@thebiglead: Greg Oden Arrested For Suspected Battery, Mugshot Has Ohio State Shirt http://t.co/x6rvivZHHa If this weren't for punching a woman, I was going to mention something along the lines of how an 87 year old wouldn't last in prison, but in the light of Ray Rice, this is certainly a problem. Edit: Can someone not on their phone post the mugshot? It's the most Ohio thing ever.

Drinking does not cause assaults on women. It surely impairs judgment, but it's not the cause of domestic violence or general violence.

I agree 100 percent. I think people get this backwards a lot. Whatever it is in someone's heart that makes them capable of hitting a woman/abusing their kids, etc. is the problem. Substance abuse is a symptom and possibly a trigger, but not the problem. It's fun to laugh at OSU, but I really hope Oden and Sullinger get help.

You mean like Ray Rice?

It's a shame that all the good things Rice did (and how Oden) will be forgotten just cause he made one teeny, tiny little mistake and punched a women bloody and senseless.

The Columbus Dispatch is already helping with damage control by cropping the OSU shirt out of the mug shot. That will help.

Edit: ESPN also has the cropped image, so maybe the double birds is too offensive.

I used to feel some sympathy for Oden, because even as a former rival I could respect how rough it must be to have so much potential and then have it ruined by injuries.

Guess I don't have to do that anymore.

As time goes on, we see why Terrell Pryor made the statement he did. In the world of OSU athletics, everyone ODES kill people, murder people, steal from you, steal from me, whatever.
