Don’t worry, Manningham can’t read this

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Michigan's proudest WR, Mario Manningham, managed to score a 6 on the NFL's Wonderlic intelligence test. 6. An average score on the Wonderlic is 21, right were OSU's Vernon Gholston landed. That's supposed to represent an average IQ. But how bad is 6? "Charlie Wonderlic Jr., president of Wonderlic Inc., says, 'A score ...

Congrats, Big Guy!

All of us (including you, our faithful readers and fellow Gholston man-crushers) at the Men of the Scarlet and Gray congratulate Vernon Gholston on his selection as the 6th pick in the 2008 NFL draft, traveling down the Columbus -- East Rutherford pipeline.

Kids say the darnedst things

Weak, pathetic Colts embarrass themselves; division

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

The Colts are finally being exposed as an overrated team that doesn't deserve to compete for the title. I mean, losing to a team with more losses than you? How pathetic. Sure, they've won a Super Bowl title and competed in multiple AFC championship games over the past few years, but ...

Looks like everyone's favorite #10 will be given the ball this Sunday in Seattle. With Boller nursing a sore dome, Ravens' coach Brian Billick has said that Troy will be starting: "He's as ready as you're going to be as a rookie," coach Brian Billick said after today's practice. "One thing ...

More Buckeyes going pro

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Now that the dust has settled on the 2007 NFL draft, we'll try to keep track of what undrafted Buckeyes sign as free agents with NFL teams. Three Buckeyes have already signed with teams: The Indianapolis Buckeyes added another OSU alum, signing a free agent contract with walk-on, feel-good story Antonio ...

OMG bradyquinnWTFBBQ?!?!!

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

I feel bad for Ted Ginn, Jr. Holy cow. Recruited as a defenseman, then a #3 SR, then a #1 WR. Fastest feet in the Big Ten. Set the conference record for punt return TDs. Would have set the record for kickoff TDs, had it not been for several controversial calls on ...

2007 NFL Draft, Ohio State Perspective

Monday, April 30th, 2007

Looking at the NFL Draft from the perspective of an Ohio State fan is always fun to do. It's exciting to see kids you cheered for to make the jump to the professional level (unless they get drafted by the Steelers or Ravens, GRRR!). So first, the facts. Here's how ...

Pathetic Ginn slows in front of scouts

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Sigh... When will Big Ten players learn? Running a 4.4 / 40 with an ankle that's just been removed from a cast is the type of pathetic performance that we've all come to expect from a non-SEC player. Scouts were disappointed, but not surprised, at the Cleveland native's predictable sloth-like jog. ESPN ...

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

I guess MotSaG wouldn't be much of a sports blog if we didn't say at least a few words on Prince's concert the Super Bowl... Does anyone else see the parallels between the NFL championship and the BCS title game, here? Team A has a prolific offense, at times completely unstoppable. It's ...

Smith lobbying for Browns’ spot

Wednesday, January 31st, 2007

While fans of Troy Smith would certainly love to see him go high in the NFL draft, Smith would rather go lower if it would mean being drafted by Cleveland. "I have dreamed about it and talked about it countless times with my mother," he said. "All she talks about is ...

“Are you stupid or something?”

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

We really like you. "Yeah? Thanks a lot." We're going to form a company to market you. "Groovy, dude." Are you into it? "Sure, man. Whatever." Here's a house. "Cool." Here's a car. "Thanks. Hey, it needs fixed up, though." Here's some money to fix it up. "Sweet." Here's some more money to pay off your mama's bills. "Okay." -- TWO YEARS PASS ...
