Maurice Clarett speaks to Vols

[bray2milton]

Colin Cowherd was on the radio one day and was talking about how it's plain stupid to have guys like Peyton Manning or Tom Brady come talk to new rookie players before summer camps start. People were mad because the NFL wanted Packman Jones to give a speech to all the NFL rookies. The best lessons learned in life are those learned from someone who massively screwed up. Manning and Brady are perfect role models, but Packman can really teach you what not to do because he did it. I just though this story went hand in hand with what you were saying.

Pac Man Jones LOL. My money says he has learned jack squat from his past transgressions. The guy is literally retarded. Dwayne Goodrich would be a guy that could really paint a picture of what happens when you don't THINK about your actions.

LT was messing with a 16 year old hooker who blabbed on him.

I cannot believe that a 16 year old in such a prestigious career field would be untrustworthy. It boggles the mind really.

I think we need stalworth to teach them about drinking and driving. No hate. I really think we should

I believe this topic is being covered by Leonard Little.

Do you need a hug or something?

Good to see Maurice has his life on the right track now. I thought he'd wind up dead with the way things were going, but I'm glad I was wrong.

 

[ShoalCreekVol]

My first reaction on seeing the tweet was "depends HEAVILY on what message".....

Glad to see him turning it around and doing positive things.

 

[LotteryPick]

He was on ESPN talking about it

I stand corrected. My apologies.

 

[knoxvols11]

Tennessee need Lawrence Phillips to drop by and talk to the team!

Needs him to suit up!

 

[99probsbutchaint1]

Great move by Butch. Good life lesson to be learned from him.

No homo?

 

[GBO97]

How about our own eff ups. We have a long list to choose from. Banks, Nuke, Morley, Creer, Coker...

Hookers just can't keep their mouth shut...

 

[knoxvols11]

Who all watched the 30 for 30 on him? It put me in a different perspective.

 

[1972 Grad]

Lawrence of Arabia? I think he died though.

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Lawrence of Arabia? I think he died though.

After that comment, all I can think about now is Sam Kinison's rant on world hunger.

 

[gunner]

Spider-Man?

 

[Biopsyman]

Andy Geiger Screwed him- Mess with the bull, you get the horns

 

[GOATeric14berry]

Wasn't his 40 time the worst by a Rb ever

 

[GrowVol]

Who all watched the 30 for 30 on him? It put me in a different perspective.

Yep, same here...

 

[jimallvol]

Man he was a beast at Ohio st. If he didn't screw up there's no telling how good he could have been

 

[Roustabout]

Who all watched the 30 for 30 on him? It put me in a different perspective.

I did. And, yes.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

No but it was probably the worst showing for a RB at a combine, ever. Clarett was a quick man in his prime. Even before the 2005 draft he was running a 4.6. Story goes he put on some bad weight and in the process of trimming down his body fat % lost some of that explosiveness.

 

[lexkyvol]

Glad to see him turning his life around

best post

This. Dude just got used to all the yes men in his life and let himself get carried away.

Literally could happen to any of us in that same situation.

Bravo to him for trying to turn it around.
