always feel uncomfortable when some guy starts talking about family values and wanting to have a conversation with like-minded people. I'm like-minded, but avoid politicians who talk about family values like the H1N1. They seem to have this odd way of violating them pretty quickly and in a very public way.

I would have invited Joe Germaine instead. Or at least had Joe come in for a couple one-liners.

Stanley Jackson plans to buy the local TV station GTN and overhaul its lineup to black-oriented programming.

After a career directing teams on the gridiron, Stanley Jackson is hoping to lead a group of investors into the world of broadcasting.

Jackson, once a quarterback for Ohio State University and several Canadian Football League teams, left football three years ago for the business world. Now the 34-year-old is organizing a group to buy television station GTN from Columbus-based Guardian Enterprise Group Inc.

?We?re creating a new market for local content,? said Jackson, CEO of Black America Media Inc. ?We?ll be the only minority-owned station in the region.?

Where are they now? Stanley Jackson
Tuesday, October 12, 2010
BY KEITH IDEC

STAFF WRITER

Stanley Jackson always dreamed big.

When he was growing up in Paterson, Jackson envisioned a long, lucrative career as an NFL quarterback. He instead spent seven seasons as a CFL quarterback and played another four seasons as a quarterback/co-owner for a Continental Indoor Football League in Marion, Ohio, an hour north of where he played for Ohio State in the mid-1990s.

Jackson learned some invaluable lessons from the mistakes the former Paterson Catholic star believes cost him an NFL career. Applying those lessons has made him confident that the massive television project he is championing in Columbus cannot fail.

As president of Black American Media, Jackson has done everything from developing marketing strategies to securing investors for a regional television station that?ll officially launch in Columbus next month. Jackson?s ambitious plan is to penetrate 25 percent of American markets within five years with family-oriented programming geared toward, yet not exclusive to, black families.

"Sometimes people would say I?m too much of a dreamer," Jackson, 35, said. "I have very lofty goals. There?s no difference with this. I hope to be a national network at some point. It?s been done before. No one knew about FOX before they got going [in the mid-1980s], so why can?t we do it?

"You have to dream big, you have to work hard to go after it and, at the end of the day, I think if we fail and don?t accomplish anything, then I won?t be disappointed because I gave it my best effort. But if you just sit on your dreams, you?ll never have the opportunity to succeed and you?ll have a lot of regrets."

Jackson has many regrets regarding his professional football career.

The Seahawks signed him as an undrafted free agent in 1997, following his lone season as the Buckeyes? starting quarterback.

They moved him to receiver, however, and Jackson was certain he could play quarterback in the NFL. He was a lot less sure he was athletic enough to play receiver, running back or free safety at that level, so he ignored interest from Arizona and Kansas City after Seattle waived him.

After three solid seasons in the CFL, Jackson suffered a major knee injury, just as he began receiving indications he would at least earn an invitation to an NFL camp as a quarterback. By the time he was healthy and regained his confidence to stand tall in the pocket again, it was too late to take another run at the NFL.

He played for CFL franchises in Montreal, Toronto and Winnipeg prior to purchasing part of the CIFL?s Marion Mayhem, along with three partners. Business was good in a 3,500-seat arena for three seasons, but the economy caused the team to cease operations in 2009.

Jackson learned a lot about business as a player-owner, but he hasn?t limited himself to trying to become a media mogul. He also serves as an analyst on WTVN-AM?s pregame and postgame shows before and after Ohio State games and hosts a weekly Ohio State football show on his television station, "Buckeye Breakdown."

Multiple jobs keep Jackson plenty busy, but being his own boss enables him the flexibility to spend quality time with his wife, Ronita, and their three boys ? Stanley Jr., 6; Ronald, 4; and Tre? Major, 1.
