Ohio State tailback Chris Wells leaves the field Saturday with a boot on his right foot, which was injured early in the third quarter of the Buckeyes' 43-0 rout of Youngstown State.

Ohio State's Chris Wells becomes a man of mystery with his foot injury

If Ohio State Coach Jim Tressel is smart, and he's as smart as they come, he'll keep the status of the injury as close as he can to his sweater vest.


Why not keep USC guessing?

Ohio State certainly doesn't need Wells this week to beat Ohio in Columbus. Ohio State has not lost to a school in its home state since a 7-6 defeat to Oberlin in 1921.

No conference in the country keeps its news more effectively guarded than the Big Ten, so only God and Woody Hayes might know where it goes from here.

The school said it would allow Wells a day or two of treatment before issuing a statement on his status.

Really, though, why say anything definitive?

Unless Wells is ruled out for the year, there might be no way of knowing the extent of his usefulness until he takes his next snap in a game.

USC Coach Pete Carroll, working the gamesmanship game, has already said he expects Wells will play, but has failed to produce the diploma he's received in any field of medicine.

The Columbus Dispatch provided a little more insight in Monday's paper, reporting Wells gave prized tailback recruit Jamaal Berry, on a visit from Miami, the thumbs-up sign Sunday at the Woody Hayes Athletic Center.

"He said he's going to be OK," Berry told the Dispatch.

Resident Douchebag Todd McShay, speaking during the RU-Fresno State halftime show about Beanie's draft stock, said teams may begin to question Beanie's willingness to play through pain.

I wonder if he even noticed that Beanie didn't miss a game last season while playing through two injuries.

There's a reason the guy works for ESPN and not an NFL franchise. If he were any good at scouting, he'd be working for a pro team at this point. Think of the worst run franchises out there, and then realized that all of them employ talent evaluators whose opinions are more highly valued than McShay's. Same goes for Kiper too.

ESPN Draft Expert : pro scout :: gym teacher : pro athlete.

McShay works for the corporation that believes Erin Andrews has journalistic value and has refused to fire Mark May for years. It's not like they have any kind of standards whatsoever.

How dare you say anything negative about Erin Andrews.

God will show you no mercy.

Can't put my finger in it.... errrrr.... on it, but I don't care if she has any journalistic value or not... if they ever fire her, I will lose the very little respect I still have for ESPN.

It's official: The Beanie Watch on ESPN has become as bad as their Brett Favre coverage.

Please don't send Rachel Nichols to our fine state. Leave us alone.

Well, Shelly Smith is camped outside Pete Carroll's office, so it won't be her.

PS - Shelly Smith just reported that Joe McKnight ran a play without his left shoe tied at practice today.

I'll second that.

Did you see that Sportscenter bit where they showed about 200 people saying "Brett Favre"

I was just waiting for them to show the draft where they called him "Brett Favor"

But if they do send someone, I sure hope Tress & co. request Erin Andrews stating they'll only talk to her :P
