This wasn’t swift, Lonny Baxter justice, but it was quick, nonetheless. Less than an hour ago, former Ohio State running back/full-time delinquent Maurice Clarett cut a deal that will put him behind bars for at least 3.5 years.

If you’re boozing tonight for Monday Night Football, pour some out for Maurice.
