Flawed kid that possessed more physical gifts than anybody I've ever seen wear a Buckeye uniform. Played his guts out and loved being a Buckeye. I have no problem rooting for him now.

TP was a kid who made some mistakes and poor decisions. I wish he'd made better decisions just as I wish I had made better decisions at that age. The guy loved tOSU and played like it. I will always cheer for him.

These. Plus, he wasn't the only one who did these things. One was even cheered and revered after he came back. It is in the past and that is where it will stay. Life moves on, and we aren't slappy valleyians who live in the past.

If I can cheer for Chris Carter ..I can cheer for TP. The Carter incident was the final nail in the coffin for me thinking college football was a student/athlete thing.

I have never really been a TP fan for a variety of reasons but I must admit the guy in the video seems like a different person than when he was in C-Bus. I can't believe the change. Maybe it's because I have not followed him at all the last few years but the humility and maturity are obvious. I hope he does well. Once a Buckeye, always a Buckeye. Even TP playing in Oakland.

Not a fan of TPs, but what Tress did was 10x more damaging to the university than what any of the those players did.

That, and the fact that Tress completely coddled his stars, starting with Clarett, is why those kids made those choices. Kids that age are going to push it to whatever limit is set and Tress didn't have many limits for his stars unfortunately.

Like I said, those guys made conscious choices and I get why some Buckeye fans (myself being one) don't really follow or cheer for them. But Tress is the one who really damaged the reputation of the university by lying repeatedly to the NCAA.

Raiders' Terrelle Pryor rebuilds his image as a quarterback
Now in his third NFL season, Terrelle Pryor has changed his throwing motion and is determined to be a factor for the Oakland Raiders.

NAPA, Calif. ? Terrelle Pryor, the last draft pick made by Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, can now make a remarkable admission for an NFL quarterback.

Until this year, he didn't really know how to throw a football.

That may be a little extreme. He thought he knew how to throw, and he could pick up a ball and wing it. But his body mechanics were so inefficient and his tosses were so scattershot, he said, he had no future in the pros.

"I look back on last year, and I just knew I wasn't ready," said Pryor, 23, entering his third NFL season and now an intriguing figure in the Raiders' quarterback mix, probably as a change-of-speed option to presumed starter Matt Flynn.

Determined to rebuild his motion, Pryor worked extensively with throwing specialist Tom House at USC this off-season, developing new timing and "unlocking" his upper body to improve his accuracy. House works with an array of NFL players ? along with college and Major League Baseball players ? among them quarterbacks Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

"I truly believe that after spending a month and a half with Tom, I can now sit back in the pocket and throw the ball," he said.
