Ohio State Football Question of the Day: How Many People Have You Killed?

I spent much of last week discussing the problems that Rich Rodriguez and the Michigan football team are facing. Therefore, it would be hypocritical of me to not discuss Terrelle Pryor demonstrating his support for Michael Vick last Saturday.

I don't think I need to recap the horrendous and despicable acts that landed Vick in federal prison for 18 months. Personally, I wouldn't want him anywhere near me, my favorite football team, or city for that matter. However, to be fair, he did his time and has kept clean since his release.

If Pryor views Vick as a role model and wants to write his name on his eye-black stickers, so be it. The problem came after the Buckeyes win over Navy when Pryor was asked about the tribute.

"I know what happened with him and, I mean, I don't want to talk much. I'm just going to be very short and sweet with it. But I just feel he made his mistake and I think he just needs more support."

Fair enough.

"Not everybody is the perfect person in the world," Pryor continued.

True. Okay, Terrelle, time to stop talking.

"Everyone does—kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me. I just feel that people need to give him a chance."

Say what? That may be the dumbest thing I have ever heard come out of an athlete's mouth.

Finally, everyone in Columbus knows why Jim Tressel keeps his players on such a short leash when it comes to speaking to the media.
