Safe to say neither were too excited.
Holmes:
"Flat out ridiculous, I can honestly say that. To put yourself in that kind of situation, you just don’t do it. I don’t know the facts, I don’t know what happened. Why? That’s all I can ask, why? At this point you don’t go on doing anything to jeopardize your career and right now that’s pretty much what’s happened with those guys."
Mangold:
"It’s disappointing, it’s a shame and it hurts the program, puts us in a bad light and as a former player you don’t like seeing that. (Never heard of anyone selling team memorabilia), especially not your gold pants. You don’t part way with those, that’s just bad."
Says the man who is one puff away from a year-long NFL suspension for repeat drug offenses? Yes, marijuana prohibition is stupid, but it's your job, man. Really missing him in Pittsburgh this year.
Holmes? Really? From what I can recall, at least he waited until after he was done at tOSU until he got into trouble.
At least Holmes was smart enough to avoid going the Pittman or Gibson route and fan the flames.
Pittman or Gibson? I saw a NY article regarding Gibson being told not to sell anything, what did Pittman do?
Pittman tweeted "This OSU stuff is silly. Cats been gettin hookups on tatts since back in 01". Gibson was more benign. Just saying the guys knew better because it was discussed in meetings etc.
Just shows how far Michigan has fallen. Gold pants are selling at a discounted price these days. Supply and demand homie.
LOL, Tampa. Right, the market is flooded with those things. I think I saw a pair on closeout at K-Mart.
The Tat5 obviously didn't attend their economics class. Buy Low, Sell High, guys.
Class of 2010
And they obviously didn't read the first section of the "Winner's Manual" where it talks about TEAM and not the individual. But whatever. I get tattoos at a discounted rate. And I have traded an XBOX ELITE for ink before. The tattoos were not the issue. That just made things worse. If it were just about the tattoos, it would even be news.
