Nice joke by Mandel. Really if there is 1 school in the country that could least afford to have a player get in trouble, it's OSU. And you know it's true. that's why you can't stand what Mandel said...b/c you know it's 100% correct.

Figures you'd find Mandel amusing. Camel boy.

The word of the day: Schadenfreude.

The definition: "Enjoyment obtained from the mishaps of others." Alternatively: "Pleasure taken at others' suffering."

Mandel and IMHO virtually all sportwriters, a slightly smaller percentage of "journalists" generally, and a significantly smaller percentage of other people (quack, quack) have schadenfreude as their defining personal characteristic. There's no point in indulging them by letting them know that they're bugging you: Much better to just pity them for defining themselves in such a lame way.

I hate when people do this. Particularly on internet message boards. :slappy:
Lisa: Dad, do you know what Schadenfreude is?
Homer: No, I do not know what shaden-frawde is.
[sarcasm] Please tell me, because I'm dying to know.
Lisa: It's a German term for `shameful joy', taking pleasure in the suffering
of others.
Homer: Oh, come on Lisa. I'm just glad to see him fall flat on his butt!
[getting mad]
He's usually all happy and comfortable, and surrounded by loved ones,
and it makes me feel... What's the opposite of that shameful joy
thing of yours?
Lisa: [nastily] Sour grapes.
Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!

I heard yet another cheap shot aimed at Tressel on Houston (TX) AM sports radio this morning. Houston Chronicle writer, Richard Justice, was asked which college coaches he hated. Tressel was on his short list. His reasoning was "Tressel was kissing up to the media when he was just a candidate for the OSU job. After he got the job, he completely abandoned the press. That shows the kind of guy he is. He will probably try and reach back out to the media now that he's in trouble."

I have no idea how a Houston reporter would reach this conclusion other than heresay/sour grapes from a colleague/friend that covered the story from Ohio. Probably another case of the media piling on with very little, if any, first hand information.
