Cam Newton throws for the assembled NFL folks, and not particularly well. (AP photo)
Over the weekend Cam Newton went to Indianapolis and did himself no favors. Cam Newton arrived at the NFL combine having already offered a quote that made him sound less like the anchor a franchise seeks and more like … Justin Bieber?
To Peter King of SI.com: “I see myself not just as a football player but as an entertainer and an icon.”
Also this, to Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports: “I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I did something in one year people couldn’t do in their whole collegiate careers.”
Which, you’d have to say, sounded a tad arrogant. Then Newton ran for the assembled scouts and team execs and, you’ll be shocked to learn, ran pretty fast. Then he threw, which went less well. (He completed 11 of 21 passes, which is OK if you’re working against a real defense, which Newton wasn’t.) He also sought to deflect media inquiries about his wayfaring career, saying: “I’m not going to entertain anything that’s in the past. I’m all about the future.”
Speaking of that which Cam prefers not to speak: The latest development, if you care to call it that, regarding Newton and Auburn involves a tape Alabama entertainer/radio host Scott Moore says he has heard in which Cecil Newton, Cam’s father, discussing how much various schools were willing to pay for his son’s services as player/entertainer. The tapes are said to have been made by Mississippi State boosters John Bond and Bill Bell. According to Moore, Cam Newton was in the room during one taped exchange, although there’s no word on whether he identified himself by saying, “Hi, this is Cam, and I’m an icon.”
According to John Pennington of the invaluable Mr. SEC.com:
The word is spreading now that Moore will play the audio recordings on his new radio show in two weeks. Now, what kind of guy would try to build up an audience for the release of potentially groundbreaking news? Somebody trying to build up ratings in order to get his fledgling show into syndication (which Moore has admitted is a goal of his). It’s called a stunt. And this has all the makings of being just that.
For the record, Moore’s Web site — MooreVoices.com — features this description of himself and his talents:
Scott W. Moore is renowned for his college football acumen and uncanny ability to impersonate over 70 celebrities, sportscasters and college football coaches. He is sure to keep your audiences laughing with hilarious takes on Bobby Bowden, Steve Spurrier, Nick Saban, Pete Carroll, Bob Stoops, Ron Zook, Nick Saban, Pat Dye, Lou Holtz, Keith Jackson, Bill Clinton, George Bush and more!
One question: In addition to the always hilarious Bob Stoops, does Scott W. Moore now do an impression of Cecil Newton?
It’s hard to know how to take this. On the one hand, you have one entertainer (Moore) saying he has heard a recording of a conversation for which another entertainer (Cam) was present. On the other, Auburn inoculated itself from Cecil Newton’s pay-for-play solicitation to Mississippi State by insisting Cecil’s son had no knowledge of any overture to anybody. The NCAA bought this defense. Would a tape that puts Cam in the room, so to speak, change the NCAA’s mind? If so, what would happen to Auburn’s BCS title?
Cam Newton told reporters he didn’t go to Indy to talk about the past, a phrasing that sounded a bit too much like Mark-McGwire-on-Capitol-Hill for comfort. It could well be that Newton has a long and prosperous NFL career as both player and entertainer, and when he’s done we’ll still be trying to sort out his one year at Auburn.

Good points, Mark. But the fact that Moore bills himself as an “impersonator” sure gives Cam and his father a lot of “wiggle room”, no matter what’s on the tape. Cam’s stint at the combine shows that he’s a very good athlete, but not necessarily a great passer. And it also proves that the best thing he can do is to keep his mouth shut about being an “entertainer and icon”.

Scott Moore, confirmed bammer and Auburn hater, has quite a legacy. One time, while he was in the Birmingham jail for spousal abuse he called the Paul F-bomb show to “tell on Auburn” and how the Tigers were going on probation. That was six years ago. Great source there, Mark.
Anybody that actually listened to his appearance on that show knows there are more holes in his story than are in a swiss cheese.
By the way, I don’t know why the negative reports about Cam Newton’s workouts were the ones quoted. Gil Brandt, among others, says Cam helped himself immensely at the combine. Brant says it will now be a huge upset if Cam Newton is NOT the first overall pick.
And, uh, according to NCAA president Mark Emmert, the deciding factor in the Cam Newton eligibility determination was that no money changed hands. Cam’s knowledge, or lack of same, was mentioned but as always the MONEY was what mattered and the Newtons did not get any.
A.J. Greene had to sit out four games because money changed hands. Cam Newton did not have to sit out any games because no money changed hands. See how easy it is to figure out?

