1. Stay off my premise.

2. Drink beer, it makes this stuff less important (for a time).

3. Arguing amongst ourselves is what they want.

4. M*ch*g*n has yet to rise to the level of sucking.

Since I lost a finger in a tragic shocker accident, I can't count to 5 anymore...

I will give TP this... Cam Newton and TP are about on the same Level as far as their passing is concerned. Sure Cam is a better runner but lets be honest both have big time wheels but neither are going to make their living by running away from people.

Both threw for around 60% completion, both threw for around the same yardage, but Cam did have 4 less INT's.... Not enough of a difference between FIRST OVERALL to supplemental draft that's for sure. I've heard lots of "experts" say TP isn't ready to go to the NFL, and while I think he would've benefited from an extra year in college I think they're crazy if they think Cam Newton is anywhere near ready as a passer.

Heck Vince Young was better than both Cam and TP as a passer and could've benefited from a senior year in college. Now, he's not even starting.

TP's soon-to-be-ex-attorney issued a complete denial regarding TP getting money from Talbott and/or depositing any checks from him in any bank account. The 'unidentified former friend' on ESPN alleged the payments from Talbott, and I believe the story of the supposed checks being deposited by TP came from the SportsbyBrooks website, which isn't always reliable, so at this point the truth is anybody's guess.

Dispatch

One report alleged Pryor deposited several checks from Talbott while another alleged he received tens of thousands of dollars in cash from Talbott for autographing various memorabilia the past couple of years.

"I can tell you on the record that there were no checks from Dennis Talbott in any Terrelle Pryor bank account," James said. "And there was no money from Dennis Talbott to Terrelle Pryor."

,,,

Asked yesterday whether Pryor had been told he should plan to train elsewhere, Ohio State coach Luke Fickell said "(I) haven't talked to him."

Fickell, named the interim coach May 30 to replace Jim Tressel, who resigned under pressure in the wake of the ongoing NCAA investigation, will have his first formal news conference Monday.

As for Pryor, he also will have to start speaking for himself soon since James is a local attorney who does not fancy himself as a pro agent.

"At this point we are getting pretty close to finishing up what we needed to do for him, and then he probably is going to hire an agent to handle all of the upcoming stuff," James said.

It is odd how two seemingly inconsistent claims are being made so adamantly. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Ultimately, if this remains only unsupported allegation, the NCAA can't use it. But if the IRS investigates, there's no closet big or obscure enough to safely hold the skeletons. Assuming they exist, that is.

If the IRS investigates TP who is no longer under any jurisdiction of the NCAA its unlikely that they will share any info with the NCAA in my best estimation...unless they just put it out there in the public but if TP cooperates with them and pays them why would any of that be public? and what business of it is the NCAA who literally has no authority in the real world


If the info is already out there then game over but the atty denials are strong

The problem is if the IRS goes after Pryor it becomes public record if it goes through ANY court stuff? (Lawyers, can ya back me up, I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express)

Even if he settles, that is an admission of guilt and the NCAA wouldn't need to see the paperwork behind it to act.

Terrelle Pryor 'needs a ton of work' to be ready to play QB in the NFL

When Terrelle Pryor in the spring of 2008 finally announced his decision to play quarterback at Ohio State, he did so to great fanfare as the nation's top-rated and most highly sought after high school football recruit.

Suffice it to say his NFL quarterbacking career, if he even has one to look forward to, won't be starting with the same level of breathless acclaim.

Though other lower-profile options like the UFL remain on the table, Pryor is thought likely to apply for consideration in the NFL's supplemental draft. If conducted amid this year's labor uncertainty, the supplemental draft would be held in July for any and all players who have developed college eligibility issues since the close of the league's regular draft in late April.

Pryor says no to CFL's Roughriders

I talked with a couple of veteran NFL talent evaluators this week, and it became quickly apparent that Pryor's decision to skip his senior season at Ohio State isn't being met with a buzz of anticipation in a league featuring several teams that still seek starting quarterback options. Pryor wasn't going to be playing for the Buckeyes in their first five games of the 2011 season due to a suspension for NCAA violations. But his wait to earn a spot under center for some NFL team could be far longer.

"He needs a ton of work,'' said one long-time club personnel executive who has watched Pryor's play. "It's a long-term deal with him at quarterback. He's a great athlete, very mobile, with big size. He's just not a great passer. He totally needs to refine what he's doing. He's a project, and in the end I'm not convinced he's a quarterback in the NFL. I think he'll end up at another position.''
