So Mike,
Does this make Urban Meyer a prospective “cheater” as well (assuming Pouncey took the money before the bowl game)?

Hey Florio,
I suppose you’ll be calling Meyer a “cheater” as well, if it comes out that Pouncey accepted cash before the bowl game, right?
Because if so, then Meyer “should have known about it”, right?
I hope you’ll hold every coach to the same standard.

99% of top-round talent players get deferred credit lines when they’re seniors. Just because they drive an Escalade does not mean they accepted payments from agents.

Lan Man:
I went to a Steelers game at Heinz where they beat New England 34-20 after the Pats scored a TD with about 3 minutes left to make it semi-close. Pittsburgh held them to 5 yds rushing and broke their NFL record 21-game win streak. The Steelers had the ball for over 43 minutes, sacked Brady at least 5 times and ran for 221 yds.
The point is that I didn’t see anyone wearing lingerie.

Who cares? I guess Florio ran out of Ben-built-his-fence-too-high and Ben’s-golf-partner-pissed-in-the-woods stories…..
Pouncey will have 2 SB rings with the Steelers.

As far as I am concerned, the best part of this story is that it gives me an excuse to say “pouncey” again. My favorite PFT word since poopcanned!

You know….I remember reading a mock draft that had the Patriots taking Pouncey in the first round. Figures! Freaking Patriots! Yeah…..that’s it!

When did the Patriots last win the Super Bowl again? Can’t remember. I do remember watching the Ravens dismantle them in the play-offs last year though. It is so over. You can have your Sundays back again.

Ha… Almost as if he knew ahead of time that he’d be drafted by the Steelers and wanted to start getting his criminal behavior rolling early to fit right in with the rest of the crew…

@BlitzburghGator . . . .
Calir was making a somewhat obscure — but nonetheless excellent — reference to Goodfellas, in which some of the participants in the Lufthansa heist ignore Robert DeNiro’s instruction not to make big purchases right after stealing the money. Well done, Calir.

Shocker. The first thing he bought was an Escalade.

“Calir says:

The article clearly said that he bought the Escalade & jewelry after the draft, which was in April.
Nothing to this. He’ll be cleared.
Unfortunately as the previous poster says, that part wont get near the attention that the false accusations did..

this is clearly an underhanded attempt by the cleveland clowns to distract Pouncey . Given that the source is in Canada, and that many browns fans have been forced to move up there to watch what they consider quality football (CFL), I think the case is obvious.

ravens suck says: It’s probably Roethlisbergers fault
That’s not possible- ever. It’s obviously some golddigging slut going by the alias ‘alleged runner’ that’s causing all the probs.

As much as everybody would love for the allegations to be true, no matter how stupid you may think Maurkice is he probably would know better to accept an illegal $100,000 when he was months of way from millions. Haters gon’ hate.

Unfortunately, when Maurkice and Florida’s name are ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing it won’t change the minds of the haters who spend every day just looking for a reason.

It’s probably Roethlisbergers fault..You know, come to think of it, I think I saw Pouncey pissing on the golf course with Roethlisberger..Why don’t you just ban him for 4 games….jeesh.

Still, Schad reports that the Pounceys have provided “phone, bank and credit card statements that do not show large payments.”
=================
Gee- do you think that the agent may have made the illegal payment in CASH?
I guess since Pouncey played for King Meyer and blocked for Prince Tebow, he will get every benefit of the doubt from the media.

It was great listening to Florio push NASCAR and Combos today!! I’m sure he pops Combos like popcorn while cheering on “Junior”

The hypocrisy is astounding. I would love for the Big time athletic schools to withdraw from the NCAA. Everyone knows that CFB & CBB are businesses at the top level.

This just in, Mike & Maurkice Pouncey will also deny that they french kissed during the celebration of Maurkice getting drafted by the Steelers… not that there’s anything wrong with that.
