Austin, you might want to check out The Meridian. It's located off of 5th Avenue (but also has an entrance off of King Avenue). It's just west of Olentangy Avenue. I haven't checked out their pricing lately, but I would imagine they'd be in your ballpark. I know they recently installed gates to make it a gated community. It's populated by a younger crowd: more well-to-do Ohio State students and younger professionals.

He (and his father) do seem particularly interested in maintaining a certain imagine for him. Maybe that's the way it is for a lot of higher profile college football players, I don't know. But I can say that, if it's determined he did fabricate all of this, I wouldn't be completely surprised.

Agreed.

Not disputing the veracity of what you suggested, just trying to get clarification about what you meant by rumors. Him being gay seems plausible. I thought he might have done it to help boost his career. Playing through the adversity of the death of a girlfriend makes for a great story, and great stories make for great Heisman campaigns, lots of spotlight, etc.

What are the rumors? That he's gay?

Woooooooooow. The cynic/conspiracy theorist in me is thinking the following: 1. Manti was definitely in on it. 2. He did it to create fame and heighten a Heisman campaign, etc. 3. Things started to unravel, and he knew it was a matter of time before he was caught. 4. They decide to go with the "she was my online gf that I never met" angle and try to put Manti's cohort under the bus. 5. Manti desperately hope people buy this and, collaterally, accept that he played like shit during the NC game because he was burdened with the knowledge that he'd been duped. I hope he was in on it, the internet detectives find out definitely that he was in on it, and he is stripped of all those awards and Notre Dame looks like fools/moral crooks in all of this.

I think Vick is probably one of the best athletes to ever play in the NFL. I'd put him up there with guys like Deion Sanders. Just pure, athletic talent. I watched him single-handedly keep Va Tech in the championship game against Florida State when Florida State was LOADED with all kinds of talent. I just think he isn't very smart, which limits his capacity to be an "elite" quarterback like, say, Manning, Brady, and Rodgers. I'm very excited to see what he'd do in a Kelly-based offensive system, which (as I understand it) would substantially lessen the cognitive burden placed on the QB. Essentially, Vick will just be able to be an athlete that can throw really well (does anyone besides Rodgers throw as pretty a spiral as Vick?) and won't have to make a bunch of crazy reads, etc. What do you guys think - am I way off base here?

Whoa what the fuck??? (Off to check ESPN, Yahoo Sports, etc.)

DJ hates when I do certain things.

"I'm pretty much interested in any school in the AP Top 20." At least - based on what he said he did - he's man enough to tell people straight up where his head is at with things. You have to respect that.

PS - Josh, much love for you, my argumentative friend.

He reminds me of my friend's brother, who was infamous for just disagreeing with you on everything Ohio State regardless of what you said. It was like he just did it just to disagree. It turned into this running joke of sorts: it was impossible to have any sort of conversation with him without him turning it into a pessimism-fest about Ohio State. Friend's Brother: "Ohio State's defense is terrible." Us: "Yeah, they got burnt on a couple of bit plays." Him: "Well, they weren't that bad. They were good against the run." Us: "Yeah, that's true." Him: "Whoa, let's not get carried away - they let some runs go a lot farther than they should have." Us: *groan*

Don't group me in that, homie. I don't know shit about recruiting (and I have a hard enough time just following what these guys are saying about it).

Why would they make the taillights square? Wouldn't someone at GM be like, "Oh, hey, um guys? This pretty much looks identical to a car we already make."

Cool Camaro, GM.

Oh, and Ray Small being as explosive as Ted Ginn? Yes, if, by "explosive," you mean it seemed like every time he tried to catch a punt it was like a grenade exploded in his hands, then yes, I can see that. I really, really wanted to like Ray Small. Too bad he was terrible.

Jamario O'Neal = who the fuck is that? Yeah, I'd say he didn't really pan out; I have never even heard of that guy.

Josh = persistently cynical

+forever (though no offense to our rotary-loving bros of CR) And the rolling shots are boss.

Begin.

LOL owned

Will start new thread. Brian or other demi-gods of CR, please feel free to lock this one up. RIP double post
