Reached a plea bargain on his criminal charges. AT LEAST three years in the Big House. No link yet. Just heard it over the radio. P.S. - First one to correct me on the title to this thread get scrubbed-down with Warren Sapp's loofa.
What a fool....... Clarett to plead guilty in criminal cases. NFL.com wire reports COLUMBUS, Ohio (Sept. 18, 2006) -- Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett agreed to plead guilty to aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. The deal would send him to prison for at least 3 1/2 years and end two criminal cases against him. The agreement was announced by Judge David Fais on the day jury selection was to begin in a case in which Clarett is accused of holding up two people outside a bar. The concealed weapon charge was from his August arrest after a highway chase with police who found four loaded guns in Clarett's sport utility vehicle after they spiked the tires. Police used pepper spray to subdue and handcuff Clarett, who was wearing a bulletproof vest. The deal called for a 7 1/2-year sentence with release possible after 3 1/2 years. The 22-year-old player also agreed to serve five years of probation after the prison sentence. Clarett said he understood he was pleading guilty and reversing his earlier innocent plea. "I'd like to apologize for my behavior, and I accept the time that was given to me," he said. After the deal was announced, he looked over at his mother who was sobbing and holding his 8-week-old daughter while sitting next to his girlfriend.
Wasn't there a thread in the BS forum about who was the biggest waste of his talent (Tyson, Strawberry, Gooden)? To me, this guy is miles ahead of Strawberry in that regard, although he does have something in common with Tyson and Gooden (striped shirts, that is). Unlike all of those guys, however, Carlett [sic] threw it all away after getting virtually nothing out of his talent.
:lol: Nice hint shmuck. I didn't realize that was meant to be a joke. Who made the original topic about the way back? I forgot...
I'd have to say I agree. Maurice Clarett didn't even get to play a single down of football in the NFL. At least guys like Straw and Gooden got to the top before they flushed it. It's easy for us to forget that Mo Carlett played only ONE year of college football. That just boggles the mind. If I were the head coach of a Division 1A program, I'd sit all my recruits in a room the very first day of practice, and I'd tell them all the story of Mo Carlett, and how he was the steal of the draft.
Can't you edit titles? I've done it all the time. GO edit- advance. Not that there is anything wrong with your title of course.
