The selling stuff for 'family' thing is IMO bogus. Pryor and other wanted money for thing's and displayed less then steller judgment. But that's the thing, these player's are kids. A lot of fans need to remember this. I wonder how a lot of us would be viewed, if our errors in judgement where displayed in the media limelight....

No, they are adults. Adults of a similar age are fighting for our country in Afghanistan and Iraq. I'm not going to give a 20 year old a pass as being a "kid". I'm also not ready to judge Pryor. Once the investigation of the what is it, 6? cars is complete I'll form a more solid view. Until then I'll just say that his actions to date are highly suspect IMO.

And the car can be completely legit - looks like it is - but there is a thing called perception, and it would be wise to ask - in the context of having the worldwide leader in sports, and every other media fool watching your every move and salivating over anything to break the next big story in this mess - "How is this going to look?" It looked bad. Another question he could ask himself: "What can I do to make sure I do not feed this monster?" That level of mature thinking is not where TP operates. I think a 22 year old is capable of it.

I agree that he is taking more abuse than is probably due him, but to whom much is given, much is required. If he wants to be a leader of the Ohio State Univ Buckeye football team, he can't take on that larger status without taking on the responsibilities of that status. I see a strain of immaturity in Pryor throughout his time in Columbus, and I have just wanted to see some growth by this point in his career. Sorry, I don't see it.

I recorded College Football Live to see how the story went today.

Joe Schad said that Pryor drove a "new Nissan sports car"' earlier this week, and that TP's attorney told him that Terrelle's mom "purchased that vehicle for about $11,000."

No mention of the fact the car has 80,000 miles on it, or that the trade-in of TP's previous Dodge was part of the deal.

Screw you, Joe Schad, for your slanted and biased reporting that would make casual viewers wonder how TP's mom was able to buy a "new Nissan Sports car" for "about $11,000".

But I'm not surprised, it's ESPN.

80,000 miles is probably the exact opposite of new. What an asshat.

When he signed his LOI he had to have an idea of what the rules were. When he got to OSU he had to have been briefed on the rules. In the light of several other incidents at OSU and other places he had to have known something about the rules and pondered where he was on the compliance scale.

If we think Reggie Bush should have known that a scholarship didn't include parental housing, that Cam Newton's dad should have known you can't receive a signing bonus, shouldn't we also assume that TP should have had an idea about cars and benefits?
