Ex-OSU QB Troy Smith arrested for DUI/possession of marijuana
Not quite sure yet if this will help or hurt his endorsement deal with Life Support but former OSU QB (and noted Michigan nemesis) Troy Smith was arrested last night outside of Columbus for DUI and possession.

He did one better:
The arresting officer noted in his report that when he first walked up to Smith’s car, “Smith said something that sounded like he said he was an officer. I asked him if he was a police officer, and he said, ‘I’m great.’ ”
Now that's stoned.
If you are going to do it, then do it.

+1, this was an epic find. Aewsome answers from Troy:
Asked how he’s doing: “I’m officer, sir. I’m officer.”
Asked his highest level of education: “My name is Troy Smith. I graduated from Ohio State with a degree in bachelors.”
Asked to recite the alphabet from C to W: “C. D. E. F. G. H. I. [sigh] [infinite pause]”
The last part showed that he probably didn't play school either! No doubt he would have stumbled on the "M".
How I know he was drunk: he didn't answer the education question with "I graduated from THE Ohio State University..." I'm surprised they didn't lock him up right then.
I would have told him immediately that I'm actually the greatest. Also very shortly after demanding him to suck the breathalizer biznatch. Then I'd slap him in the face with blue paint stamp reading Go Blue. Monday I'd put in my resignation from that shitty job.
Option / dual threat qbs don't do well in the pros, but they can destroy college defenses because college players over commit.
OSU has been a run-first qb offense for most of the last decade.
Farve being an exception in the NFL.
Fa(v)re? Not sure that's a great example of a dual threat QB. Guy was elusive in the pocket; but %100 pure gun slinger.
I don't think he ever ran option but he could definitely run.
Kind of incredible that with all of OSU's success over the years (including successful NFL players), basically none of their QBs have done anything noteworthy in the league.
I mean, Michigan has had 3 guys in the with respectable to great NFL careers recently: Griese, Brady, and Henne. OSU has ?
Depending on your definition of recently... Grbac - 9 seasons (with SF, KC & the Ravens). Collins famous for going almost 10 years between starts, but he had a steady gig the whole time in between as a back-up.
Since 2000 - This is ugly......
2000 Chris Weinke
2001 Eric Crouch
2002 Carson Palmer
2003 Jason White (not even drafted!)
2004 Mat Leinart
2006 Troy Smit
2007 Tim Tebow
2008 Sam Bradford
2010 Cam Newton
2011 Robert Griffin
2012 Johnny Manzeil (dont get me started)
2013 Jameis Winston
2014 Marcus Mariotta
But that means only 2 out of 13 of the alleged best player in college football turned into NFL stars. And those two are still pretty early so it's hard to put them solidly in the win collumn just yet.
I will say however that hitting on 2 of 13 is better than my Browns do at 1st round draft picks so I guess it's not the worst selection I've seen.
Carson Palmer has been a started for the last 11 years and was the first overall pick.
Jason White wasn't drafted because he torn both ACLs a couple of times and was not able to scramble at all.
So we'll call it 3.5 of 13
Damn, I feel for you Browns fans and I'm a Bears fan.
Could've been 1 if they drafted Tom Brady instead of...Spergon Wynn. But thankfully that didn't happen, for both Brady's sake and Buckeye/Browns fans schadenfreude.
Carson Palmer is a high quality QB. Sam Bradford is pretty good when healthy. Griffin was good till he got hurt.

it to this link-- you will see why he has wrecked many multi-signed Heisman balls .................he takes a whole panel just for his 9 letters when he can-- while others sign in an organized fashion.
Plus, his signature illegible!!!!
Welcome back!
Well done, Hotel.
He was on the Montreal Alouettes for awhile. I know the equipement manager. He once told me of Smith "he's a great guy and a hell of an athelete, but he can't read a defense". So he didnt last all that long up here either.
