Me too. I almost started a thread about it. This was a really good documentary. Showed Geiger to be a scumbag. Which yeah. Showed how Ohio State took the national title he gave them but they threw out every other thing attached to his name. Showed his downward spiral and his progressing return to better things. Good on him.

This was a weird vote, since probably the two best players (Manziel and Winston) both had baggage to varying degrees.  Congrats to Winston for the win, but I sure hope it doesn't come out that something did happen that night.  Regardless, I honestly forgot it was even going on today.

No, I recognize that part.  I am referring more to the consensual nature of the engagement. Winston always admitted to having sexual intercourse with her, but it does sound like the State was a bit too quick to dismiss claims that she was unable to provide proper consent that evening.  And yes, this is the type of case that makes everyone feel icky because sometimes what is legal and what it culturally acceptable can diverge.

years ago when we played new york (1996) they put us up at the downtown athletic club. very cool place, historic like the detroit athletic club.  anyway, the downtown athletic club is where they handed out the heisman and kept the pictures of the winners for decades.   the first night there we had a banquet with some of the local dignitaries and some of ny's team in the heisman room.  neat to look around and see all the history, the winners.

 

all except one was on the wall.  one picture was missing.  guess who's?    yep, OJ's was off the wall and nowhere to be seen. 

 

unfortunately with 9/11 the club was damaged and condemned, but what a fine trip indeed.

They said that chick had like a .04% BAC. Those charges were the product of some slut trying to get her 15. Get off these kids collective back. Winston deserved it and won. Whatever.

It's been happening for awhile now but more so lately...you have to burst on the scene to win the grid an. It's no longer the best player but the best breakout player.
