Looks like the Colts have hired Jim Tressel. Something tells me he won't receive the same treatment as Pryor.

Has there been a creepier Single White Female character in sports recently? He's been skulking around pro days, team practices, probably locker room showers waiting for someone to give him a job like he's owed one. Great point about how ESPN won't be running hours of coverage suggesting he might be stupid too.

And if so (I agree with you that he won't face a suspension), I hope TP uses that in his appeal/lawsuit against the league for discrimination. Just to humble the league.

From what I've read, his job will be one day per week (game day) to watch the televised game and advise the coaching staff whether or not to challenge a call. How long he will last at this will be determined by his success rate. I'm setting the over-under on incorrect challenges (before he is fired) at 4 1/2, and I'll take the under.

On the plus side (I guess), the Colts have now suspended Tressel for the first 6 games to match Pryor's suspension.
