I am going to be informing you about the recent football scandals at The Ohio State University. In this first blog, it displays the most recent suspensions by Ohio State football players. Hinton explains that,  "The summer jobs in question appear to be connected to Robert "Bobby" DiGeronimo, the same Cleveland-area businessman and Ohio State booster who told the Dispatch last month that he was responsible for 200 dollar cash payments to three buckeyes— running back Jordan Hall, cornerback Travis Howard and wide receiver Corey Brown, each reportedly paid via Pryor — at a Feb. 19 fundraiser for a charity named after DiGeronimo's grandson. All three were subsequently suspended for the season's first two games"(Hinton). I think that Aristotle's rhetorical schemes are used in this blog, mainly ethos (credibility) because the writer for the blog has done his research, and has gotten the facts and has the credit to write about the topic. This article is a lot like many other essays I have read, but it is very informative and straight forward.

In this blog Rittenburg writes a little about the suspensions of the Ohio State players, but mostly about coach Jim Tressel. Many who don't know follow NCAA football, or buckeye nation didn't know much about what was happening with Jim Tressel rather than the players. "But Tressel? He won't assign himself to coach the Ohio State scout team. He won't be pushed to the side for the people who will coach on Saturday. Tressel will participate in the game plan. He will participate in the preparation of the Buckeyes. He will do what he is paid very handsomely to do" (Rittenburg). This blog displays ethos, because Rittenburg has a lot of credibility.

This blog is a google blog that talks about the suspensions that players Boom Herron, and Devier Posey faced. This was writing by the ATS consultants, and I think he uses Aristotle's pathos, or emotions because it isn't really an established blog, it seems it is one that anyone can post on.

This blog isn't really an established blog either, it seems that anyone can post on it. Nonetheless, it is written by a true Ohio State fan, and that definitely displays Aristotle's pathos, and Massey is exclaiming to the world that Ohio State has lost five starters due to suspensions, and explains it in the blog.
