This is exactly why parents need to teach their kids the importance of who you hang out with....I still feel lucky that I never got in trouble when hanging around people in high school who also played sports but I didnt realize what they were up too
I was lucky when I was in high school. I had a good group of friends, we weren't perfect, we drank and smoked pot. We partied a little bit but we didn't do anything destructive. None of us were athletes persay but we were musicians who played soccer and I played youth basketball. I couldn't pass my freshman physical to play football or any sports due to a spinal issue. My group of friends kept each other out of trouble, if someone screwed up we made sure they didn't get in trouble. I still remember, my senior year of high school our homecoming party had the cops show up twice, looking for a missing freshman girl who was at the party, I didn't know who she was but when they came the second time we left but my friend who was driving said, "I"m not sure if I should be driving and everyone in the truck agreed we should pull over off the main road and just sleep in the truck." Good friends take care of each other.
I agree with you but that isn't his only issue here. You don't just wind up around robberies all of the time because of your friends. At some point you need to think about this harder and realize this dude was up to bad shit all the time, unfortunately.
@@TitleTalkTCL Well ya obviously. It just makes it worse when like minded people that do stupid shit hangout with each. Have you ever met a parent who thinks that her little johnny is absolute angel but just got caught up hanging around "the wrong people" but in reality it was little johnny who was the bad one talking the crew into doing stupid shit? LOL Most parents are just out of touch with reality and its sad to see
Man he was one of my favorite quarterbacks in college football growing up. It aucks that he ruined hia career and ruined his future of playing in the NFL but hey at least he's having a great career in the CFL
Played a long time in the CFL. What Masoli taught me is you have to stop before you leave a residence or a business. Stop right before you begin driving on the street. Look around, proceed onto that street when it's safe.
@@prufrokwell sometimes nfl teams do dirty things. like there was a QB my brother played with, top 5 qb in the state. Steelers brought him out n stuff n i can’t remember exactly what kinda contract they signed but basically no other team could have him an option hey basically did it so no other team could have him. so he went to the AFL n did really well won a ring, set some records. he did that everywhere he went it was crazy. has record n rings in HS, College, then there
Jeremiah was actually on the football team the Edmonton Eskimos which are now called the Edmonton Elks and then he played for an Eternity for Hamilton Tigers Cats, now he's with the Ottawa Red Blacks. Obviously, I'm a Canadian citizen.
Masoli obviously could have made better decisions but putting that kid in a catch 22 was a dirty move by the DA. Dude knew he didn't have enough for robbery to stick but wanted that W enough to force a false confession. That's stat padding, not justice.
Masoli was one of the main reasons why Marcus Mariota chose Oregon! Masoli was the QB at St.Louis High School in Hawaii. Same high school Marcus attended and played QB at. Marcus was inspired because both were Polynesian QBs. Marcus committed to Oregon partly because of Masoli! Marcus wore the #8 in high school and at Oregano because of Jeremiah Masoli.
@@andrewekstrom7919 was hoping he was going to be a beast for my A-State Red Wolves when he transferred there in 2012, as we were coming off of a 10 win season, but nah...dude got kicked off the team.
I don’t want to hear you apologizing for laying the foundation in the beginning, good points being made Talk that talk brother!!!! You’re doing better journalism than most
Hey Matt! Can you do what happened to Daryll Clark video (former Penn State QB)? That would be a perfect video. The man went 22-4 as a starter and won a big ten championship. Played in the rose bowl. Finished in the top 10 both seasons, he was the starter. And he barely gets a mention among top PSU QBs. In fact, still run into fans who wish Devlin got more of a look.
Another banger. Truly does always make my days a little bit better. I advocate for an Eric Crouch vid under pretty much every new upload so here's a fun tidbit: Masoli and Manziel were on the TiCats roster at the same time for a brief period AND Masoli and Crouch were on the same roster for the Omaha Nighthawks in 2011!

Entitlement & ego are very dangerous for a young man. There is a reason you see a lot of high level athletes fall into this BS. No one around them is willing to call them out in their actions.
He tried to be gangster and he got caught doing gangster things. I don't think he even understood what entitlement was or meant. Product of environment and very poor choices. Literally paved the way for mariotas camp/family protecting him and not following this path
@@joshthom1937 dude it’s such a weird concept a lot of these dudes have like they aren’t even from the streets or thugs but get away from home and all the sudden they wanna be a gangster I’ve seen it 100s of times as a college strength coach. It’s actually scary a certain demographic of young men feel like they have to be a criminal or thug to fit in. Weird af.
