Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

COLUMBUS -- Terrelle Pryor, who announced through his attorney Tuesday that he would bypass his senior season at Ohio State, made thousands of dollars autographing memorabilia in 2009-10, a former friend who says he witnessed the transactions has told "Outside the Lines."

The signings for cash, which would be a violation of NCAA rules, occurred a minimum of 35 to 40 times, netting Pryor anywhere from $20,000 to $40,000 that year, the former friend says. The source spoke to ESPN under the condition that his face not be aired on TV and that his name not be published.

He said Pryor was paid $500 to $1,000 each time he signed mini football helmets and other gear for a Columbus businessman and freelance photographer, Dennis Talbott. Talbott twice denied to ESPN that he ever paid Pryor or any other active Buckeye athlete to sign memorabilia. He said last week he has only worked with former players to set up signings. On Tuesday evening, he declined to comment whether he had ever operated a sports memorabilia business and said he was not an Ohio State booster.

IF that's true he was ineligible for the RB that season. 2 BCS wins possibly erased.


Wow.

And if that is true it makes you really glad he was never a Duck.

I doubt he would have been able to do something like this at Oregon since it would been out so fast and the coaches would have put a stop to it.

Not to say this isn't true but notice it is from a former friend so take it with a grain of salt. Next, he's going to he accused of using puppies for punting practice

The accusation is backed by more than the word of a single source...

The former friend said Pryor would spend his money lavishly at times, that the player had a "shoe fetish" and bought many expensive hats, belts and pieces of jewelry. He said he was particularly fond of Gucci items. ESPN independently confirmed Pryor made multiple such purchases.

And

The parent of one former Ohio State player told "Outside the Lines" that he saw Talbott provide what he called "stacks of money" to active Buckeyes players, including a player now in the NFL.

And Pryor's alleged partner has a credibility problem...

On Tuesday, he denied that he ever received game tickets from players, though records from Ohio State show that he and his wife were on a player's will-call ticket list multiple times throughout the 2008 season. When asked about those records, Talbott said he couldn't remember if he had received such tickets.

Maybe all the charges in the article are false, although I doubt it.

Sharing IS Caring... And Friends Are Better Than Ice Cream.

LMAO that video of TP n Tres as the dumb and dumber movie LMAO.

Hahaha. Love the sign over the doorway.

If income between $35K and $50K is even close to accurate did he declare it on his tax returns and why is his mother paying for the car? Could the IRS be the next to open and investigation?
