That'll be Pryor away as well then. Was always on the cards the way things are going but I reckon he could be heading for a shock or two. Don't think he's any wear near ready for it and if anyone does pick him up it'll be a long, long term project. Anyone any thought's where he might end up or even if a change of position could be involved.

In other news;
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110606/..._title_vacated

thoughts? Don't know if that's a good sign or a bad sign for us. Guess we will find out in August.

I think Pryor is going to find himself without the long list of suitors he seems to imagine he'll get. I bet most Buckeye fans will be glad to see that Fickell isn't pandering to Pryor, desperate to get him to return to Columbus. I'm aware Pryor's on-field record is impressive, but the disrespect he's shown to his school, his coaches, his fellow players (who have behaved honestly) and the fans of OSU, and the level of **** which is about to rain down upon them as a result of his actions should be enough to ensure most Buckeyes will be glad to be shot of him.

As for the USC story, I think that should be setting alarm bells off in Columbus right now - BIG time. Make no mistake about it, the NCAA will come down on Ohio State. USC have had their BCS Bowl removed for ONE player violating the school/league rules. Ohio State not only have somewhere in the region of 15 players who have supposedly violated these laws (9 which can be confirmed), but they also tried to cover it up! Not only should the 2002 BCS be revoked, but I'd imagine all of the Big Ten conference wins under Tressel should also be voided. I wouldn't expect it to stop there either...

To be honest, I don't want to see Ohio State slammed too much, and with all of such stories, I think it's a shame that the College are the ones who are tarnished. These guys sign up to play football and receive a scholarship to pay their fees for the most part. They sign contracts which outline these specific rules and are expected to abide by them. They gain no athletic benefit from what they've done, but achieve in damaging the reputation and prospect of their college for years to come. In my eyes, forcing the offending athletes to repay their scholarship in full and punishing the individual who has violated these rules, rather than his institution. The individuals are ultimately responsible for these violations but the college will suffer - it's not right.

Quick question, how many Jets fans are there on here?

***The_Exile*** · 02-07-2011 08:39 PM

Don't follow any particular team in the NFL but have a soft spot for a few, the Jets being one of them, always join in with Fireman Ed....... J E T S JETS JETS JETS.........

Falcons and Lions' away tops are beautiful!

Thank ****** that we DON'T wear soccer type shirts - I'd never buy a Patriots top again

**Haymaker** · 06-07-2011 06:53 PM

Some of those are no bad.

**lugz** · 13-07-2011 02:01 PM

Quick question...Is it any clearer if the regular season is going to go ahead on time?

I'm in America in september and on my way back home I stop in Philadelphia for the day (oct 2nd) when the eagles play the 49ers at Lincoln financial field and I am desperate to take in the game as I have only ever been to 1 NFL game before in the states and it was awesome!! Plus I think the eagles won't be far away this year from going all the way (just my opinion lol)

Any help would be great!

Still a wall of misinformation really, with one side saying the talks are close to a conclusion and the other saying the players still aren't happy:

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/67...talks-new-york

I'm in Florida when the season gets underway and I'm hoping to get to a game when there but I'm in the same position.

Thanks for that, it was Miami I took in my only game in 09, it was against the bills so wasnt the best of teams, Miami won comfortably but the stadium is stunning and the pre and post match parties were amazing.

MNF top 10 on espn for a bit of an NFL fix

**DH1875** · 21-07-2011 07:32 PM

Anyone downloaded the NCAA 12 demo on the PS3?

**DH1875** · 21-07-2011 07:40 PM

Kris Jenkins has retired.

On a good point. We've hired Tom Moore as Offensive Consultant. Let's hope he put's a rocket up Schottenheimer's **** and helps sort out his play calling.

Seriously? Dude your missing out on so much. As well as NCAA/NFL games you get all the other sports like baseball, basketall etc... In fact there's loads of different demo games that you don't get here. All you need is an American account and once you download them you can use your UK account to play them

. All you need is an HD TV.
For my account I live here

YIP. Basically all you have to do is create a new user on your PS3 and then sign up for Playstation Network with a new ID. When it asks your country of residence you just put the United states instead of the UK. Then when you need to put your address in you just find one of google. The only thing is you might need to make a new email address as don't think you can have two ID's on the one email. Use a google one cause they end .com not .co.uk
Once you get your account you can play anything you download on your UK account for as long as you keep your US account.

Hope that makes sence. If not PM me and I'll make you an account.

can you buy the Ncaa game from the PSN store on the us account?

You could but I think you'd need a US bank account. Their straight forward enough to buy though from the UK. The thing is you need a US account register the games, but once you've done that you can use your UK account. Either way you need a US account and like I said before the plus thing is you can download loads of demos, add-ons that you can't get here. At the moment as well as NCAA12 you can download the demos for MLB 11 the show, NBA 2K11 and MLB 2K11 to name but a few.
It only takes 5 mins to create the account and you'll e playing NCAA12 in no time.

Just noticed they got the new Pro Evo demo on there. Can you get it in the UK?

**DH1875** · 21-07-2011 09:43 PM

Apparently the owners have voted in favour of the new CBA (31-0) with the Raiders abstaining... All down to the players now...

When do they vote

***Sylar*** · 22-07-2011 09:59 AM

I'd imagine the player representatives will probably meet today and review the key points from yesterday and vote by this evening. Hopefully, we might have some confirmed football by the end of the weekend, but I can't say I'm holding my breath yet.

Am I right in saying if it's not sorted by next week they are canceling the Wembley game.
