Re: All of Columbus rejoices
Jeez, what a loser. Can't say I feel one iota of pity for this guy.
Re: All of Columbus rejoices
How many chances is this guy going to screw up? I'm kind of surprised he didn't work harded to make it for the Broncos. Surely by now he sees that football is his only chance to make decent money in this life. What's he going to do for paychecks if the NFL snubs him?
What I wouldn't give for a chance to forgo a real job and make a killing playing a game. What a waste...
Re: All of Columbus rejoices
It was a stupid pick for the Broncos. It's not wise to waste 3rd round picks.
Re: All of Columbus rejoices
Shame on the Broncos for wasting a third round pick on this waste - not just on his untested football skills but also on his pitiful attitude.
Maurice Clarett thought he was entitled to the same kinds of money and recognition as his buddy Lebron James. Think again Mo. :thumbup: :laugh: :beerme: :D :cool: :thumbup: :) :laugh: :devil: :beerme:

Re: All of Columbus rejoices
rumor has it, Maurice will be signing with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays as sort of a package deal with Danny Graves, where both will sit on the bench, pointing out why the teams which released them are completely at fault.
oh. wait. wrong sport. sorry.

Unfortunately, I don't believe for a second we have seen the last of this spoiled malcontent.
Re: All of Columbus rejoices
Maybe he can go and play in either the CFL or the AFL. At least he will be able to put food on his table in those leagues - he's got no other marketable skills whatsoever to be a productive member of society.
Re: All of Columbus rejoices
Sadly, I wonder how long it will be until he shows back up on the police blotter.

I will disagree with "overrated" and am just a wee bit concerned that "overhyped" might be a dig at Ohio State. ;)
If he had stayed in college, trained and practiced hard, kept his mouth shut and scrupulously followed NCAA rules, Mo could have racked up some impressive yardage behind an always-talented Buckeye O-line.
All this release proves is that sitting at home and in lawyer's offices for over a year is no way to prepare for an NFL career. After stiff-arming most of the NFL combines and flopping so miserably in Denver, I think it's a safe bet that Clarett will never set foot on a full-size football field on a Sunday again–at least not in this country. Hopefully, he hasn't spent his signing bonus.

Eh - he had three quarters of a good season that were cut short because he was frail. I'm not convinced that wouldn't have continued if he would have kept his nose clean. We would have heard the uber hype with him every year, while he played 6-7 games putting up above average numbers.

Umm, he didn't get a signing bonus.
Re: All of Columbus rejoices
I'm sure he'll hang around by name alone and novelty factor and work his way down the pro football food chain, CFL, Europe, arena, pee wee, prison yard, etc.
He just screwed it all up. The OSU football machine was ready to assimilate him, elevate him, make him the featured star, Archie/Eddie/etc. Heisman, blah blah. All he had to do was play the game (and I don't mean football). He made a mess of it all.
