Boy, talk about wanting to have a giant do-over card. You have to believe if he could do it again he would just take his punishment from OSU and prep to play this year. Of course, he and his advisors have not made a good decision since this whole thing started.

In addition to MC's future, this cannot be helping the law practice of this attorney.

Hmm. I fail to see where you equate a lift threatening disease with a person's complete stupidity, but then again, we're talking about one of the more ignorant posters around, so I'm not surprised.

I asked this question months ago on the other site, but I didn't think it would be quite this soon:

"Whatever became of Maurice Clarett?"

Just goes to show, no matter the talent, bad choices and thinking you're above the rules can short-circuit a once-promising future.

What a dumbass...best of luck to him. Obviously, he's gonna need it.

I think he'll see a football field again, but I have to allow that I'll be surprised if he has a more significant career at this point than, say, Lawrence Phillips. Another bright future thrown away for different, probably even more stupid reasons.

2 full seasons away from football with a questionable level of discipline (I base that on his physical condition as the combine approached this year), I actually think this is going to make him more prone to injury down the road than less. Which is just adding to what is already a huge knock on him in the eyes of many in the NFL.

I wonder sometimes if the Mo saga would have been different had LeBron been from Texas or the like.

It's all a tragic waste in my eyes, but it's his life. The Marine in me thinks maybe a 4 year enlistment would do him good. Get him away from his friends, family and 'advisors', get some discipline, get into top physical condition, and then try to come into the league the way Mike Williams and a few others have. I know that idea would seem absurd to him, and probably to most here, but in a lot of ways I think it would be good for MoC the person, and even for MoC the player. There are units in the Corps that take football very seriously, the battalion that Williams came out of has actually sent a couple guys to the NFL for shots.

I don't know Mo personally, but I go to school with a number of his classmates and know a few of his teachers and everyone of them has told me the same thing. That other than being a little bit of a hotshot he was/is very nice kid that has had one burning desire since he was a kid, to play in the NFL. While he may have made some bad choices that doesn't make him a bad person. My friends also tell me that there is no questioning his work ethic. I think he'll tear it up in the NFL, I'll be rooting for him.

btw - buckeyehead, are you my ex-girlfriend? She couldn't drop anything either.

I'm thrilled with the court decision and not because it was Mo that lost out. I think it's a good rule and an employer should have the right to hire who they want. Playing in the NFL is not a right, it's a privelage. Where are all of those people now that say it was unconstitutional for Maurice not to be in the NFL and they were violating his right to work?

im one of those cox, i still think he should have been allowed in, and im aware it IS a priviledge to play in the nfl, but i thought it should be a right for any team who felt the urge to should be able to hire him for their team. thats my problem with the whole situation, not that he didnt get drafted but that he wasnt ALLOWED to be drafted.. if no one wanted him then he could have been just like all the highschoolers that declared, but teams do/did want him, and thats where i dont like this ruling.