Mark, follow this story closely. No one, other than auburn fans, believed that Cam didn’t know he was being shopped. This tape, if it exists, will eliminate any doubt that Cam knew. Then both Cam and father Cecil will be known liars and everything they have ever said about this issue has to considered false. Dez Bryant recommends against lying to the NCAA. And then the NCAA can also decide if evidence of a money trail exists to get him to go to auburn. And brother, the NCAA doesn’t have a very high burden on that one.

All you have is what one guy (who admits to be an auburn hater clamis) FACT is the NCCA heard these tapes BEFORE they reinstated Cam Newton. It never ceases to amaze me how you journalists go for ratings/viewings over facts. You are no better than Cecil Newton himself.

Money doesn’t have to change hands. All you have to do is ask for money and your ineligible.
Cams Dad did and I believe he knew about it. If he did he was ineligible last year.

For those of you keeping track of the Auburn spin at home, I think this tracks the excuse-o-meter to date:
1) Story of pay for play breaks in early November: “It’s all b.s. Bunch of crap; everyone is jealous of our season.”
2) Kenny Rogers goes on the record about Cecil shopping Cam: “Cam and Cecil knew nothing about this. Rogers is a lowlife looking for a payday.”
3) Cecil then admits that he shopped Cam and NCAA concludes Cecil shopped Cam: “Cam knew nothing; no money changed hands. His sorry father made a mistake but Cam didn’t know.”
4) Continued rumors and now a set date that tapes will be released showing Cam had knowledge he was shopped: “No money changed hands; Scott Moore is a lowlife looking for a payday; we won it on the field.”
Keep spinning auburn fans; no one believes your story. Lying to the NCAA is a bad idea. Cam did not go to auburn for free.
Oh, and work on those excuses about the NCAA investigating your recruiting in Louisiana (see Fox sports story) and Arkansas.

GTBob, review the hbo special coming out..you’re little off on what they are going to be talking about.
Also, how is AU the bad guy? Guy said nothing about AU giving money on those so called tapes…but if they are true and comes out then AU will have to forfeit the title b/c of what went on with Miss st. NOT AT AUBURN.

Moore is a scumbag…see his criminal record. He is in desparate need of money.
He has also said in an interview that the NCAA told Auburn to sit Cam before the UGA game. Now if the NCAA told anyone to sit anyone then Auburn would have sat him. Obviously they didn’t.
Moore also said there is no one on the tapes from Auburn.

Way too much hearsay and personal agendas going on in this case.
The FBI has more important things to work on than this (like terrorism and Wall Street crime) but it would be nice if they put wiretapping charges on Bond (he claims he has phone tapes) and then started having people testify under oath in front of a grand jury.

There are not many people treated like Newton their entire lives that could not develop some degree of arrogance.
The tape is BS. If the NCAA indeed reviewed the tape then it is of no consequence.
Debating this crap anymore is ridiculous. It’s over.
This whole issue is simply exaccerbated by the fact that the NCAA has a “compliance office” with about 3 individuals charged with keeping “amateur” sports “amateur” when the entire premise of thier job is flawed becuase anyone on athletic scholarship is infact paid a sum to play their sport.
The NCAA is the problem.

Silence at the AJC
March 1st, 2011
11:34 am
Let’s recap 4 iportant lessons from this “cam” adventure:
Lesson 1: Cam Newton stated an outright FACT, when he said:
“I don’t want to sound arrogant, but I did something in one year
people couldn’t do in their whole collegiate careers.”
That’s TRUE. No one in recent memory got paid $200,000
to play just one single year of D-1 College Football.
Lesson 2: Pride goeth before a fall. 5,000+ years of recorded human history wont change that.
Lesson 3: Supposedly Top-rated QB draft picks RARELY equal the hype.
Here’s the BOMBSHELL QUESTION: *******************************************
Why hasnt the AJC been to interview THE CONTRACTORS
that did all the repair work for Cecil Newton’s church(s) ??????
We have an interview done by ANOTHER local Georgia newspaper, where the CFO of Cecil Newton’s church states for the record….that she has NO IDEA where the money came from to pay for the repairs. Really ???? The CFO has no idea…where the money came from ????
Well now, exactly HOW did the Contractors get paid? Cash, check, credit card ????
All this brings us to the MOST IMPORTANT Lesson of all:
Lesson 4: MONEY ALWAYS LEAVES A TRAIL.
Just imagine the consequences, if that trail leads back to Auburn ????
Of course, we all know…eventually, it will.