@bc5208 that's completely it. He wasn't trying to be extreme or get real street cred just caught up trying to impress sone low level delinquents he was around. I'm it's Eugene ,Oregon and he's hottest name om campus. Does he really need to but weed? No he's actually trying to sell low level amounts. Driving around with no license,weed,and a scale..for what? Oh yeah to look cool. Tragic story and just needed better guidance and role models around him
@@joshthom1937 yeah it’s honestly weird af because a lot of the men in that community from about age 14 have the “can’t nobody tell me nuffin” mindset so it’s almost impossible to try and guide them at all. Let alone being a star athlete on top of it having everyone telling him how great he was. Bro probably thought he was untouchable. Lmao like imagine being the star, starting QUARTERBACK for a major power five university and your mindset is “yeeeee bruh, let me go out and sell some weed… matter a fact.. let me drive around with it in my car with no license and paraphernalia too…” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 like wtf type of mindset is that??? Where do you even develop that logic???
Correct but these young men are 1 or 2 years out of childhood Fr. Taking away their rights to play over a small incident like this is foolish and in fact more so entitlement.
Hey Matt, Can you please give me a story on Antonio Alfano. At one point he was the #1 player for the class of 2019 (with guys like Spencer rattler, Kyle Hamilton, etc in the same class), the next thing you know, he never played a single snap in college football
The Edmonton eskimos are not a college football team, they are part of the CFL (which is where he ended up after not taking a d1 snap of college football)
I would never plead guilty to shit I didn’t do. I don’t care if I was facing jail. The perception of your character would harm you more. I work for everything I have and I’m proud of that. Plus they literally had no proof because no one, even the guy that had the stuff stolen said he saw Masoli with it.
I graduated high school in 2010 (Mortimer Jordan HS in Kimberly, AL). The college I went to was Jacksonville State, so my first ever college game that I watched as a student was JSU-Ole Miss week 1 of 2010. I distinctly remember talking to people around campus about awesome, however unlikely, it would be if we upset Ole Miss. When I saw that we were down at halftime, I thought we were done. I stopped keeping track of the game. Fast forward and I get a text excited about the Gamecocks. I check and the game was heading into OT. I definitely paid attention after that lol. I remember the game-winning 2 point conversion in double-OT being the most broken play ever, but it worked lol. That’s how I remember Jeremiah Masoli lol. GO GAMECOCKS!
Man as a third grader seeing this dude play made me an Oregon fan. Had his sport illustrated poster on my wall I was a huge fan sad to see that it played out the way it did for him
Thanks @mattbegreat for an amazing story this guy was a great Athlete I really wish he could’ve made better choices but the fact that he’s still playing is amazing
I was in a nightclub with this guy, my cousin and his whole entourage him and some guy got into it and I know everybody was fighting all these big ass. Samoans were knocking people out and I’m watching masoli punch this guys face in it was crazy!!
I remember how tough and quick he was and even back when he was number 2 and not 8...as a duck fan when it all came out it was beyond heart breaking and awful..the team he was on took us to the Rosebowl for the first time in 15 years he was a big deal...but yea crazy stuff indeed...

I plead guilty to a robbery I didn’t do at the end of highschool. I lost all of my scholarships. I didn’t steal a thing but the 2 guys I was with took a PlayStation from a house they use to live at. I didn’t want to risk the 2-10 years and took the plea bargain to stay out of prison and not have a felony. I feel exactly what he did!
@@gen-xboomer that’s exactly what I said!! You face the possibility of going to prison or being a free person at 18 years old and you would do the same thing! You obviously haven’t been I that situation. I have to live with that decision everyday! You act like it’s not true yet it happens to people more than you know obviously.
Hell yea. The hype was real for us. Hearing a good ol Houston Nutt motivational and calling for redemption was enough for me. 'We're in the biz of heppin people'. HDN could put a positive spin on anything. I have always willingly drank the kool-aid.. Years before with Brent Schaeffer, and then the year after with Randall Mackey. But this was a bigger hype for us- a guy that already graced the cover of S.I., around the time Jevan did. He completely balled against LSU. If they don't flag Markeith Summers for diving into the end zone, we win in Death Valley, and then carry momentum to a bowl game- The legacy would be different imo.
