Newton: Shit just hit the Fan..


bleys

Recommended Posts

A few links provided below... but a friend of mine was listening to Scott Moore, who was just on 680 the Fan in Atlanta who mentioned this to me..

Key points:

1. He and John Bond are very old friends.

2. The tapes will prove 100% that Cecil shopped Cam around to UT, MSU, and Auburn...AND that Cam knew about it.

3. Two weeks to release the tapes to do their due dilligence. Going to enlist the help of law enforcement to authenticate the tapes so no one can say he (or someone else) created them.

4. The NCAA has heard some of the tapes, but not all the tapes.

5. The NCAA encouraged Auburn to sit Cam before the UGA game.

Man, if the media isn't trying to sabotage this guy... smh...

It's not like we all don't know that he knew or was a part of trying to get paid (as do many other college athletes)... What's the point in bringing this back up besides trying to hurt him making money and where he gets picked.

The hate is ridiculous. Also amazing how King hit em up at the combine and then this guy waits until after the combine to do this so that he has less of a platform to defend himself. What a dick...

    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
    • Depends if they see the writing on the wall with their roster and contracts and decide to bite the bullet and begin a complete rebuild and roster overhaul.  I have no clue why some franchises (IE us) refuse to do this and keep half assing trying to win 8 games or so.  Do it correctly, take your lumps and build a contender.  We shall see what loomis decides.
    • Each team plays 17 games.  I do not see why they don't just have each team play one international game per year.  Neutral site game, 8 home, 8 away.