This is just another attempt by the media to tarnish a kids remarkable college career. Bill Bell and John Bond are obviously trying to get money or attention. Just let it go. Auburn won the National Championship and Cam Won the Heisman.

NCAA slaps Auburn with probation, scholarship loss
AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — The NCAA put Auburn’s basketball program on probation for two years on Tuesday, when the organization also announced it was cutting one scholarship but clearing the university of major rules violations.
Auburn was exonerated of accusations involving large sums of money and expensive cars given to high school prospects Chadd Moore and Jackie Butler. But the NCAA found that an AAU coach, Mark Komara, was acting as a representative of Auburn when arranged to wire $3,125 for Butler and get a 1996 Dodge Stratus for Moore.
Komara is believed to be the first summer league basketball coach designated a representative of a school, said Thomas Yeager, chairman of the NCAA’s Division I Committee on Infractions.
The university, which denied the major accusations, already had imposed its own penalties, including the loss of one scholarship for the 2004-05 season. The NCAA cut that scholarship for 2005-06, too, but did not ban postseason play or televised games.
The NCAA cleared Auburn assistant coach Shannon Weaver of offering $50,000 and a car to Moore’s mother. Auburn also was found innocent on charges of offering Butler $70,000 and a car worth more than $40,000.
Neither player made official visits to Auburn, and the university had maintained that neither was offered a scholarship. Both were sophomores at the time of the alleged offers.
Auburn provided records to the NCAA that the university maintains show Weaver was actually under the care of a dentist in Scottsboro when he allegedly made the offer to Moore’s mother, Clara Moore.
Coach Cliff Ellis, who was not implicated by the NCAA, was fired March 18 and replaced by former Chattanooga coach Jeff Lebo.
Auburn interim president Edward Richardson called the sanctions “reasonable, balanced and fair,” and added, “I’m confident that Coach (Jeff) Lebo and his excellent staff will build a successful program.”
Moore and Butler played summer ball for Komara, who the NCAA alleged was a representative of Auburn and was involved in improper recruitment.
Yeager said there was ample evidence to show Auburn coaches’ contact with Komara surpassed their relationships with others involved in recruiting. Among the examples he cited were telephone records showing Auburn coaches made more than 1,100 calls to Komara and fewer than 200 to others involved with recruiting. Yeager also said Auburn coaches helped make hotel and airline reservations that Komara paid for.
Although the NCAA acknowledges high school and summer league coaches play a special role in college recruiting, Yeager said, Komara’s actions exceeded that role.
Mike Walker, a Mississippi sports agent, made the initial allegations in March 2001.

Where’s the news here?? Cecil shopped Cam to MSU. That’s been pretty much acknowledged and confirmed by everyone from MSU to AU to the SEC to the NCAA. The NCAA stated that based on their review of information available back in November including an interview with Bell, Bond, and Rogers that there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Auburn or proof that Cam knew. Even Bond, the guy with the tapes, said he never talked to Cam or Cecil. If there was something there that implicated AU and not MSU, Bond would have had no reason to withhold it from the NCAA (there’s a hint there). Tapes in two weeks sounds a lot like an AJC article in three weeks. It’s easy to keep everybody in suspsense when you keep dangling the carrot out in front. Oh, and for the conspiracists out there, after all this time, do you think it would be really hard to fabricate a tape full of damning evidence with the aid of modern technology? I think not. Just more fun for all of us. Bottom line is until the NCAA tells AU they are under investigation and there are some findings by an official body, all this stuff does is motivate the Harvey Updykes of the world.

