Objective Fan, Switzerville (4/9/2008 3:54:05 PM)

Wow, he makes a few good points, but overall his attitude just convinced me that the TEAM will be better off without him next year.

Also, he should be glad he calmed down a little because I think Jerry Schmidt could snap him in half.

Brian, Rochester (4/9/2008 4:08:25 PM)

Wow, you just Terrell Owensed your way out of the 1st round buddy.

the Professor, cruising the galaxies (4/9/2008 4:14:32 PM)

one thing is abundantly clear: it most certainly "ain't no school."

probably never was no school, either, since most students learn "ain't" ain't a real word, and one would think a person would want to talk real good English when being quoted in a newspaper.

ah, but soon enough Mr. Kelly will be a millionaire, thanks to football, which, as he so eloquently stated, is "what I do."

William, Portland (4/9/2008 4:15:21 PM)

Here we go again, it is always someone elses fault. Looks like Kelly really needs focus on an attitude adjustment not a good time in the 40.

Time for him to move on, sooner not later.

Grammarian, and OU fan (4/9/2008 4:16:17 PM)

Sounds to me like with his verbal skills he could, in fact, use a few more years of school. But maybe I ain't a expert.

JT, (4/9/2008 4:17:38 PM)

I don't agree with you about Malcolm Terrell Owensed his way out. I do agree with the way he feels. You don't know the whole story, so you should keep your comments to yourself. How would you feel if you placed your trust in someone only to be betrayed?
If Kelly's understanding was to work out on the firmer surface then he should have been allowed to do so. This makes we wonder if this is the same person who kept him out of the game they lost during regular football season. I smell a rat.

To the professor crusing the galaxies...,

According to the dictionary, the word ain't means am not. Used also as a contraction for are not, is not, has not, and have not.
The use of ain't goes back to the 18th century, and the contraction has been strongly condemned as a mark of ignorance since the 1800's. NEVERTHELESS, it has remained in use by EDUCATED speakers wishing to strike a jocular or popular note, especially in fixed expressions.

JT, (4/9/2008 4:27:07 PM)

To JT again!

Read between the lines. Get your facts straight and know the whole story before you speak. There is some friction here and it just didnt' happen today!

Jasper, Tulsa (4/9/2008 4:28:52 PM)

This idiot needs to get a real job.

Bruce, (4/9/2008 4:43:49 PM)

What a crybaby! Why is he running at OU when he probably doesn't even attend anymore (rehabbing in Atlanta for three months)? Where is his agent, or others he should have HIRED to watch out for HIS interests?

soonermajik8, tulsa (4/9/2008 4:45:57 PM)

seems to me what kelly isnt realizing is that without ou and the coaching staff he wouldnt be were he is today....so i feel like he needs to quit acting like a kid and man up......do all the loud talking and shoe throwing behind closed doors....have some class.......and yea i dont know the whole story ...jmo

DRW, (4/9/2008 4:54:40 PM)

Kelly isn't an academic and it is evident that he has invested most all of his efforts in being the best at one thing (playing football). So you shouldn't be surprised if he is upset with people who mislead him about injuries and proceedures. It's not possible to excel at football on that scale without trusting people who are experts in his field. If he was told that his injury was less than it was for the purpose of benefiting the school then that was WRONG... When it comes to the field surfaces and 40 times then I have to put that on Kelly. His job is to show up and perform on whatever surface is required. If his 40 time was that important then he should have verified everything and practiced accordingly. It is my belief that Kelly knew what was expected but needed a way to communicate the reason for his performace. This allowed him to blame some of the staff at OU for his injury (which is probably the true reason he was slow). Bottomline: OU failed to help their player and in return the University will take a bit of a beating to make things even again.

