If there’s one Ohio State student out there that hates Terrelle Pryor, it’s definitely Todd Boeckman.  Boeckman was the starting quarterback that led the Buckeyes back to the BCS National Championship Game last season and planned on returning to Columbus with his sights set on a return trip to the title game and more importantly, a first round selection in the upcoming NFL Draft.

Many believed the talented Boeckman could provide Ohio State with another stellar year behind center, and that his Draft stock would rise and force teams on the professional level to give him a serious look early on.

As a junior, he took over for Troy Smith and didn’t skip a beat.  He threw for nearly 2400 yards and 25 touchdowns while leading the young Bucks to a Big Ten title, an 11-1 regular season record, and a return trip to the title game.  He probably could have been drafted in the mid to later rounds, but decided to pass on leaving early after his first year as a starter knowing that most of his team would be back, and that they’d have a very reasonable shot at putting up big numbers and capturing the title that would propel him into the early rounds of the 2009 NFL Draft.

The latest scandal involving a talking head stepping over the line features Fox News host John Gibson, who mocked the recent death of Heath Ledger on his radio show.

Gibson, being the upstanding Christian he is, bashed Ledger early and often on his program, playing funeral music in the background while airing clips of the actor’s performance in Brokeback Mountain, poking fun at each one. For example, Ledger’s line in Brokeback Mountain (”I wish I could quit you”) was followed by Gibson’s snarky remark, “Well, he found out how to quit you.”

The talk show host even dealt low-blows towards Ledger’s death during unrelated news pieces, like when talking about the recent stock market drop and the Democratic debate in South Carolina.

Smooth moves, a**hole.