Auburn History of probation

Article from 2006, Now why would anyone think auburn is cheating?
I believe that this is a practical world and that I can count only on what I earn. Therefore, I believe in work, hard work.
I believe in education, which gives me the knowledge to work wisely and trains my mind and my hands to work skillfully.
I believe in honesty and truthfulness, without which I cannot win the respect and confidence of my fellow men.
I believe in a sound mind, in a sound body and a spirit that is not afraid, and in clean sports to develop these qualities.
I believe in obedience to law because it protects the rights of all.
The Auburn Creed
The Auburn Creed was cited by Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter Tony Barnhart following the most recent previous incident impeaching the integrity of Auburn University and its athletic department. That sordid sequence of events involved an embarrassing attempt to hire Bobby Petrino to replace Tommy Tuberville, who had not yet been fired, and the consequences were so severe that Auburn’s president and athletic director both lost their jobs and the university’s accreditation was placed on one year’s probation.
Tommy Tuberville . . . 2004 Coach of the Year . . . five Western Division championships in the last six years . . . almost ousted in an ugly incident that put Auburn’s accreditation in jeopardy.
“Probation” is not an unfamiliar word on the Plains. Auburn’s N.C.A.A. infractions history includes seven major infractions cases in the last 50 years, not including the present unpleasantness in the so-called Loveliest Village.
Auburn’s history of major violations includes getting slapped with three years’ probation in 1957, three years’ probation in 1958, and a two-year ban on postseason and television appearances in 1979.
Shug Jordan . . . winningest football coach in Auburn history . . . namesake of Jordan-Hare Stadium . . . Auburn alumnus . . . during his tenure, Auburn was put on probation by the N.C.A.A.
Auburn was held responsible for unethical conduct in November 1991 and sanctioned for unethical conduct and a lack of institutional control in August 1993.
In the latter instance, the N.C.A.A. imposed punishments upon the Auburn athletic department just as Terry Bowden was about to begin his first season as the Tigers’ head coach. Following his subsequent resignation under fire, Coach Bowden said on tape that A.U. boosters were funneling large amounts of cash to recruits.
Terry Bowden . . . led Auburn to an undefeated season in 1993 . . . guided the Tigers to a 20-game winning streak . . . was taped making incriminating statements about Auburn’s recruiting practices.
The most recent instance of wrongdoing on the Plains occurred when Auburn was placed on two years’ probation on April 27, 2004. The N.C.A.A. news release announcing the latest penalties against the Plainsmen stated that, during the probationary period from April 2004 to April 2006, “the university shall continue to develop and implement a comprehensive educational program on NCAA legislation and submit periodic reports to the NCAA,” including “a preliminary report that sets forth a schedule for establishing this compliance and educational program.”
“At the end of the probationary period,” concluded the N.C.A.A. (with emphasis added, by me), “the university’s president will provide a letter to the committee affirming that the university’s current athletics policies and practices conform to all requirements of NCAA regulations.” Finally, the Division I Committee on Infractions noted:
As required by NCAA legislation for any institution involved in a major infractions case, Auburn University is subject to the provisions of NCAA Bylaw 19.5.2.3, concerning repeat violators for a five-year period beginning on the effective date of the penalties in this case, April 27, 2004.
If the Committee on Infractions determines “that a major violation has occurred within five years of the starting date of a major penalty,” the institution guilty of such conduct shall be deemed a repeat violator and may be subject to increased penalties.
Pat Dye . . . won four conference championships in the 1980s . . . namesake of the playing field at Jordan-Hare Stadium . . . named S.E.C. Coach of the Year three times . . . during his tenure, Auburn was put on probation by the N.C.A.A.
Neither I nor anyone else learning of these latest accusations through the mainstream news media knows for certain whether there has been any wrongdoing here. However, it is clear that, if there was wrongdoing, Auburn University officials had no excuse for not knowing about it and putting a stop to it.
The institution’s president and athletic director received clear direction from the N.C.A.A. to clean up what is historically the most shameful morass in intercollegiate athletics. Extra vigilance was warranted, in light of Auburn’s frequent instances of recidivism.
If you, like C.F.R., found yourself “underwhelmed,” you should consider yourself underinformed. The Tigers went undefeated while on probation in 1957. They did it again in 1993. What in the history of War Eagle athletics gives us any reason to doubt allegations that improprieties occurred while the Plainsmen were going undefeated in 2004?
Furthermore, what aspect of the present situation suggests that these allegations concern events which were either isolated or legitimate? This so-called “rogue professor” was, in fact, the interim director of Auburn University’s sociology department, who took on numerous “directed reading” students.
One of the department head’s colleagues, Paul Starr, was quoted in a news report as saying that a “professor normally doesn’t take on many of these,” yet, in this case, 15 such courses appear to have been offered. Another sociology professor, James Gundlach, is cited by The New York Times as the person who compiled the relevant records.
Professor Gundlach’s statistics evidently indicated that Auburn football players with an average G.P.A. of 2.14 in their other classes had an average G.P.A. of 3.31 in the “directed reading” course. Unsurprisingly, this supposed athletic department “oversight” ostensibly involved Auburn’s director of student athlete support services playing “an important role in funneling students to the sociology program.”
However, this purportedly Oxford don-like method of individualized instruction was endorsed by a former A.U. football player. Carnell “Cadillac” Williams, a product of this one-on-one tutelage involving rigorous reading and critical analysis, eloquently expressed his articulate defense thusly: “I didn’t do nothing illegal or anything like that.”
You think this is “The Swamp”? Auburn . . . now that’s a swamp!
Whether fire underlies the smoke surrounding Auburn University remains an open question, but there can be no doubt that, if fire is found to be present, the sordid history of A.U. athletics has left too much tinder lying about for the N.C.A.A. to do anything less than drop the hammer on these latest Yellowhammer State shenanigans.