I do very much appreciate putting up the romonce Taylor vid, it shows that you really do read these comments and take us serious!! I watch every video and wanna say thx for the great and awesome channel!!
From the 07 to 2013 duck football teams my dad and I got close too alot of the players JM being one and he was one of the nice people ever I remember on moment that always stands out was JM was running off the field to the locker room (if you remember how autzen was back then they was like 20 yards too from stadium and locker room) he saw me and picked me up and pulled me over the barraier and brought me in too the locker (someone did after every home game) and once most the fans were gone he took me to dinner. Great guy and was really sad to see this happen talked to hom twice after all that happened but i was 10 year old so did really understand the situation
Thanks for the content! It was great! Hey, thing is though I am a die-hard Florida Gator fan. I wondered if you can do a where are they now on Jeff Driscoll?
Great video. As an Oregon alum and fan, it sucked to hear what happened to him. However, I would have done what he did too. FYI - the photo still of the “fraternity house” is actually a sorority of Chi Omega. I know this because I was in a fraternity and alum of my fraternity and know that sorority. Otherwise, great job researching him and telling his story.
You’re exactly right Matt it’s a hard decision a very hard decision I would definitely pled guilty and avoid jail before I risk going to jail unless I had the money to get the absolute best lawyer
I bet IF the SAME thing happened to Tim Tebow… The DA in Confederate South would be like ok and let him resume college football… Instead the DA destroyed this poor kid
Theres no way the judge would give him 2-4 years for that. Those are just sentencing guidelines the DA uses as a fear tactic to get defendants to plea out.
Huge fan here , been watching for 2 years now and I would love if you made a video on what happened to AJ Jenkins ! Round 1 receiver to the niners that just never went to planned
He's nearing the end of his CFL career, after consecutive season ending injuries almost 1 year apart in 2022 and 2023 He played well for the Hamilton Tiger-cats and the Ottawa Redblacks
I think the issue is type of lawyer his family could afford. That is a sad situation, but if family didn’t have the means to hire a quality lawyer he had to take the deal. Glad he was able to play at another university and continue his career in the CFL and is still playing which is impressive.
Milliner just kept getting injured in the NFL unfortunately. He only got to play in 21 games over three seasons. When he was in, he wasn't bad - 63 tackles, 19 deflections, 3 interceptions. Just couldn't stay healthy.
A little over a week ago I had said you should maybe do a video on DAT, (which you did just a couple days later CRAZY) Vernon Adams Jr, LaMichael James and few other UofO RB’s (Barner, Stewart etc) that came through to play for my Ducks. It’s cool you did this one on Jeremiah Masoli I hadn’t mentioned him though but that’s a name I haven’t thought of in awhile. I would like a what happened to Vernon Adams especially I thought he came in and did the absolute best he could for us.
Salute Matt Be Great .... Hope for a video drop on Colorado Buffalo quarterback Sal Aunese! Salute Matt just continues to be just damn great my guy !🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💯💯💯
Great video coverage 💯 fight it to the end. The already said he didn't see you take anything. He got another chance and blow it. Things that make you say Ummm...
Our legal system is not just. The State has all the resources and power, they have no skin in the game. Judges, prosecutor and cops have no liability for their corrupt acts. Listen to the podcast the Quash, I feel sorry for the kid. I wish him the best.
I was sitting in Knight Library parking lot on my phone when he got out of a car a couple spaces down with another guy and he put a hoodie on. I remember saying to myself “holy shit thats Jeremiah effing Masoli”. Turns out they had just stolen the laptop or projector (forget which it was), were changing clothes, and headed over to Spencers bar to make an alibi. Such a disappointment man, he was special at Oregon. Then he blew it again on his one year suspension and that was it.
As a Patriots fan who went through the Aaron Hernandez debacle in New England (it happened 10 mins away from where I lived at the time) I've come to realize these types of stories fascinate me.
he was our starting high school qb at serra high in San Mateo he got kicked out of school and had to move to Hawaii to finish his SR year due to trouble with the law in San Mateo assault and robbery charges.
