Yeah, I'd say the only comparison I could think of in NFL history is Marinovich. Both guys with so much natural talent they got chance after chance after chance even though everyone knew their off-field lives were disastrous.
Well Art is out. Can he fly straight? At age 61, having been in and out of prison for decades, you’d think he’d had enough.
I'd bet my money that whatever led him to go so hard sideways, it's baked into his DNA. I'd hate to find myself in a position to count on a guy like that, for anything.
By decade do you past 18 months? Or ten years?

Nephew of NFL greats was won over by Steve Sarkisian’s vision.
By Nick Moyle STAFF WRITER
Texas didn't need to be “back” to convince Ewers to bolt for Austin. It didn't need to challenge for a national title or even compete in a single College Football Playoff to be deemed worthy by Manning. And apparently, beating Big 12 doormat Kansas is no longer a prerequisite to signing a top-five recruiting class, as the Longhorns did in 2022 despite last year's occasionally surreal campaign.
And while name, image and likeness (NIL) opportunities at Texas have played a role in other recent signings, Manning comes with built-in celebrity. The money and endorsements follow him, not vice-versa. No, this was strictly a football decision.
It's hard to believe this sort of recruiting magic could exist anywhere but Texas, which has produced just one season of double-digit wins (10-4 in 2018) after reeling off nine straight from 2001-09. This might be even harder to believe: Since 2014, Texas has more top-10 recruiting classes (five) than winning seasons (four).
Like Del Conte, Manning has bought into Sarkisian's vision.
Selling hope to a recruit of Manning's caliber probably wouldn't have worked anywhere else. But Texas isn't really like anywhere else. Now, with six months left before the early signing period, it just has to prove to Manning that his faith wasn't misplaced.
This decade began in 2021. Pretty dumb if that’s your intent to focus on last 18 months.
Inadvertently, I guess you could also say that he also "took down" the legendary Woody Hayes. Schlichter was the Buckeye QB who throw the infamous interception against Clemson in the 1978 Gator Bowl that ended with Hayes slugging the Clemson player who had made the pick, thus ending Hayes's coaching career.
Wow…..what an interesting “career.” That guy’s story is just crazy all the way through.
Wanna bet?
Hey, I'd bet on rabbits if you could get 'em organized.
Hopefully spinal stenosis isn’t part of his future.
You would completely [ Finebaum ] your pants if TCU had an LSU 2019 season, what a stupid comment.