And if they paid Cam Newton, do you really believe that they don’t pay the other players? Now consider this before you answer. AU has a history of paying players.

Ncaa investigations and Auburn go hand and hand
March 1st, 2011
12:45 pm
Auburn has had five successful coaches since 1955: Shug Jordan, Pat Dye, Terry Bowden, Tommy Tuberville and now Gene Chizik.
Every one of them has been investigated for, suspected of, admitted to or charged with possibly paying or buying football players at one time or another. All of these coaches except Shug Jordan have one thing in common: They were hired and/or fired during the reign of Auburn’s powerful Board of Trustees President, Bobby Lowder.
Money and success on the football field seem to go hand in hand at Auburn, and even some of Auburn’s recruiting practices insinuate there is money to be had at Auburn. Take, for example, the use of stretch limousines used by Auburn coaches when visiting recruits off campus.
Auburn has had seven major NCAA violations in its past, most involving paying and buying athletes.
This makes Auburn by far the worst NCAA violator in the SEC, yet Auburn fans bristle and act indignant if someone dares to suggest that Auburn could be involved in the Cam and Cecil Newton pay for play situation.
Auburn fans remind anyone who dares accuse Auburn of any wrongdoing involving Cecil Newton or anyone claiming that Cam Newton was aware of what his father was up to that there is no proof.
The NCAA did say, “Based on the information available to the reinstatement staff at this time, we do not have sufficient evidence that Cam Newton or anyone from Auburn was aware of this activity.”
Yet it is impossible to ignore these facts: On the one hand you have the Newtons actively soliciting money, and on the other hand you have Auburn, a school that has been involved in buying and paying football players for decades.
I know that Cecil Newton has only admitted soliciting money from Mississippi State, but it is hard to forget which team Cam Newton played for in 2010, and it is hard to forget Auburn’s history of paying players.
The NCAA investigation continues, and what they will find if anything is anyone’s guess, but those familiar with Auburn’s past know that anything is possible when you mix athletes with their hands out and wealthy men who love their college football and their school.
Was Cam Newton’s recruitment by Auburn legitimate, or is Auburn still willing to buy success at any price?
That is the $180,000 question.

When an athlete chooses to play college football there are rules to play by and consequences when you don’t. If the current system is, “feudal system” or, “a plantation system” then do something about it. You can organize a boycott of watching football. You can try to organize the players to boycott playing football. You seem to enjoy it when people don’t play by the rules and cry injustice when they have to suffer because of it.

DC: what is wrong with society is people that ignore the things that have gone on with the Auburn program, puting their head in the sand like the NCAA and SEC did when it came to the Cam deal, not to mention the arrogance of a head football coach that condones bad behavior in order to win at any cost. What is funny is what goes around comes around and it seems to be ringing true for Auburn…..

Auburn folks know deep down that the program is dirty. But the obsession over watching Bama’s success over the years has really gotten to them. Could you imagine what it’s like being second best in the state for so long? (just ask Tech)
Auburn pays players…….duh! They paid Cam Newton $200,000 or so to play there. It’ll come out one day. Auburn may very well get to keep their trophy. But the *NC is not objective. It’s influenced by the opinions of college football fans, writers, coaches, etc. from all over the country.
I was in line at a store behind a guy with a Univ. of Oregon cap on the other day. We started talking football and the subject of AU cheating immediately came up. It’s all over the country!
If AU does get to keep the *NC trophy, it will always be a hollow victory. It is not deserved because it was won under mass cheating circumstances. Everyone knows it. And since the NC is “mythical” and thus subjective, AU’s has been erased in the court of public opinion. AU fans can deny, deny, deny, but everyone else knows it.
Hope it was worth all that to you Aubies.

