Can't say I didn't see this coming - and it's probably a good move for the Buckeyes too, as the removal of Sweatervest may make the inevitable NCAA sanctions a wee bit softer. Believe me, the punishment is still coming though, and whether it's this year or 3-4 years down the line, they will get the penalties they so richly deserve.
It's always tough seeing seemingly squeaky clean sports heroes fall from grace, because it taints their accomplishments, and thus, your memories as well. If they are frauds, am I as well? You spent so much time and energy rooting for what turned out to be a sack of lies; it's like being robbed of a portion of your life. I'm obviously no Tressel fan, but I admired his success and the way in which he achieved it. But whether it's him, or Tiger, Barry Bonds, Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, possibly Lance Armstrong, or any of the many other fallen superstars, their legacies are irreparably damaged, along with the memories of millions of fans.
An interesting point....provocative, if nothing else.
The word is the timing of Tressel's resignation was timed to precede a particularly damaging report set to emerge from Sports Illustrated either Tuesday or Wednesday. I CAN NOT WAIT to see what's in that report.
Amazing photo. Big as a city bus.
The Grand Rapids lip dub - a World Record (for size, length, awesomeness, or something)!
An in-helmet look at playing quarterback. Doesn't look easy.
