    Ever since we started thinking that we were the San Franscico 49ers, and took on a white-collar mentality ... we have sucked big time.

    Thanks Carmen Policy! How's that vineyard coming along?

    Sounds a little roidy too, doesn't it? Or even methy.

    I'm sure everyone is going to wait on the toxicology reports for ol' Alex. Whatever he was on, his draft stock just fell like a rock.

    I do agree. The "Don" did put us on a path towards quiche and away from kishka.

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

    Guys, you can believe that NFL owners really want to spend their money on is a guy who goes out and gets plowed (or whatever), starts breaking shit, and then fights with the cops so much that they've got to taser him, because that shows what a badass he is, or something, but I'd think you'd be mistaken.

    Any draft prospect who behaves like this so close the day that determine his future in the NFL is an automatic red flag, because it shows a serious lack of maturity, and maybe more. Every NFL team is going to be wondering, "If he can't contain himself in the lead up to the draft, when can he contain himself?" To say nothing of the fact that most NFL prospects are working their asses off at a training camp right now, not drunk and hiding from the cops under a stranger's patio.

    It was coke allegations (though there were pot allegations too). I just watched his NFL Films half hour with Steve Sabol on Sapp (one on one interview for a half hour) a week ago. They spent a lot of time talking about it and both talked how it was the coke rumor that scared teams off. Still, what does that have in common with what Boone just did?

    Draft stock just dropped like a frickin' rock....NFL teams over the past several years have taken a "don't be the Bengals" mentality. Guys of his size and skills are a dime a dozen these days...if you think that teams aren't gonna pass on him now, you're crazy! I think that it is sad that guys like this don't have better people around him to put the brakes on and say, "Dude, do you really want to piss(literally, seeing that he was drunk) away a couple million bucks?" Boone was projected as a third to fourth round pick and we all know that with the RIGHT people around him preparing him for combines and pro days, he could've easily moved up into the late second or early third...not so much any more. He could come out and bench 500 lbs 10x and isn't gonna see his name until the 6th or 7th at least. I wish him the best and believe that everyone should get a second chance...really hope that he gets his head on straight and redeems himself.

    This begs to ask the question...what the hell is going on w/our so-called future role models, ie Phelps too! Plenty of time to hit the pipe and pound the brown bottle later in life, make your millions first and enjoy your retirement/wild days later!!!

    Warren Sapp was a lot better than this cat too. he went from maybe #1 to where?? Maybe 15 that year?

    Boone was a 5th-6th rounder anyway...if that....he needs to be able to spell Canada.

    This is not the first time Boone has had issues with drinking. He's never lived up to his billing. It's too bad, because he is a very talented football player. Maybe he'll be able to conquer his demons, but at this point I would stay away from him.

    Also, I thought his stock may have risen after the Texas game, considering Orakpo's did nothing against the Bucks.

    Didn't Ryan Tucker beat the shit out of some guy, nearly killing him, when he was in college? He still managed to get drafted in the 4th round, and what he did was far worse than what Boone did.

    the thing that is hurting boone the most is the fact that in 3 straight bcs games the defensive ends from the other teams were running around him. it seemed that they knew the snap count more than he did. he just isn't fast and mobile enough

    Could someone please tell me why in the world OSU's line is even getting a sniff in the draft?! Everygame the past two seasons when we faced a dominant(dominant in the college ranks translates into average in the NFL) D-line, OSU got their asses handed to them. Yes, they have great size...but, these clowns couldn't muster much of anything in several games this season, ala USC, PSU, LSU last year(just off the top of my head). If all of these guys are supposedly going to be playing on Sundays, then surely they should have just manhandled their opponents as a unit...I personally can't point to one game last year and say that they absolutely dominated the opposition. I certainly don't want to see Boone dawning the brown and orange anytime soon...get me some guys w/their heads on straight that actually did something against their adversaries in the collegiate level that don't have a drinking problem and aren't overhyped just because of their size. What ever happened to drafting FOOTBALL PLAYERS???

    While Boone was most certainly an underachiever at OSU, he still was the team's best lineman while he was there. The issue on the line was the putrid play of Steve Rehring and Bryant Browning, and also the fact that highly touted guys like Connor Smith weren't good enough to supplant any of them. Even Jim Cordle, who was marginal at best at center, was moved to guard to get Mike Brewster involved. We'll see what Mike Adams and JD Shugarts bring to the table with a year under their belt and being healthy.

    OSU's line troubles have been glaring since the National Championship season and most of those guys are still playing on Sundays. It's beginning to look like a scheme issue there or something with Jim Bollman (Ashtabula Harbor grad) the oline coach and O coordinator---even though Jim T calls the plays. It's like they just expect to blow people off the ball and never do it. I've always maintained that they don't come off the ball low enough looking to drive block, and many times it's because of the height. Wells made them look good this year.

    The speed issue in the last two title games was all on the coaching. They made no adjustments whatsoever to give Boone and Barton a chance. I agree they are both not the quickest but Boone will be a RT in the NFL anyway. He was a big time recruit and goof coming out but for the most part handled himself well at OSU, otherwise Jim T would have cracked down on his ass.

    It was definitely a stupid mistake by a big, dumb oaf who can't handle his liquor at times. Certainly no excuse for it, but he's also not Jack the Ripper either and will definitely learn his lesson from this. I wouldn't be surprised if Jim T leads the way to get him some alcohol counseling and he will probably clean up his act pretty well coming into the league.

    This is a fooked up opinion, but I see a guy getting into trouble like this before the draft as a guy who will come into the league cleaned up already, whereas many just haven't been caught yet and are still getting away with their shenanigans. Boone would be a good pick in the 5th round as someone to groom at RT. Good NFL coaching can make him a viable player within a few years, he has the definite size and is somewhat athletic.

    Is a pig's ass pork?