What’s with all the false bravado coming out of you clowns today? You make it sound like the NCAA just announced shutting down our program.
Basically the headline is a guy with a radio show building up the playing of a tape. Until those tapes are played and implicate Auburn, I couldn’t give a rat’s a&&- and neither would you if it were one of your players involved.
It’s a simple fact that it is impossible to prove that something DID NOT happen. Allegations are allegations, and I expect you idiots to keep pretending you have access to some information the NCAA doesn’t.
As for me I’ll stick to the on-field results until something more compelling comes out. It’s the only thing we all certainly know happened.

My brother-in-law is an Oregon grad. Even before *AU and Oregon were matched up, he was asking about the Cam Newton situation. Said that most folks out West have a very low opinion of *AU. He even knew about the Milt McGreggor slant.
If *AU’s not dirty, they sure have a huge public relations problem. But I think the problem stems from the dirt.

Hey look. It’s Cobb Dawg back with a whole new name! Embarrassed about what you wrote earlier? This doofus has been told many times how many terms of school Cam Newton attended at Auburn, yet he keeps coming back with “one semester”.
Had it been one semester, Newton couldn’t have participated in spring practice or else not participated in the regular season. I’m pretty sure you remember him participating in the regular season. He played in the spring game and every newspaper story about Auburn’s practices last year included progress reports on Newton . Here’s a thought: Call the NCAA and tell them that Newton wasn’t in school at Auburn last spring. I’m certain they’ll appreciate being sent on yet another wild goose chase by yet another jealous fan of a rival school.

The NCAA found Mr. Newton guilty of brokering money from MSU, which is a violation they ignored because they believed Cam “didn’t know” what was going on. I don’t buy it and I am not alone.
Like I said, i am for any evidence that proves either side. And i welcome it.

Shame on Moore… he’s getting all of the bitter 7-6 hapless free love dog fans at Georgia excited. Probably 4 out of 10 of them peed their pants hearing this while the rest of the world goes… really? 2 weeks? you could hire people and make a tape in the next 2 weeks.

Actually, Mark, that Mr.Sec article you referenced is pretty good:
http://www.mrsec.com/2011/03/newton-tapes-coming-in-two-weeks-well-see/
Late last week, Huntsville, Alabama radio host Scott Moore went on a couple of radio stations to announce that he has heard tapes of Cecil Newton talking about the “bids” that had been made for his son. Auburn was implicated. Tennessee was implicated. Cam Newton was said to be in the room during one conversation.
Of course, only Moore has heard the tapes. Former Mississippi State quarterback John Bond and fellow MSU booster Bill Bell made the tapes but they haven’t released them. Moore said on Friday that the tapes are “valuable.”
The long string of teasing from Bond and the Moore media push prompted us to write:
It’s Time For Bond And Moore To Put Up Or Shut Up On The Newton Saga
Yesterday, Kevin Scarbinsky of The Birmingham News wrote nearly the exact same story on his blog:
It’s Past Time For John Bond And Bill Bell To Put Up Or Shut Up On Cam And Cecil Newton
Maybe Moore, Bond and Bell are paying attention because the word is spreading now that Moore will play the audio recordings on his new radio show in two weeks. Now, what kind of guy would try to build up an audience for the release of potentially groundbreaking news? Somebody trying to build up ratings in order to get his fledgling show into syndication (which Moore has admitted is a goal of his). It’s called a stunt. And this has all the makings of being just that.
Many Alabama fans are dancing in the streets — or at least on the messageboards — at the thought of the Newtons and Auburn and Tennessee going down.
But they need to be warned: Moore’s teases and delays and story changes — one day he thinks Cam is implicated, the next he says Cam can be heard in the room… one day he says Tennessee offered $150,000, the next he says the Vols offered $200,000 — don’t give him a lot of credibility. Ditto the fact that he’s launching a new show.
Bond and Bell don’t have a lot of credibility either right now. Moore said they turned some of their tapes over to the NCAA. Why not all of them? And if the two are trying to get cash for their story, then they’re no more credible than someone selling an “I had an affair with…” story to The Star.
Anyone expecting to tune into Moore’s show and find the smoking gun of evidence in the Newton case is likely to be very disappointed. We’re not saying it’s not possible that new evidence exists. And if the tapes are earth-shattering, then it’s about time they were released. But taking everything into account, we wouldn’t trust this bunch as far as we could throw them.
Tapes in two weeks? We won’t hold our breath.

