This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Jobs in which schmoozing is the job by ndtuba

Essentially what Archie Griffin's role has been in the OSU athletic dept since his playing days ended; hang out with the bigwigs in the luxury boxes and at special events while getting his picture taken and recounting for the millionth time how he won back to back Heismans.

For lower profile players, perhaps you get offered a director of community affairs position at a bank or insurance company in which you do essentially the same thing but on a smaller stage. You don't have to know how to read a financial statement or know about federal banking regs, you just show up and smile and tell amusing anecdotes about your time playing under Woody/Earle/Coop/Urban etc. Columbus is full of these types.

Players who didn't start and whose names have been forgotten, well, maybe you get to wash the cars on the lot.
