How ironic! Yesterday, the Republican leaders of our state government -- Gov. John Kasich, House leader Bill Batchelder, and Senate leader Tom Niehaus, the guys who locked the Statehouse doors while jamming the anti-union Senate Bill 5 down our throats -- held a press conference to announce that they were suddenly willing to renegotiate and compromise on SB 5, if only the opposition group We Are Ohio would first pull its SB 5 repeal referendum (Issue 2) off the fall ballot. We Are Ohio and union leaders said they'd be happy to yank Issue 2 and talk things over, if only the Republicans would first pass legislation to completely kill SB 5. Ha-ha! Bite me, John-Boy!
Yesterday also brought news of a brewing scandal at the University of Miami. Yahoo Sports reported that both the Hurricane football and basketball programs have for years been absolutely awash in booster cash, recruiting violations, and a multitude of NCAA infractions, and many Miami higher ups were well aware of it. Ironically, despite all the unfair advantage, the recent-vintage Hurricanes have consistently fielded mediocre teams.
And today the NFL announced that ex-OSU quarterback Terrelle Pryor will be eligible for the league's supplemental draft. Before "Tattoo-gate", Pryor was generally thought of as Mr. Clean. Afterward, his sins began to surface and he bolted for the NFL, but it was too late for the regular draft. He petitioned for entry via the supplemental, selling league officials that he'd been cheating and breaking NCAA rules for so long, he'd be eternally ineligible, so they may as well let him turn pro. Ironic! They bought it.
