The lack of details other than his "life's difficulties" really annoys me! He already has the bling ear rings, so soon yet another ghetto rat recruited that will sell all but his bling just like the following story coming up on OSU's Pryor...Pryor Speaks to the Media
Well, you just knew it was coming. A media session with Terrelle Pryor spawned another couple of pseudo controversies.
The biggest one was a shot at ESPN analyst and former Buckeye quarterback Kirk Herbstreit. Remember back in November, when Pryor tweeted that Herbstreit was a "fake Buckeye"?
In response to a question about Herbstreit's comments that Ohio State might be better off if Pryor left early for the NFL, the junior responded, "I don't worry about what Kirk Herbstreit says, to tell you the truth...has he beat Michigan?"
When contacted by 10TV Sports, Herbstreit replied via text with "wow".
On Thursday, OSU head coach Jim Tressel told the media that the five Buckeyes suspended for violating NCAA rules had to decide to return for the 2011 season in order for their suspensions to carry any weight. Pryor didn't exactly corroborate that.
"It's important to keep your word, but at the same time some guys have different situations. We were just basically saying sorry. I know other guys are in different situations, I can't really speak if they would choose to leave they are breaking a pledge...I wouldn't say that (we are) automatic. Some guys have different situations...speaking for them I don't think you go off by that," he said.
When a reporter followed up with "speak for yourself", he answered, "Once you pledge something, you have to keep your word from that."
Pryor did admit then when he found out about his suspension, his initial thought was to leave early.
Dom Tiberi asked Pryor what he learned from this ordeal, and his suspension.
"It was two years ago (when the memorabilia was sold), I already knew what I shouldn't have done. To tell you the truth, I really didn't learn much. I can't tell you that I learned something because I already knew what I did wrong."
That's not exactly the way it was explained back on December 23rd, now is it?
We'll have some of those comments for you on 10TV HD News at 6 & 11pm tonight, as well as Wall to Wall Sports at 11:35pm
I predict these jerks will play the Sugar Bowl then totally blow-off OSU, causing a legal mess and then coach zipping out on his contract as well...just watch, from his comments, what do you get from this?

How on earth can anyone find something wrong with this story? How can you really bash this young man, because he has an earring? I didn't know a prerequisite for winning this award was also "a student has to come from a family in poverty". This is a young man who has had a lot to deal with in his life with the loss of a mother, father being incarcerated (which is not the boys fault), and now he has fought through life's struggles and came out on top with a 3.8 gpa. You must really hate life if you are trying to take the beauty out of a story like this. We need more students and student athletes like this young man, not more hate.