Oh and to play for UGA? Yeah, they’d have to pay me more than they did Herschell plus inflation. THEN, I don’t have to go to practice. I don’t have to listen to Richt. I can do whatever I want. If I get arrested you have to bail me out. I can get fatter year after year like Stafford did. And when I get to the game, I get to do whatever I want and if I mess up, so what, up yours.

He did not say how he was going to do that. He did make a point of saying that John Bond was one of the originators of the tapes, and that Buck Belue could vouch for his (Bond’s) integrity. He also said he knew the fact that he did impressions for a living would cause many to question whether it was him on the tapes. This will be interesting to see how it turns out. Both sides seem so questionable in this, it is impossible to tell.

Where you guys danced the Soulja Boy during the entire 4th quarter? Rubbing it in Auburn’s face the whole time while carrying on like a group of street thugs? Well payback is a b**** isn’t it? As far as AU fans are concerned this whole season was payback for getting left out in ‘04 after going undefeated. Do you think the Aubies really care what a bunch of jealous, biased, disgruntled UGA fans think about their NC? They won it on the field and no matter what comes out they will always have that to hang their hat on. The question is what do UGA fans have to hang their hat on? The other guy cheated? That’s seems kind of silly doesn’t it? Why not just focus on turning your own program around instead of casting stones at the Aubies? Maybe that’s the problem: You are trying to avoid your own OFF-field & ON-field issues by bashing Auburn all the time. Ask yourself this: What if the shoe were on the other foot & Cam went to UGA instead of AU? Then let’s say there were allegations that his dad shopped him to the LSU Tigers or the Tenn. Vols, BUT no evidence was there linking UGA to the money. Would you not be defending him to the death & crowing about your NC? Just something to consider……

They keep coming:
In a recent interview with HBO Real Sports, former Auburn football player Stanley McClover alleged that while he was a current player at the school, an Auburn assistant football coach provided him extra benefits that would be considered a violation of NCAA rules.
As part of a Real Sports episode on the “State of College Sports in America” to be aired March 30 on HBO, I’ve been told McClover names the assistant coach in the piece.
The accused assistant coach is no longer at the school.
The allegation against the Auburn football program by McClover, who left the school in January 2006, falls outside the NCAA’s standard statute of limitation guidline of four years, with one notable exception.
NCAA rule 32.6.3 Statute of Limitations: Allegations included in a notice of allegations shall be limited to possible violations occurring not earlier than four years before the date the notice of inquiry is forwarded to the institution or the date the institution notifies (or, if earlier, should have notified) the enforcement staff of its inquiries into the matter. However, the following shall not be subject to the four-year limitation:
(a) Allegations involving violations affecting the eligibility of a current student-athlete;
(b) Allegations in a case in which information is developed to indicate a pattern of willful violations on the part of the institution or individual involved, which began before but continued into the four-year period; and
(c) Allegations that indicate a blatant disregard for the Association’s fundamental recruiting, extra-benefit, academic or ethical-conduct regulations or that involve an effort to conceal the occurrence of the violation. In such cases, the enforcement staff shall have a one-year period after the date information concerning the matter becomes available to the NCAA to investigate and submit to the institution a notice of allegations concerning the matter.
Part C of the rule may leave the door open for the NCAA to pursue an allegation made after the standard four-year period has expired.
An email sent earlier today to an NCAA spokesperson for clarification on the rule was not returned.
McClover did not return a Facebook message to his personal account and an HBO spokesman, when contacted, had no comment.
So what prompted McClover to make such allegations through HBO five years after leaving Auburn?
Perhaps it has something to do with a February 19 entry McClover posted on the website of a charity he runs. An entry that noted HBO would be filming a McClover-organized gathering in south Florida this Sunday.
Last week I reported that former Mississippi State player Kenny Rogers, who implicated Cam Newton’s father Cecil in a pay-for-play scheme involving MSU, would also be interviewed for the HBO Real Sports episode focusing on college sports.

Let’s review. You posted two articles. Are you ready for a rebuttal?
1) The McGlover story…
BAM!
http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2011/02/stanley_mcclovers_comments_on.html
I think the most telling quotes coming from McClover’s own HS coach and then I like this the best: Another of McClover’s teammates, Bret Eddins, summed it up with a joke: “If he had money, it must have been in a Roth IRA or something.”
How about some more? This is like me rubbing my facemask on your chin, let me know when you’ve had enough.

and coming
http://www.rollbamaroll.com/2011/2/27/2016205/a-word-of-caution-on-the-hbo-special
2) The Lowder and Bowden issue. Bowden ought to know a lot about the Lowder family because Bobby hired him and he was rumored to have knocked up Lowders daughter who was his secretary and then adopted the child in the mid to late 1990s. I forget when. Anyway… what do you have? Proof? Information? Anything of value? Nope.
Now let me show you something that cannot be denied. 14-0, SEC West Champs which means automatically SEC champs and National Champs. Georgia 6-7. Very bitter. Auburn is supposed to be below Georgia… turns out, Georgia is just barely above Kentucky and Vandy and on the way down.
We love rubbing it in dog fan’s faces, they can’t handle it and that’s what Auburn fans love. Watching Georgia implode game after game and blog after blog.

