Vernon Gholston, cut by the Bears

Tuesday, August 30th, 2011

Normally, this would go into a “In Case You Missed It” post, but since Vernon Gholston is a member of the MotSaG Mount Rushmore, he gets his own post. Even when it’s bad news:
The Chicago Bears have waived defensive end Vernon Gholston…
Drafted sixth overall by the New York Jets in 2008, Gholston was released in March after failing to record a sack in three seasons.

Nick Mangold, Jock

Speaking of former Buckeyes that are now New York Jets, Nick Mangold will be joining John Hodgman on his variety show “GOOD EVENING, MY NAME IS JOHN HODGMAN”
IN THIS CASE, the “NERD” shall be played by me, John Hodgman, and the “JOCK” shall be played by the New York Jet, NICK MANGOLD, as I confront all of my deepest fears (humiliation/being punched/Nick Mangold) and attempted to learn from him the virtues of jock culture and the rules of football.

Vernon, you’re killing me

From ProFootballTalk.com
Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports that tackle D’Brickashaw Ferguson and defensive end Vernon Gholston were in the vehicle with Edwards.

Braylon Edwards is a colossal moron, so no suprise that he would be caught drinking and driving.

This and that

As the sportsMonkey and I were headed to see the second half of the USA/Algeria World Cup game, he remembered that one of his first posts here at MotSaG was about the 2006 World Cup (ironically after another bouncing at the hands of Ghana).

Troy Smith loves Cleveland

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

And Cleveland loves you, Troy!
It’s no secret we have a special place in our hearts for Troy Smith and most of us are pretty bummed out that he hasn’t had a chance to show his stuff in the NFL. One little medical condition is what stands between Troy Smith starting for the Baltimore Ravens in 2008 and riding the pine except for some rare occasions.

The Stiff Arm of Justice, coming to Sundays?

News out of Arizona is that Chris “Beanie” Wells may be working his way into the starting job for the Cardinals.
You can see some of Beanie’s highlights from the preseason game against the Packers here.

Always bet on Beanie

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

According to The Trenches blog over at Sporting News, Vegas is giving Chris “Beanie” Wells 7-2 odds for finishing as NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the year this season. Those odds are second to only Knowshon Moreno, who they’re pegging at 5-2.

Mixed Emotions

I love Santonio Holmes like any good Buckeye fan. I was sad to see him leave early, but I’m happy that he’s found success, especially in the Super Bowl. That catch in the end zone was a thing of beauty. Good on you, Santonio.

NFL-Preseason Vernon Gholston Shot

Friday, August 8th, 2008

I wanted to get this up as I was watching the Browns/Jets preseason game last night, but just ran out of time. So I figured while I watch the Olympic opening ceremonies would be a great time to post a little OSZeus Beefcake:

It’s from a couple months ago, but it’s the best shot I could find of him in a Jets uni and his new #56.
