Excellent ESPN article: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/story?id=2545078

apparently he called a reporter before being arrested. He also called Jim Tressel,his coach at OSU.

Great article. I just dont understand how he could screw things up so badly. You're a freshman and arguably the greatest running back in college ball at the time. You've scored the winning touchdown of the national championship. Why screw it all up? Granted, some seeds were sown before and during the season, but he just let the dominos continue to fall. A tragic, sad story.

I don't know about that... most hyped, definately. He wasn't even the best RB to play in the National Championship game, though. That was Willis McGahee.

Anyway, it is pretty frustrating to see someone squander everything away so blatantly. More than anything, I just hope that he is able to get the help that he needs during this ordeal.

Even more frustrating as a die-hard Buckeyes fan...

It's such a shame when athletes set such miserable examples of how to handle fame...

What a waste of talent, the guy could have done something for himself.

What a terrible team to like.

They're fifth on my hate list behind Texas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Florida.

It's a shame, he should have stayed a few more years at Ohio St. Some people just don't have patience.
