Cold day for Frost

Marcel Frost was suspended Wednesday for the entire 2006 season.

Ohio State tight end Marcel Frost was suspended for the upcoming season for violating team rules.

Athletic department officials declined to comment on the nature of the violation. Frost will remain on scholarship and will be eligible to rejoin the team next season, school spokesman Dan Wallenberg said Wednesday.

Yet another suspension for the Buckeyes, who just can’t seem to shake their off the field troubles.

Maurice Clarett arrested . . . again

Maurice Clarett was arrested again after making an illegal U-turn and having four illegal firearms in his SUV.

Clarett was Maced after a stungun was ineffective as he tried to resist arrest. Sgt. Michael woods told The AP that Clarett was wearing a bullet-proof vest.

Woods said, “It took several officers to get him handcuffed. Even after he was placed in the paddy wagon, he was still kicking at the doors and being a problem for the officers.”

Clarett was interviewed by police, who plan to charge him on multiple counts including concealed weaponry.

The former 2002 Fiesta Bowl standout was driving east on Interstate 70 when police pursued him. He then sped across the median and headed west. That’s when state trooper placed a spike strip on the highway, which flattened Clarett’s SUV tires.

Clarett eventually pulled into a restaurant, where officers forced him out of his vehicle after he failed to listen to orders. Woods said they found the handguns as they searched the vehicle although police are not sure who own them.

What is wrong with this guy? Loaded guns and a bullet-proof vest? This is pathetic.

Tribe ties it, loses it

Just as the offense fought back to tie it, the bullpen from hell ruined what could have been a nice comeback by the Tribe., who fell to L.A of Anaheim 5-4 at the Jake. The Angels built a 4-0 lead midway through the game off Jeremy Sowers with the help of home runs by Vladmir Guerrero and Garret Anderson. The Indians then responded with four in the sixth to tie it up. Grady Sizemore started the rally with a home run. Shin-Soo Choo then doubled to score one and Hector Luna singled to score two more. Exit Sowers, enter Rafael Betancourt. After allowing two baserunners, Betancourt gave up the eventual winning run on an Adam Kennedy base hit.

“[The bullpen] has had its difficulties,” Wedge said.

Ya think! Boy, if that isn’t the understatement of the year.

OSU line to lead the way

The Ohio State Buckeyes are ranked number one in the nation. The papers and talk shows continue to focus on Troy Smith and Ted Ginn Jr. The conversation is usually describing how these two superstars will lead the Buckeyes to the Championship game.

The real key to Ohio State’s success will be the experience on the offensive line. Doug Datish will be at center, with fifth year senior T.J. Downing and sophomore Alex Boone bringing experience and size to the group. This experience and size will allow Smith to run a high powered offense that will be one of the best in the country.

If Ohio State’s line plays to their potential, the Bucks should find themselves playing in the final Bowl game of the season.

Addition by subtraction

The Cleveland Cavaliers took the first step in becoming a nationally recognized organization. Ronnie “Slam” Duncan was released as the PA announcer. If I had a dollar for every mistake Duncan made during the course of a game, I’d be living on easy street. The Cavs are drawing national attention and need to eliminate the childish drama that Duncan put into every sentence. This is another example of a Cleveland sports team leaving the past behind them.
