Look who's talking.

Former Ohio State superstars Maurice Clarett and Troy Smith, both now teammates for the Omaha Nighthawks in the United Football League, had some interesting things to say to a local newspaper in Nebraska.

In the article, Clarett said he's spoken with Jim Tressel this week and the former Buckeye coach told him he plans on coaching again.

However, maybe the most eyebrow-raising tidbit came from Smith, the former Heisman Trophy winner who was suspended during his days at OSU for taking 500-dollars from a booster.

"I took the rap for a lot of people so a lot of people wouldn't get in trouble," he said.  "But that story can't be told unless I want to get back at a lot of people."

That is only a mere taste of what this dynamic duo had to say.
