Clarett again does what he does best

He backs out of so many friggin' commitments he needs the new pill made up from Doan's pills and Viagra - it will keep your back from petering out and your peter from backing out. Since MoC appears to be phallic in so many ways - this would fit him nicely.

ALL I WANT IS ONE HIT AT THE GUY, JUST ONE!!! SCREW MY BAD SHOULDER, KNEE AND BACK - IF I HAD JUST ONE SHOT ON THE GUY - I'D KICK HIS ASS AND THEN STAND OVER HIM AND SAY "THIS IS WHAT REAL BUCKEYES ARE MADE OF, PUNK!":osu:

LeBron could just buy him a scooter like the old folks and infirm use - hey, Mo - call the Scooter Store at 1-800-IMAPUNK.

I was over at this event today. He was held at the Dolphin Training camp. The guy who replaced MoC at the last minute, ended up wining it. (No I won't tell you who, in case you want to watch it on Saturday!)

I don't think he would back out of the combine.

He just retained us, and he (withdrew) on my advice. We're three weeks from the combine. ... At this time, it seems risky to me."
Is he just signing with an agent now, or switching because someone "did him wrong?" I know recent graduates are just now looking at agents, but I would have thought Clarett would have set this up long ago, particularly as his case is a bit more, er, complicated. Anyone?

BTW... "Real Buckeye" DoctorSJ, whatever Clarett's done, and I certainly haven't cared for any of it since about 2002, I don't think I've ever heard of him threatening violence. Way classy. :roll1:

Thanks, HH - I already know who replaced him, BTW, but I won't post it here. However, I bet the coverage mentions the guy being Clarett's replacement at least a couple of times, so those that read the post won't be in suspense if they watch the show. :wink2:

But those events are pretty meaningless. Clarett did himself more damage by dropping out at the last minute than he would have done by finishing last.

Football hit Deety - him and me one on one - he outweighs me by about 30 pounds - but I think I can take him - maybe I should put the TIC button back on my computer. Man, a guy can't joke on here either without being taken too seriously - I am a sarcastic SOB, I just thinks it would make me feel better. BTW don't insult my Buckeye-ness (likely not a real word) - again, I was trying to make a bit of a joke but it obviously got lost in translation.

Clarett pulls out of all-star skills challenge
By Steven Wine, The Associated Press

MIAMI — Maurice Clarett stiff-armed another commitment, reinforcing doubts
about his reliability and fitness with the NFL scouting combine three weeks
away.

The elusive, reclusive former Ohio State running back had been scheduled to
participate in the college football all-star challenge, an eight-player
skills event taped Monday by Fox TV at Dolphins Stadium for broadcast
Saturday.

But he recently hired a new agent, Steve Feldman, who told organizers late
last week that Clarett was pulling out.

"It was completely my decision," Feldman said. "He wanted to be there, but
from a safety standpoint, it doesn't seem logical to take a chance that he
might tweak something or pull something or damage something that would
prevent him from showing off his stuff at the combine."

At the combine a year ago, Clarett showed up overweight and declined to work
out. He'll be eligible for the draft in April after his legal bid to enter
the NFL last year was overturned by an appeals court. He hasn't played since
being suspended by Ohio State following the 2002 season.

Feldman said Clarett is healthy and working with a private trainer but
declined to say where.

"This guy will blow people's minds at the combine," Feldman said. "He is in
fantastic shape. That's why it seems ludicrous to jeopardize it at this
point."

Following the combine in Indianapolis, which begins Feb. 23, Clarett will
likely take part in two or three private workouts, Feldman said.

Organizers of the all-star challenge said Clarett had accepted an invitation
to the event earlier in January before hiring Feldman.

"Unfortunately Maurice is carrying forward his tradition of not honoring
commitments and being very unpredictable," said Dan Jones, vice president of
Intersport, the company producing the show. "We were excited about giving
him an opportunity to change the public perception, and unfortunately he has
done the exact opposite and reinforced it."

Players participating included Aaron Rodgers, Jason White, Carnell Williams
and Braylon Edwards, who shrugged off Clarett's absence.

"To be invited to something like this, I thought it would be something good
for him," Edwards said. "Clarett's Clarett."

"I would be curious to just meet him and see where his head's at," Williams
said.

Organizers disputed Feldman's contention that Clarett would have risked
injury by participating. The event measures agility, speed and strength, and
Jones said model Marisa Miller — who will appear on the show — tested the
course without incident.

"If a supermodel can run through the course in high heels and not get
injured, I'm pretty sure Maurice Clarett can do it without getting injured,"
Jones said.

But with the combine approaching, Feldman said Clarett can't risk even a
minor injury, unlike other NFL prospects.

"The other guys have film. They've played the last two years. They can
afford a tweak or pull," Feldman said. "He can't. He's got to be ready."

Feldman's clients include New England Patriots Corey Dillon and Rodney
Harrison. Clarett has also retained as an attorney David Kenner, who has
represented Death Row Records founder Marion "Suge" Knight.

Clarett rushed for 1,237 yards and 16 touchdowns as a freshman in 2002,
leading Ohio State to the national championship. He was then suspended for
lying to investigators during an NCAA investigation of allegations he
received improper benefits from a family friend.

"He's going to convince people he has learned a great deal in the last year
and a half," Feldman said.




Amazing, has Moc's agent told him not to take any showers until the combine since he could potentially slip in the shower causing a severe injury? :) You have to love the part about the model!!

I wonder whether or not he would have posted a better raw score than the supermodel in high heels? Maybe that is why they withdrew him.

If MoC had a brain he would have called Willis McGahee's agent 5 minutes after Willis got drafted by Buffalo with a blown out knee, in the first round no less.

Clarett with a bad shoulder, bad knee and well no brain would surely have been a top five pick with that guy at the helm.

Some team will take a chance, a big one, but none the less a chance.

Yea, Clarrett could get a job in the remake of "The Wizard of Oz". He could play the scarecrow looking for a brain or he could play the tin man 'cause he has no heart or he could play the lion because he lacks courage.

If I were a "Big Time" back like he thinks he's going to be then...

I would do everything to get myself noticed by NFL Scouts. Go do this and not pull out! But thats MoC for you! The guy always and still continues to mess his life up! I don't understand it. It's all about Pride, too proud to beg! If he would just come out,to the world, and say "I messed up at tOSU". And say "I am ready to get my life straight" then I think NFL scouts would take him serious but they don't! He's a joke in everyone eyes but his own! Own up, put up, or shut up! Get real with yourself before you try to get real with someone else guy! Grow up or go away forever! Can I get an Amen?
