Despite family opposition, Ohio State’s Brian Hartline will skip his senior season and enter the NFL Draft. Hartline formally announced his decision this afternoon. “I am thrilled to declare my eligibility for the National Football League draft,” he said in a statement. “I have had an outstanding experience at OSU and am thankful for the support I continue to receive. I now look forward to testing myself against the top competitors in the National Football League.”
While Hartline had been expected to return, a recent incident may have influenced his decision. According to witnesses, Hartline missed New Year’s curfew. He then engaged in a verbal altercation with an assistant. This episode and it’s subsequent punishment strained relations between Coach Jim Tressel and Hartline, sources familiar with the situation said.
In his three seasons, Hartline had 90 catches, 1,449 yards, and 12 touchdowns. This season, he only grabbed 21 catches for 479 yards. Prior to the Fiesta Bowl, Hartline had managed at least one reception in thirty consecutive games.

Brutality, Hate, & Ignorance
10 TV: An 85-year-old man remained in intensive care Wednesday after he was found beaten nearly to death inside his east side home. Charles Taylor was found badly beaten on Monday afternoon at his home on Willamont Avenue... According to police, Taylor may have known his attacker and let him or her inside his home late Saturday night or Sunday. Taylor was not discovered until Monday when his son, Robert Taylor, stopped by to check on him. Police believe robbery might have been a motive in Taylor's beating. No arrests have been made.
Number twenty-five says more about the east side than it does about the city… For those considering the suburbs as your home, you may want to consider Zanesville…
10 TV: Two men who were brutally beaten while walking in their west side neighborhood believe they were attacked because they are gay. John and Larry Charlton were hospitalized following the beating on Harris Avenue in September… The men, who have been together more than seven years, said the attack began when a group of men yelled a gay slur at them. Police urged the men to come forward with their story after their SUV was set on fire Tuesday morning. Those with any information about the attack is urged to call Central Ohio Crime Stoppers at 645-TIPS.
It wasn’t enough they were attacked? Someone had to torch their car?
10 TV: A former Ohio State University basketball player faces charges after police said he nearly ran over an officer with his car... Matt Sylvester was arrested Friday night after leaving a basketball game at the Schottenstein Center. According to police, Sylvester, 26, made an illegal u-turn on Woody Hayes Drive and ignored an officer's order to stop… Police said Sylvester also ran a red light and drove recklessly on a sidewalk before stopping. Charges against Sylvester include failure to comply and reckless operation, according to court records. Sylvester, a Cincinnati native, played for the Buckeyes from 2003-2006. During the 2005 season, he drained a game-winning three-pointer that gave Ohio State a victory over No. 1-ranked Illinois.
From campus icon to criminal clown… The fall doesn’t get more humiliating…

Quick Read
James Nash’s meticulous reporting on a scam that scorched 8,000 senior citizens is offset by insipid, non-front page worthy stories, about the Vitamin D crisis (there’s a Vitamin D crisis?) and the method schools use for determining how cold is to cold for school (in case your wondering, the report never actually says… And the point of his piece was what?)…
Worse than the front page foolishness is Bob Hunter’s complete ridiculous column, which includes (I hope you are sitting down), a comparison between the Blue Jackets and the Stanley Cup Champion Oilers of 1986-1990… Yes, the Oilers that had Wayne Gretzky… Bob, are you stoned?
Finally, Life and Arts was the lone positive stand out, featuring a punchy, but pertinent column on football viewers versus series viewers… Equally intriguing was the column on live events in 3D… The premise was outstanding and while the writing left something to be desired, the information was well worth the boredom.

