Either option 3 or 4. Is he good enough for any CFL team?

Wayne Gretzky coming up on the Dan Patrick Show. Should be a good interview.

Pryor could play for the semi-pro Tennessee Crush.
It might be a good lifestyle fit if nothing else.
Here's a headline taken from the website of Crush corporate colleague BMW of Chattanooga:
"Local Semi-Pro Football Teams Up With BMW Dealership"
Boosters? Who needs boosters? Get your milk directly from the cow.
Bonus nugget: there's a Tweet on the front page of the Crush website stating that all practices in the month of May are mandatory.
You go, Crush. Make men out of 'em, ya hear?

Pryor was heavily recruited by Penn State, and it came down to the Nittany Lions and Ohio State as the final 2. At the time, I was not happy that he went to OSU, but in light of subsequent events, he is one that Joe Pa is quite happy to see somewhere else. The car dealer might say that there were no special deals, but when was the last time you took the word of a used car dealer? The OSU program is dirty, and the sooner the NCAA comes down hard on them, the better off college football will be.

Living in Columbus right now, for TP's sake, I hope not in the state of OH. There is an intense hatred for the man right now.
But he'll go to the NFL. He's got too much physical talent not to; I don't expect him to be a QB but Jerrah Jones or Al Davis will salivate at the thought of turning him into a WR/TE.

NFL labor negotiations are all transparent and above-board.

Speaking of the NFL, there's a rumor starting to make the rounds in Panthersland that they may end up in Los Angeles.

First order of business for Shanny? Figure out how to deal with that punk Burroughs' bite of an opponent's finger. Such a conundrum-so much to respect and admire about that Canucks team, but one punk makes them hateable. Kinda like the Avs circa the late 90's with Claude Lemieux.

If he didn't want his finger bit he shouldn't have stuck it in Burrows mouth.

As a Bruins fan, I have to agree with rumple. It's hockey. Never understand why people get so fired up about biting when it happens all the time (e.g., football pigpiles).