DRW, (4/9/2008 5:05:50 PM)

Oh, soonermajik8, the coaches at OU can't take credit for Kellys success. Most people who go through that program don't make it to (or in) the NFL. Kelly is a gifted physical athlete. He could have made it in a number of programs around the country. You are however correct that he needs to grow up a bit. That's an easy thing to say for most people who aren't in his shoes (hehehe). I will add that most people his age aren't very gifted with words and mannerisms. Especially when there are so many people in that industry that are there just to take advantage and make a lot of money. IMO - It is a very corrupt business (just ask Jerry Jones or any of the other owners in the league).

the Professor, stalled out on Earth (but hopefully cruising the galaxies again (4/9/2008 5:07:23 PM)

Wait...PW, what's "EDUCATED" mean, when referring to football players in the State of Oklahoma?

I ain't never had no formal education myself, but I's smart enough to know that a lot of football players don't learn much around these parts except how to sell cocaine, rape co-eds, steal coats, punch police officers, rape 12-year olds, smoke dope, and somehow stay academically eligible through it all.

I ain't disputing that "ain't" ain't in the dictionary. And it ain't really a bad word, overall. I ain't sure, though, how jocular it is when used by a dumb jock.

TJ, Dallas, TX (4/9/2008 6:55:05 PM)

Malcolm....maybe if you were a little faster, you wouldn't have to worry about what surface you run your 40! GET OUTTA HERE and good luck in whatever round you go in the draft!!!

The Professor, stalled out...., (4/9/2008 7:31:18 PM)

I am sure, #14, that the team you route for has never had any problems with players off the field, right?

You, my friend, are a complete moron.

Harvey Stelman, Buffalo Grove (4/9/2008 9:22:19 PM)

What did the other guys run? He may, or may not have a point. What do you expect from most of todays athletes?

Hanz, (4/9/2008 10:12:05 PM)

Kelly has done nothing but whine and show his immaturity since before the end of the season. Always has an excuse and has to blame everyone else for his failures. He needs a reality check a firm spot on the practice squad for a while.

Bud, (4/9/2008 10:18:01 PM)

Saw the TV news clip of this selfish, petulent crybabies rant. Reminds me of Dexter Manley...graduated from OSU yet was illiterate.

u know what i sayin...i mean...its like...u know...i mean...i dunno man...u know what i sayin ?

Big Boi 19, Dallas (4/9/2008 11:11:37 PM)

I think all you guys are full of crap to call any player a whiner. You're probably the same people who blame players when a team looses by a little and blame the coaches when the team looses by a lot. The same guys who blame poor NFL contracts and hence poor player selection on salary cap rather than poor negotiation skills.

The NFL is a BUSINESS 1st and there is plenty of I in TEAM. Don't believe all that TEAM brainwasing often employed to take advantage of people. "I" must do the best "I" can to help the team... I comes first.

Malcolm has the right idea. If he came prepared with Astroturf shoes and then ran on Field Turf with the wrong shoes....that is a huge problem. Payton Manning wouldn't play on grass with track spikes would he?

Dirt Burglar, OKC (4/9/2008 11:20:15 PM)

Bud, Do you also remember steam trains and Model T's? I'm not sure whether you or Malcolm is the biggest loser.

Mark , Las Vegas (4/10/2008 7:51:49 AM)

Are Sooner fans or Alumni really slamming Malcolm Kelly? He helped us get 2 Big 12 Championships in the last 3 years. And, at the very least, his grievances are plausible.

If I were told to prepare for one thing (indoor track) and then showed up and had to run on something else(soft grass) and it cost me a few million dollars. You bet your bottom dollar, I'd be mad as heck.

Also, if I were told that I had a bruise when I actually had a tear and it cost me money, I wouldn't be happy about that either.

I'm not saying that those things are true, but they're plausible. And I will give the benefit of a doubt to a guy thats served us as well as Malcolm has.

DW, Bixby (4/10/2008 9:51:02 AM)

He obviously didn’t go to class. They sure do learn ‘em good at OU.

Topballer, TULSA (4/10/2008 10:38:41 AM)

I WENT TO OU ON A RECRUITING TRIP WITH A RELATIVE, MALCOLM REPRESENTED OU EXTREMELY WELL TO THE RECRUITS I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT. I UNDERSTAND THAT WE ALL HAVE SAID THINGS OUT OF FRUSTRATION AFTER ALL HE IS WHAT A 21 YEAR OLD MAN
