Ok worthless news... just thought this was funny...

The Victim Of The Jadeveon Clowney Hit Is Making Money By Autographing Pictures Of His Humiliation

[usc90grad]

I've been saying he should do this.....cash in brother, cash in....

BSO - Former Michigan running back Vincent Smith is a running celebration everyday on ESPN thanks to their best of the best segment. Smith is now the most famous victim in sports thanks to the Outback Bowl destruction at the hands of Jadeveon Clowney. Smith was asked about the hit in late January, and stated that he need to move on from it.

“You’ve got to get it out of your head because I’m going to bounce back and turn it into a positive,” Smith said. “I saw it later on ESPN and yeah, he got me. And I forgot about it.”

Smith is moving on from it, and making a little change off of it. Smith who no longer has eligibility is now profiting off that destructive hit from Clowney via autograph signings of photos of the hit. Vincent was recently spotted at a Kiosk in Toledo, Ohio signing autographed photos of the hit for $60 a pop. Maumee, OH sports memorabilia store Hall of Framers is now selling a framed autographed copy of the hit.

He is no longer eligiable. He was a senior.

Yea but he is still profiting off of the image of a current NCAA player in Clowney. It even mentions Clowneys name on the bottom of the framed picture.

Technically he could say that he's only profiting off his image, and that JC is simply in the picture... similar to Marcus making a run on a play and other guys just being in the picture (as they watch him score might I add). The likeness he's profiting off of is his own, not JC's. Just not in his best light.

I think the difference also is not selling it, as much as where does the money go once sold... if it went to JC, then it would be a violation... going to V. Smith... nope.

LMAO, everyone profits off the image of NCAA players except the player if he would like to stay an amatuer, the NCAA, ESPN, SI, the school, fans, jewelry warehouse...He no longer falls under the rules of the NCAA amatuer status since he is no longer an amatuer.

He'll be doing these shows when he's 70 talking about the day Clowney knocked the taste outta his mouth. Glad to see him embrace it.

[uscGRAD04]

Since he's graduated he can sell these.

He is certianly allowed to sell images of himself and make a money from it but he is also selling a image of a active NCAA player in Clowney as well which is against the rules.

Those pictures are not his property and he has no right to sell them w/o permission.

I think Paramount, MGM....would all disagree with you. Every picture I have ever taken is my property, if I would like to allow the young man to autograph them and sell so we both profit, them that is my right!

I wish I could get a signed animated gif.

It is just a miracle he still knows his name and has the ability to write it.