Terrell Pryor actually had Oregon in his top 3 and almost went there. Hindsight being 2020 i think he would have had a legendary career at Oregon under Chip Kelly and i think wins a national championship
Funny that game against Oregon state was the day I became an Oregon fan 😭 didn’t know what I was looking at but the unis were fire to me I was playing peewee football at the time so it makes sense
I’m sorry if you’re making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year playing a sport… You did it right for yourself. And yeah, I understand why he said he was guilty. Anyone that doesn’t understand why is an idiot not only was he jeopardizing his freedom but also you have to be able to afford the attorney
Made the best of the worst. Happy for him. Also given the circumstances of the "robbery" Charges. You take the PLEA. Got to be the smartest decision he ever made sandwhiched between the two dumbest.
I would never plead guilty for a crime I didn’t commit I rather get falsely imprisoned then admit to something I didn’t do. I believe that him and his family either got scared into pleading guilty
The person that was sitting in the passenger seat when he got pulled over, and was found to have Mary Jane in the glove box; was the backup quarterback who was sitting in the passenger seat. Right in front of him was the glove box, it seems like Jeremiah's history is taking responsibility for other people's actions when he's in the vicinity. I'm just wondering if it was Jeremiah's Mary Jane or not.
Yeah this is a W. Both times they guy was just trying to have friends and whoever was paying attention to him obviously was a bad crowd. Guy seems like the quiet and smart kind. They didn't have any evidence that he stole or had the stolen mats. I hate that in court when they try to force you to a plea deal even if you aren't guilty you might say guilty anyways. I don't know anyone that stops if no one is coming out of a gas station parking lot. Who knows if that was his. who cares though. He wasn't high and driving or something. His character showed the rest of his life, and he made the best of it and did well. Just had some bad luck IMO. So yeah. GOod call and good coverage.
Usually people that plea guilty that didnt do it are offered an unbelievable deal, and are facing hard time if wrongfully convicted... I would have taken the deal in a heartbeat.
honestly idk.. cause I had messed up in life to.. just my mess up didn't end with a 4star college football career out the window.. i was just looking at time for something that thank god wasn't what it actually was lol

I'll never forget Masoli trucking the Oregon St defender to secure the Civil War win and Rose Bowl berth.
Was that the one they had to get Blount back to beat them? After he was supposed to be banned the season? Lol
From the 07 to 2013 duck football teams my dad and I got close too alot of the players JM being one and he was one of the nice people ever I remember on moment that always stands out was JM was running off the field to the locker room (if you remember how autzen was back then they was like 20 yards too from stadium and locker room) he saw me and picked me up and pulled me over the barraier and brought me in too the locker (someone did after every home game) and once most the fans were gone he took me to dinner. Great guy and was really sad to see this happen talked to hom twice after all that happened but i was 10 year old so did really understand the situation
Thanks for the content! It was great! Hey, thing is though I am a die-hard Florida Gator fan. I wondered if you can do a where are they now on Jeff Driscoll?
Great video. As an Oregon alum and fan, it sucked to hear what happened to him. However, I would have done what he did too.
FYI - the photo still of the “fraternity house” is actually a sorority of Chi Omega. I know this because I was in a fraternity and alum of my fraternity and know that sorority. Otherwise, great job researching him and telling his story.
Fans used to call him “MAC-Stolie”. Growin up in Eugene I loved watchin this guy ball. Sad how it turned out. I hope he ended up havin a good life.
Thank you bro. What happened to Juice Williams from Illinois?
For the Next, can you do about Kellen Winslow II? Son of a HOF, and Former Miami Hurricane WR of the 2000s that ended in jail
He was graping 60yo homeless women. Something was really really in the brain of that guy. Flemlo Raps did a story on him.
@sirlance_35 his story is a seriously ugly one
Some of the best memes ever
Good video as always man feel like brooks berringer would be a fantastic video his story is incredible and the end is incredibly sudden
You’re exactly right Matt it’s a hard decision a very hard decision I would definitely pled guilty and avoid jail before I risk going to jail unless I had the money to get the absolute best lawyer
And the best lawyer will tell you that they don't expect to win at trial - it's all about setting the case for appeal
I bet IF the SAME thing happened to Tim Tebow… The DA in Confederate South would be like ok and let him resume college football… Instead the DA destroyed this poor kid
Theres no way the judge would give him 2-4 years for that. Those are just sentencing guidelines the DA uses as a fear tactic to get defendants to plea out.
Exactly. But people be scared to take those chances
MATT do a video on the Pillsbury throwboy Jared Lorenzen
My cousin played for Oregon and played with JM, when I started watching them boys, I got put on game to JM. Been on that OU wave ever sense.