I used to have UGA as my second favorite team. Ever since Mark Richt came to UGA from FSU and brought the thugism that school is famous for with him, things have gone way downhill in Athens.
Dawgs, you used to be a good rival. These days all you are is a bunch of whining losers with a gang of jailbirds for players and a head coach that encourages hoodlums.
I see Ealey is back on the team. A real coach, like Gene Chizik, gives them one chance and then they are gone. I guess if Richt started kicking his criminals off the team after just two offenses he wouldn’t have enough to play.
Here’s a tip: Y’all sound like a bunch of second graders on a playground with all this “The FBI will get you” crap. Get something that at least sounds mature.
There is no FBI investigation that concerns Auburn. There is not now nor has there been a recent NCAA investigation of Auburn. There has not been one scrap of evidence that Auburn did anything wrong.
Try to start acting like the men and women that used to represent Georgia instead of a bunch of whining, jealous losers.
Wow!
March 2nd, 2011
9:59 am
MikeP, you must be joking. I mean, you can’t be serious with some of your posts. “Chizik gives them one chance and then they’re gone”!?!?! Chizik is the one who recruited Cam Newton. Cam Newton is the one who, previous to coming to AU had a grades “scandal”, enough traffic violations to add up to a felony, got arrested for trying to make a kite out of a laptop. Yea right, he “bought it from someone who stole it”. Watch COPS and that’s what they all say. If he bought it, why’d he try to throw it out of the window when the COPS showed up. This happened BEFORE he came to AU. No telling what all he did and got covered up when he got there. Although he was only there for one semester and had PLENTY of money in his pockets to buy all the computers he wanted (wink, wink)
When a football player at AU gets in trouble, they call the coaches or boosters and they come and get them out of it. In Athens, football players are treated just like everyone else, as they should be.
Why do I feel like I’m trying to explain all this stuff to a 4th grader?

I’ve been hearing that for months now. Three months, to be exact. But usually it’s been “next week” or ‘two weeks” or ” December 4th”. I guess you guys are getting smarter and are no longer putting a date on it so you can’t be called out when it doesn’t happen…and doesn’t happen…and doesn’t happen….
I hate to break up y’all’s erotic dreams, but it’s not going to happen either. The NCAA investigated the question of Cam Newton’s eligibility for five months, from July thorough November and found that Newton was “Eligible Without Condition”. End of story, except in the minds of bitter, jealous losers.

Bob, you should do a better job of keeping up. That “word” came from Scott Moore, who has now been discredited from border to border and coast to coast.
I can’t believe the extent to which jealous rival fans are willing to keep grasping at straws. Every time one of the rumors proves false Auburn beats you again.
One would think the losers would be tired of getting beating after beating from the Auburn Tigers. Those fans that act like the Georgia fans I know accepted that Auburn won the game and moved on.
Auburn beat those Georgia fans once. The conspiracy people have already suffered six or seven losses to Auburn and more are coming.

None of this matters. Even if there is an audio tape of Cecil Newton, and EVEN IF we hear “hi, this is Cam Newton”, it won’t matter. Sure Auburn will lose the National Title, sure there may be some kind of “fine” on Cam and/or Cecil. Again it won’t matter…why?? Because all Cam Newton cares about is Cam Newton. All Cecil Newton cares about is Cam Newton’s potential (and likely) money. Auburn losing the title does not effect Cam Newton. He may even have to give back the Heisman, so what. He still will make a freaky amount of money in the NFL. However, it’s only a matter of time for Cam’s arrogance and his father’s (and others) lack of guidance that will inevitably be the downfall. He’ll get his contract, freaky money, no one to tell him about saving for the future. He’ll give most to his dad, probably buy some rims, a few houses etc. His lack of maturity and ability to learn at the professional level will make for a short lived career. With no idea on how fiscal responsibility works, he’ll be at best a novelty.
