On Sunday night, Terrelle Pryor hit another speedbump on the highway to becoming the Lebron James of football. But this one had nothing to do with his obvious deficiencies as a college quarterback. On the way to the team’s Rose Bowl dinner, Pryor was kindly informed he would not be attending.
Jim Tressel Is A Classy Guy, Jim Tressel Is A Classy Guy
↵From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer:
↵↵Pryor said he showed up ready to board the team bus in jeans, and the Buckeyes went on without him.
↵“They were nice jeans,” Pryor said. “But Coach Tress is a classy guy.”
↵“I just didn’t think it should have been a big deal about it,” Pryor said. “Some of my teammates said [the event] wasn’t as classy as it was supposed to be. But Coach Tress is a classy guy, and what he wants we have to do. We just forgot our pants. Nothing against the team or anything like that. I apologize to the team ... I’m kind of mad we missed a good meal, a free meal at that.”
↵↵Don’t you sense a little Stockholm syndrome creeping in here? From Wikipedia:
↵↵Stockholm syndrome is a psychological response sometimes seen in abducted hostages, in which the hostage shows signs of loyalty to the hostage-taker, regardless of the danger or risk in which they have been placed.
↵↵Indeed, aside from Tressel’s annoying dress code, he’s also been holding Pryor hostage for two years with his inane playcalling. And yet, there’s Pryor, empty and broken, blinking a lot, and repeating it like a mantra: “Coach Tress is a classy guy. What he wants, we have to do. Coach Tress is a classy guy.”
↵When you see Pryor pop up in a sweater vest at the NFL draft, don’t say you weren’t warned.
