I'm not going to crucify a kid for committing an offense that's a glorified traffic ticket. Please be sure to post about the next time OJ Mayo gets cited for speeding.

And yes I am sure that the official took a dive to get this guy into trouble. Its a big conspiracy by the refs to get this kid suspended from basketball.

Watch the clip. It's hard to deny that OJ got snowed.

I hope you're kidding. Just in case you're not, let's start with the facts that it is an illegal drug and that it is harmful to just about every system in its user's body.

Make sure to post in every Ohio State recruit's thread the next time they don't use their turn signal.

Ah, I see. The age-old argument that if you did it (or if you can point to one public figure who has), then it must be ok. Great logic.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy that an 18-year-old basketball player is being held to a higher standard that the President.

So now crimes like possession of drugs are equivalent to traffic violations like failure to use a turn signal? Once again, I must commend your logic.

Alcohol is # 1 but, its legal.  What a screwed up system in the USA. |

Check the Ohio Revised Code. It carries the same penalty as a traffic ticket, with the exception of a mandatory 6-month license suspension - and you always get driving privileges anyway.
Unless, of course, you're selling it - which I doubt was the case here. |

Watched it.... again. Still looks like their feet get tangled up and the ref trips. Mayo had no business walking after the official anyway. |

ORC has nothing to do with West Virginia. Anyway I never said that smoking pot was better or worse than a traffic ticket. I said he should be on his best behavior. Not out riding around with illegal drugs in the car. |
