College football starts this Thursday after what seemed like the forever. What’s not to love about college football season. There should be some great story lines this year with some traditional powers falling off, the rise of mid-major teams, and the return of Notre Dame. With all of that, here our Unathletic’s 5 guys who will be there at the end of the Heisman Trophy race.
Maurice Clarett is a Buckeye again. Only this time he’ll be nowhere near the football field. Clarett was granted re-entry to pursue his degree by THE Ohio State University. Clarett started classes on Monday in the College of Education and Human Ecology, the degree in which he originally began his college career. The former standout running back had this to say about being back on campus….
“it is a surreal feeling to be back at Ohio State” and that he doesn’t want to be a “distraction or nuisance” to the football team or other students.
Well, unfortunately he probably will draw some attention. Clarett, after challenging the NFL’s ruling that a player must be three years out of high school to enter the NFL draft, got drafted by the Denver Broncos but found no success. He signed a deal in July, 2005 and was released in August, 2005. Then came the legal troubles which led to a 3.5 year bid in prison for aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon.
Maurice Clarett is another misguided young man, who had all the talent in the world and blew it. It’s a fairly common story these days. How he is back at Ohio State, and how it’s being paid for are questions that shall remain unanswered. Let’s just hope he finishes school this time.
While I can’t think of many scenarios better than eating in a Hooters where all the waitresses are legitimately attractive, I suppose that adding real cheerleaders to the mix helps greatly. I’ve managed to find some pictures of real athlete cheering squads and ladies called “Hoots” which I think is Hooters version of their own cheerleaders.
OK, it’s their waitresses but I’m really trying to stretch the limits of this site so I can include hot girls and sports. What the hell is sporty about this post other than the fact I might use a lot of effort to masturbate soon.
More ladies after the jump…
11 Notre Dame athletes were arrested this weekend on underage drinking charges. Among them was son of Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana. Nate Montana and several players from the football, basketball, and hockey team. Most of the arrests were released on $150 bail. Tim Abromaitis, of the basketball team, was the other notable player involved in the arrest.
Poor Nate Montana. The only guy with a recognizable name, because of his father, gets mentioned at the top of this article. In collegiate sports, we’ve seen computer theft, sexual abuse, and drug use. Underage drinking, which undoubtedly occurs everywhere, isn’t nearly as bad as the aforementioned crimes. As a matter of fact, this story probably wouldn’t even have made the headlines if it wasn’t for Montana. Then again, it might have because of the number of athletes involved. Either way, now Notre Dame athletics has more street cred.
One thing is for sure, the basketball players are going to be running a lot of sprints……
So we’ll deal with it as it runs its course. … A lot of sweating will be involved. That’s the one thing I can say specifically and then we’ll handle it from there.

I wrote about Molly Qerim on Uncoached a while back and finally she’s getting the attention she deserves. I said it before and I’ll say it again. She’s one of if not the hottest reporters on ESPN. Way to go Molly!

With the passing of George Steinbrenner and me having just watched another movie I wasn’t 100% satisfied with I couldn’t help think about owners in professional sports. We as fans tend to put a lot of blame on players and coaches when it comes to a team sucking. We fail to remember that success usually starts from the top, not the bottom.
Just like any successful company, a pro team is generally the same way. After all the owner is the first true architect of a team. So if you get really pissed at a coach or player, next time start thinking about the owner as well when your team is sucking ass.
Speaking of owners. You know who would make great owners? Some characters in movies. Here are five fictional characters that should be pro sports team owners…..
The best time of the year (other than March Madness) is when summer starts to fade and football starts. Weekends are full of college and pro football. It doesn’t get any better than that. Here are a few players to keep your eye on this College Football Season. Mark Ingram (picture above) is an obvious one. So, here are 5 other guys…..
And good for you Steve Garvey. In case you missed it, this weekend was host to the Steve Garvey Celebrity Softball game which lends a hand in helping with the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease. On July 10th the event took place at Pepperdine University where stars like Pete Rose, Jose Canseco, and many others were on display showing their softball skills.
In particular I’m guessing what we didn’t see is Jose Canseco flirting his ass off with the likes of Maria Kanellis. Kanellis is a former (or current, I don’t give a shit) WWE Diva who we’ve all seen naked. I’m very curious how much of a jackass Canseco may have come off ass. “Yeah I used to do steroids Maria. I still do. The thing is that yeah, they make your balls shrink but what they don’t tell you is that the shaft gets huge and veiny. Does that turn you on?”
In any event, kudos to Garvey for the charity. P.S. Carl Weathers played catcher!
