Willy was a harsh taskmaster, the things he did to them with the jawbreakers. Just terrible

[Owlman]

sort of agree with Dez Bryant here:

"Hell yeah, I’ll be mad," Bryant said, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I will be mad. But I don’t want him to get suspended. I will be mad more at the NCAA on how they do things. I just feel like it’s not fair. This is something I have no problem talking about because I feel like somebody needs to say something to him and let it be known how they treat people is not right."

and

..."He should be able to sign as many autographs and make as much money as he wants, because it’s his name," Bryant said to the Star-Telegram. "I feel like he’s the one who created it. He should be able to do whatever he feels as long as it’s legal and I don’t think there’s anything illegal about signing a picture of yourself and making money off himself. Shoot, the NCAA is making money off of it when they’re selling those No. 2 shirts. Why can’t he make a little bit of money off of it?"

What if the kid wrote a computer program and sold it for $20M?

what if he wrote a computer program that did college football analysis and sold it for $20m?

Actually, we're checking into this. My son is looking to create a new operating system. Question is, can he patent it as a computer science student in school? Different schools have different rules about that sort of thing.

as a general student? How can the school lay any claim to intellectual property?

now as a paid student working for a prof - thats a different story

That being said, I agree with Dez Bryant. Manziel should be punished much more than Dez. But prospectively, there should be a little more leniency.

The argument is that anything related to school property, or use is there's per the fine print in the school catalog which all students don't realize they've agreed to in attending the university.

I thought AJ Green got 4 games for signing one jersey & gettin paid? I'm assuming he must have denied it and was caught in a lie ?

What turned Spacer into a bitter old prick? The Astros?

[Owlman]

Once you sass Pete Rose, it's all related as far as Rat is concerned...

Rat = the Batman of Pete Rose

Looking for attention again?

Damn, that looked deliberate...

[crotch]

Doubt that... You can see a Colts helmet behind her as she's getting thumped. The guy behind her that the pass was intended for may have deliberately let the ball hit her though.

Is Luck #5?

[sardis]

Not on that day.

[Bklyn]

Heh

[Owlman]

Texans fan but if Antonio Smith is suspended for a couple regular season games, it's deserved. You rip the helmut off and then swing it in the guy's face.