BREAKING NEWS: Chris Wells Was Unwanted
Coach Jim Tressel did not want Chris Wells to return for his senior season, Gossip CBUS has learned. According to a source familiar with the coach’s mindset, Tressel was concerned that Wells would not mesh with a younger squad.
“Had Beanie come back, Beanie comes back, but it certainly was something he wanted to discourage,” said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “When have you heard Coach out there lobbying a player to go pro? Never. Coach didn’t want a guy who could cop an attitude if we struggle next year and we could. Coach didn’t want that and that’s why he was so public.”
With Wells’ exit, Dan Herron and Brandon Saine should both see action next season. In 2008, Herron had 89 carries, 439 yards, and 6 touchdowns. Saine had 26 carries 65 yards, and one touchdown. According to our source, Herron and Saine signify a new era, which has Tressel excited.
“If Beanie is there, you have a rent-a-player situation,” he said. “He’s a senior and TP [Terrelle Pryor] is young, Cris’ [Former Ohio State and NFL receiver Cris Carter] son is here next year, the offensive line is new. He would have been out of place. Boom and Zoom [Herron and Saine’s respective nicknames], they belong. Beanie didn’t belong anymore.”
Wells concluded his career as Ohio State’s fourth leading rusher. In three seasons, Wells had 585 carries, 3,382 yards, and 30 touchdowns. This season, despite injuries (three games missed), he had 207 carries, 1,197 yards, and 8 touchdowns. He closed his junior season with five one hundred yard efforts in six contests (four consecutive).

It’s What We Call the News
NBC 4: At the council meeting Tuesday night, a motion was made to vote on Eileen Paley as a new council member… Paley, a lawyer and member of the Columbus Civil Service Commission was voted in on a 3-2 vote. Troy Miller, owner of ATM Central Development, was also voted in by three yes votes.
If you’ve been following the back and fourth on this (NBC 4 has had excellent coverage), you know it’s gotten nasty… I know politics is always a fight… But, seriously… over two council seats?
NBC 4: The Columbus Division of Police are currently investigating the latest robbery that happened this morning inside the Kroger on Solando Blvd. Reports say a black female approached the teller and demanded money. The suspect alleged there was a bomb in the trash can that would be “activated if the teller did not comply”. The teller handed over an undetermined amount of cash. The suspect then approached a second teller demanding more money. The suspect then fled the store. She is described as a black female, 28-30 years old, 5’9”-6’tall, 170-190 lbs with shoulder-length dark hair with streaks of blonde mixed in. Police are asking if you have any information, to call (614) 645-4666.
Another one I technically cant count (no injuries)… But, it was worth a mention…
10 TV: Expect more snow and continued cold on Wednesday…. The Columbus metro area could receive up to 2 inches of snowfall. High temperatures on Wednesday will reach 22 degrees. Snow flurries will stick around through Thursday. It will be very cold, with daytime highs only reaching 11 degrees.
Please oh please let the road crews do their jobs… Gossip CBUS has events to cover…

Quick Read
If the Dispatch insists on placing George Voinovich on their pages (and they should, it’s major news), they could try reporting the story… Today’s metro section mess amounts to a reprint of already known information and dictation from the retirement press conference…
Equally infuriating was a story on the respect Blue Jackets rookies are receiving from the NHL… The story was excellent… The fact that it was buried below two bland Buckeyes features and a story about high school freshman twins (what is this paper, the West Beverly Blaze?), that was infuriating…
Life and Arts’ finest, about a an Ohio University graduate turned Columbus clothing entrepreneur, also found itself where no one would read it…

Voinovich Announces Retirement
As Gossip Cbus first reported, Senator George Voinovich announced his retirement on Monday. “After prayerful consideration and much thought, my wife Janet and I have decided that I will not seek a third term in the United States Senate,” the 72-year-old said. “These next two years I serve in office will be the most important two years that I have served in my political career. I must devote my full-time, focus and energy to the job. In my life I have never seen the country in such perilous circumstances.”
After resigning as Lieutenant Governor, Voinovich defeated Dennis Kucinich and served as Mayor of Cleveland from 1980-1989. He then defeated Anthony Celebrezze and served as Governor from 1990-1998. Elected Ohio’s 59th Senator, he served as junior senator until 2006. Since 2007, he has served as Ohio’s senior senator.
“Those of us that have been given the honor to serve in these times must step up to the plate and put this country on a course that will see it through these harrowing times and make it strong and viable for the 21st century,” Voinovich said.