My guy always delivers!
Masoli is the reason I fell in love wit the ducks, cousin could’ve really been some special.
lol no. would have been terrible in the NFL
Huge fan here , been watching for 2 years now and I would love if you made a video on what happened to AJ Jenkins ! Round 1 receiver to the niners that just never went to planned
Love from Baltimore Matt 🔥❤
Do a video on what happened to Terrelle Pryor
I think he did but I could be wrong lol if not, I watched someone else do it
Terrelle is literally my fav player in college football. I remember he lined up as a wr on goal line and mossed a guy… as the starting qb. I was sold.
Come on people where the likes at for this comment ?
There’s like 6 other videos on him
Fun fact about Pryor, Oregon was his top 3 choice so if he chooses Oregon he probably wins a national champsionship
He's nearing the end of his CFL career, after consecutive season ending injuries almost 1 year apart in 2022 and 2023
He played well for the Hamilton Tiger-cats and the Ottawa Redblacks
I was very disappointed in Masoli. I hope he is doing well now. I will always remember the late comeback at Arizona that I attended as a Duck fan.
I think the issue is type of lawyer his family could afford. That is a sad situation, but if family didn’t have the means to hire a quality lawyer he had to take the deal. Glad he was able to play at another university and continue his career in the CFL and is still playing which is impressive.
This dude made mea Oregon fan. Love watching him play was so disappointing not seeing him play
Beeeeeeen waiting for this one here!!! What happened to Dee Millinder
What actually happened m??
Milliner just kept getting injured in the NFL unfortunately. He only got to play in 21 games over three seasons. When he was in, he wasn't bad - 63 tackles, 19 deflections, 3 interceptions. Just couldn't stay healthy.
I second John Franklin III. The guy has a wild story and wild ride
A little over a week ago I had said you should maybe do a video on DAT, (which you did just a couple days later CRAZY) Vernon Adams Jr, LaMichael James and few other UofO RB’s (Barner, Stewart etc) that came through to play for my Ducks.
It’s cool you did this one on Jeremiah Masoli I hadn’t mentioned him though but that’s a name I haven’t thought of in awhile. I would like a what happened to Vernon Adams especially I thought he came in and did the absolute best he could for us.
Salute Matt Be Great .... Hope for a video drop on Colorado Buffalo quarterback Sal Aunese! Salute Matt just continues to be just damn great my guy !🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💯💯💯
Guilty by association and lack of evidence.
We were really excited to have him in Ottawa. Unfortunately a dirty low tackle ruined the ending of his career here.
Hey brother…! Love your content, keep it coming! If you could, do one on Jared Lorenzen
the spencer sanders story video in a few years will hit like crack
oo whats that mean, thought he was a jesus guy
Spencer sanders a G. Chilled on the bench at ole miss counting his NIL money then dude went to the first week of classes and never showed up again😂
Great video coverage 💯 fight it to the end. The already said he didn't see you take anything. He got another chance and blow it. Things that make you say Ummm...
I remember that play vividly, he TRUCKED that dude 💪🏾🤣 like trucked trucked
Our legal system is not just. The State has all the resources and power, they have no skin in the game. Judges, prosecutor and cops have no liability for their corrupt acts. Listen to the podcast the Quash,
I feel sorry for the kid. I wish him the best.
Democrat voter for sure
@@charismatic9904 Besides being wrong, you show that you are incapable of rationale thought by resorting to personal attacks
I was sitting in Knight Library parking lot on my phone when he got out of a car a couple spaces down with another guy and he put a hoodie on. I remember saying to myself “holy shit thats Jeremiah effing Masoli”. Turns out they had just stolen the laptop or projector (forget which it was), were changing clothes, and headed over to Spencers bar to make an alibi. Such a disappointment man, he was special at Oregon. Then he blew it again on his one year suspension and that was it.
As a Patriots fan who went through the Aaron Hernandez debacle in New England (it happened 10 mins away from where I lived at the time) I've come to realize these types of stories fascinate me.
He was sooooo colllddddd bruh...i used to loose my mind every time he played
I was thinking of Darren Thomas as soon as i saw the masoli video. Please do Darren next. Also a video on Oregon State RB Jaquizz Rodgers 🤷🏿
Great video Matt
Masoli is a flat out winner played high level pro ball and make a crap ton of money and living a comfortable life.
