And we all know that if you played even a couple of seasons for OSU, and kept your nose clean, some insurance agent, car dealership, real estate developer or radio/TV station is going to give you a gig, "just because." I mean, Demetrious Stanley and his pimp suits on Channel 6? Pretty embarrassing, although not as embarrassing as John Corby having Schlichter on his show twice a week last fall.
“I mean, Demetrious Stanley and his pimp suits on Channel 6? Pretty embarrassing...”
That was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.
And don’t forget “Deli Man” Vlade Janakievski. I don’t fault the guy for hustling and getting into business for himself, and that operation (mostly family employees) offers a good product. He and his family were (legal) immigrants back in ‘67. He walked onto the team in ‘77 as a soccer player and played through the ‘80 season. But I can’t help but think his status as a local celebrity helped him get the financing needed to buy that business. No question that being a local celebrity, and around here that means football player or coach, gives you an edge over ordinary schmucks.
Are you just jealous that Buckeye football overshadows your Blue Jackets? I don’t understand all of this hatred towards a conservative Christian like Jim Tressel. However, I do have to give you props for the Dimitrious Stanley pimp suit line.
