I do hope that I am not giving the vibe of trashing OJ, that is not my intention. It is just that I believe that anyone that is not only his age but has been in the limelight as long as he has should know that by not standing up and taking responsiblity for his actions is doing themselves no good at all. And I just feel that it is wrong that Patterson, he seemed to be nothing but a class act during that whole incident, was not nearly as vigorously defended when he had to sit out last year for his two technicals. Rules should be enforced across the board equally, once again only my view.

:thumb: :thumb: I certainly didn't take your post like that. I knew what you meant. Basically the same thing that I was trying to get across in my earlier post.

Thanks for the support, just not wanting to get off on the wrong foot with anybody, well, for the most part, haha.

I just now noticed you number of post. Welcome to the site :thumb: and to the nuthouse.

Thank you, looking forward to many spirited discussions.

I'm glad, Mayo seems like a someone who thinks he is better than everyone else and doesn't have to play by the rules. He might be a great ball player but he has a horrible attitudes.

You don't know what you are talking about you obviously don't know him...

You Rookie you

I may not know Mayo but his actions speak volumes. He has the two technical fouls, he has been suspended for three games at HHS and he was suspended last year while in Ohio. You can surmise from all of this that his attitude is less than good, plain and simple.

Through the years we have had literally hundreds of threads on Mayo. It is interesting that the small group who actually know him rarely say anything negative about him. It is equally interesting that most of those who judge him harshly and relate what he "should" and "should not" do are usually those who only know him through reading the opinions of others of like mind who also like to find fault.

 

As for Patterson not being "defended" as is Mayo, I would point out that Patterson isn't the primetimer.

 

But, then, we all see situations differently. Actually, I never thought of Ashland as a "mecca" of talent of any kind- athletic or otherwise.

Maybe not this year but he certainly was the "primetimer" last year. But then again maybe Patterson showed his maturity by accepting his punishment and not trying to tie it up in court procedings and media hype. Hmmm.....

As I read your first paragraph, the name Bobby Knight jumped to mind as that those close to him in his last days at IU said very similar words.

 

Not sure what that means just an observation.

 

And I am one of those parties that you mention. Never seen him play a single second of my life. Saw him once sitting in the stands on tv during the KState/X game. That is the only time I have seen him visually.

 

His actions of jumping from school to school, the suspensions towards the end of the season last year, the taunting involved in this situation, sure doesn't paint a rosy picture. Nothing to put him in the same ranks of the Bengals by any stretch of the imagination. But does through up red flags all around.

Wow, you must not know Ashland very well. Let me help a little bit. We have this guy from Ashland who won the Cy Young in the National League last year, I think his name is Brandon Webb. Umm, oh, Arliss Beach is with the Green Bay Packers, looking good for being on the active roster next year.

There is a former UK great named Larry Conley who is doing ok for himself, we have two major league umpires, and beyond athletics we have the lovely Ashley Judd so for a little ole' town we are pretty talented overall. And God knows that just having OJ and company in Ashland for two years should be enough to count for something, right?

Did you say something besides Ashley Judd. You had me at Ashley Judd.

He is over rated anyways, go to another thread...ooohh he can dunk a ball. 6'4 jumpers are a dime a dozen in the NBA. I cant wait to see him transition from mega star to wanna be Point Guard for the worst team in the league but then again you OJEHOVAH worshippers probably thinks that he is better than Lebron or Allen Iverson. I hope he does well but dont see it happpening. Patterson has a better shot a stardom in the NBA than OJ does. Hyped up like many others in the last 12 years.
