Colgate's Scott ready for more records
The Associated Press
HAMILTON, N.Y.: Jordan Scott gets a lot of attention these days for a tailback from Colgate. Not all of it's welcome.
NFL scouts regularly stop by Andy Kerr Stadium in bucolic central New York to take a closer look at the record-setting runner. Scott talks with them, sometimes watches film of his games and answers questions about family. And before each scout leaves, he asks Scott to explain why he spent 10 days in jail this summer.
"Every scout that I've come in contact with has asked me to tell them about it," Scott said. "I guess they're trying to get a better feel for me as a person."

Maybe Scott simply wanted to prove something because of that off-the-field mistake. He's had to deal with some of the content on the Lehigh Football Nation blog, where various entries said Scott was a stalker, that people didn't like him on campus, that he was a jerk once to a little kid, that he got a free pass on his bad behavior because of his athletic ability.
In the blink of an eye, Scott, a native of Hyattsville, Md., has gone from football star to blogosphere criminal.
I nearly choked. Various entries? I have never, ever called Jordan Scott a stalker. Some of the anonymous comments were ruthless, but I wasn't responsible for them.
In the event, I posted on my blog my reaction to the mention:

It figures this would come up 24 hours before I'm to board a flight. First the Phillies Victory parade happening at precisely the same time I'm to drive to Philadelphia airport, and now this.
