BREAKING NEWS: Ohio State's Boeckman Suspected of Theft from Motor Vehicle
(CDP) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
A police report released on September 17th by the Columbus Division of Police indicates the front passenger window on a silver Volkswagen that was parked Downtown in the Victorian Village neighborhood was broken and items were stolen from inside including a portable GPS navigation unit.
A representative for the Columbus Police, asking to remain anonymous indicated that although no fingerprints were left at the scene, a medium-sized rock (somewhat resembling a football) was found resting on the passenger seat of the vehicle, leading the investigating officer to conclude "The object had been thrown through the glass at close range -- from no more than two feet away."
Is this incomplete pass number 23 on the season for Todd Boeckman?
Columbus Police had no suspects until mid-afternoon Wednesday when an unusual tip came in from the local body shop where the vehicle had been towed for repairs. A large depression in the metal frame surrounding the window showed the rock had not cleanly hit the glass, but rather, was "almost a full foot off target."
"That's when we knew," said the Police in a released statement to the press, "There's only one person on campus that throws that bad."
Todd Boeckman, Quarterback for the Ohio State Buckeyes is expected to be formally charged with theft and criminal endangering in the next 24 hours.
Coach Jim Tressel indicated at his routinely-scheduled press conference that his staff was aware of the incident and were currently waiting for more information before making a decision on a possible suspension.
"Todd is a good kid," said Tressel, "Everyone makes mistakes."
Electronic records indicate the Volkswagen is registered to Jonathan Franz, an Ohio State law student, and author of amateur Big Ten Conference weblog The Rivalry, Esq.

Haha...very funny
At first I thought this story was real when I read the headline. I immediately asked myself why espn wasn’t covering this….As I continued reading the story, I felt dumb, but the story is still funny nonetheless. I don’t think Boeckman was really that inaccurate, it was more that he was pressured by a very good USC defense and has no ability to handle pressure. I kept on yelling at Tressel to just leave Pryor in the whole game, as Boeckman was absolutely ineffective.

No Really...
What Jon neglected to mention is that someone actually did throw a rock through his Volkswagen’s window Monday in that known crime haven of Columbus, OH…
Isn’t that kind of vandalism usually reserved for vehicles driven by Wolverine fans during Michigan Week?

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice...
I’m so sorry that I just got a huge laugh at the expensive of your car window and GPS. But that is too funny for words. I was about to turn around and tell my boss when I saw the headline but thank goodness I stopped myself to read on!! Wonder what Boeckman wanted your GPS for? Maybe he’s trying to locate better blockers??
I was dreading the OSU-PSU meeting in the Shoe, but now I am quite looking forward to it :) Looks like some Lions are coming to challenge the Bucks self-proclaimed “face of the league” title… :-D