I think some members of that 2005 Alabama team would be a good vid. Brodie Croyle, Kenneth Darby, DJ Hall, Tyrone Prothro, Roman Harper, etc.
Best RB Trios of all time. (Arkansas, Bama, Texas, Auburn, tons of teams in the SEC alone.)
You should do a video on Texarkana Texas High and OK State Linebacker Chris Collins, his story is as tragic as they come...
he was our starting high school qb at serra high in San Mateo he got kicked out of school and had to move to Hawaii to finish his SR year due to trouble with the law in San Mateo assault and robbery charges.
Terrell Pryor actually had Oregon in his top 3 and almost went there. Hindsight being 2020 i think he would have had a legendary career at Oregon under Chip Kelly and i think wins a national championship
Campus rumors were the frat kid ripped off Embry on a weed sale. And wouldn’t get back to them to make it right. So the theft happened as retaliation.
This is the story I wanted so bad for my guy Colt Brennan if he didn't make it in the NFL. Ball out for 8 - 10 years in the CFL.
Been a fan for a while. I remember this quarterback that was pretty good from Illinois. Can we get “What happened to Juice Williams?” Also Go Blue〽️
Just one shout out from Matt!!! PPPPLLLLEEAAASSSEEE!!
He was an outstanding duck, gave the team So much opportunity, lame mistakes fuck us, will always be remembered for one of the greatest go ducks
Great player !! Glad he got to play in CFL. He is a WINNER !!
Funny that game against Oregon state was the day I became an Oregon fan 😭 didn’t know what I was looking at but the unis were fire to me I was playing peewee football at the time so it makes sense
I’m sorry if you’re making a couple hundred thousand dollars a year playing a sport… You did it right for yourself. And yeah, I understand why he said he was guilty. Anyone that doesn’t understand why is an idiot not only was he jeopardizing his freedom but also you have to be able to afford the attorney
Masoli was a baller I still to this day always create a player like masoli in madden or NCAA
Made the best of the worst. Happy for him.
Also given the circumstances of the "robbery" Charges.
You take the PLEA. Got to be the smartest decision he ever made
sandwhiched between the two dumbest.
Thomas was also in the car when Cliff Harris was pulled over.
I would never plead guilty for a crime I didn’t commit I rather get falsely imprisoned then admit to something I didn’t do. I believe that him and his family either got scared into pleading guilty
Easy to say on a youtube comment vs staring 2-4 years in prison in the face…
It's not false imprisonment if they convict you
The person that was sitting in the passenger seat when he got pulled over, and was found to have Mary Jane in the glove box; was the backup quarterback who was sitting in the passenger seat. Right in front of him was the glove box, it seems like Jeremiah's history is taking responsibility for other people's actions when he's in the vicinity. I'm just wondering if it was Jeremiah's Mary Jane or not.
He was stealing cars when he was 14... he was blessed to get to where he got to...💯💯💯💯
Hello,
Im new to the page and I'm not sure if he's been covered but LeGarrette Blount would be an interesting video.
Aaron Lynch the former freshman all-american
Yeah this is a W. Both times they guy was just trying to have friends and whoever was paying attention to him obviously was a bad crowd. Guy seems like the quiet and smart kind. They didn't have any evidence that he stole or had the stolen mats. I hate that in court when they try to force you to a plea deal even if you aren't guilty you might say guilty anyways. I don't know anyone that stops if no one is coming out of a gas station parking lot. Who knows if that was his. who cares though. He wasn't high and driving or something. His character showed the rest of his life, and he made the best of it and did well. Just had some bad luck IMO. So yeah. GOod call and good coverage.
Was that Oregon vs Boise state game that Masoli lost in his second season when Blount punched the D-linemen after the game and dropped him?
Yuuup
Watched him in Ottawa last year for like.. A game, then hurt again 🤕
Usually people that plea guilty that didnt do it are offered an unbelievable deal, and are facing hard time if wrongfully convicted... I would have taken the deal in a heartbeat.
honestly idk.. cause I had messed up in life to.. just my mess up didn't end with a 4star college football career out the window.. i was just looking at time for something that thank god wasn't what it actually was lol
Cliff Harris is another Oregon guy to check out
@MattBeGreat I really enjoy your videos! Even though you clown my Seminoles, cinnamon rolls, as you call them! Lol. Please do a video on Charlie Ward when you have the time. He's a winner!
