OU’s Stoops calls criticism ‘ridiculous’

NORMAN, Okla. — With Sam Bradford’s status for No. 8 Oklahoma’s game at Miami still up in the air, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops found himself answering questions Tuesday about whether the Heisman Trophy winner should be playing with the Sooners at all this season.

Asked to respond to criticism that he should have pushed Bradford to enter the NFL draft instead of returning for his junior year, Stoops said it “is ridiculous and it is insulting and it’s foolish to say that.”

“Everybody’s entitled to their opinion, but for me to force a guy to go out and then what if it isn’t the right decision? I don’t need to tell you how things can always go in the draft,” Stoops said.
