Wiretaps made as part of the recent federal investigation into
vote-buying in the Alabama Legislature contain no conversations that
connect Victoryland owner Milton McGregor to quarterback Cam Newton's
recruitment to Auburn, according to multiple sources familiar with the
statehouse probe.


Riiiight.

All of a sudden we know what's in the wiretaps regarding MacGregor?

But, we still haven't heard if Cam Newton is eligible or not? Auburn is saying "no comment," but suddenly we're hearing whether or not MacGregor was taped talking about Newton?

Seriously, guys. Think. The media in Alabama is bought and paid for. "Multiple sources"? Really? Then get those multiple sources to tell us what's really going on and stop with the propaganda.

This story has been covered as poorly as any major story I've ever seen. But, suddenly they know what's on the wiretaps and whether MacGregor is involved. Remember, MacGregor was buying judges and politicians. I don't believe a word of this until I know WHO the sources are and what they tie-in is.

Well, that shoots down 1 reason Cam could be ruled ineligible.

1 down, 25 more to go!

if true, doesnt that kinda blow up the whole "As The Plains Burn" thread?

MacGregor has known about the tapes for a while, he was indicted in Oct. As part of discovery the prosecution has to give all its evidence over to the defense. Also the attorney who made this statement is a MASSIVE Bama fan and supporter, Espy. Trust me if they said it they are in the clear on this. Also as said the timelines do not match up but people seem to forget this little fact.

As far as Auburn, the attorneys and the NCAA Cam is eligible, this is as of last Thursday when they all had a nice sit down and talk with the NCAA.

I agree this story has been covered very poorly;
1. 2 former MSU players have talks with 2 MSU "recruiters" who Mullen has stated only coaches are recruiters at MSU, in a pay for play. THe funny thing is no one has mentioned the hot water MSU is in over this.
2. On multiple occasions Rogers and Bonds have said this had nothing to do with Auburn University, the other simply said he didn't know anything of Auburn's recruitment of Cam.

Yet with no connection between Auburn and Cam in a pay for play we have elaborate theories on how Auburn somehow is paying players in a method that if true would make James Bond's head spin.
