quote:

"Nobody gave me no thousands. Nobody paid my mortgage off. I haven’t received no lump sum. I didn’t receive no $2,500. Nobody gave me money every month. Brent does not have a car. He doesn’t even have money. I go there (to Russellville High School) and pay for his lunch by the month, (for) him and (his adopted brother) Travis (Daniels). If he does have money, I don’t know nothing about it.”

“Nobody paid my house off, or my mortgage. My house has been paid for over 15 years, man. And I have four houses I rent out here.”

“I think I heard one of them say I got $2,500. Lord, if I’m going to get some money, please let me get more than that. I mean, c’mon. That’s a joke.”

“Brent rides the bus to school, man. Him and Travis ride the bus to school every morning. They don’t drive. The only time they might drive my car sometimes is when we’re going to church and back.”

“Brent has been with me for five years. Nobody but me and my wife that has taken care of him for five years. We didn’t get no money. It’s the grace of God. For people to come and say that, what they don’t understand is Brent and Travis aren’t the first kids I’ve had at my house, man. We’ve had over 10 or 12 kids at our house that we’ve helped taken care of. We didn’t bring them in trying to get any money."

“We didn’t know that when we brought Brent in that he was going to have the kind of ball-playing (skills) that he has. I was trying to keep him from going into the system. They called me a recruiter. If you know my heart, you wouldn’t say that. But I could care less.”

He is guilty just because as an adult male he allows people to call him "Peaches". That is just wrong.

This is what I was thinking. We outbid everybody with 2,500 and a car? That's absurd, and if it was somehow true kind of disappointing.

Notice the difference in this and the Cam Newton situation. Peaches didn't hire an attorney and he didn't refuse to speak. He was accused of something and he spoke his mind about, not very eloquently but at least he spoke out and called bullshite on what people were saying.

Cam and Cecil were guilty as shite and so is Auburn and the hammer is coming.

accusations made on Thursday, and peaches responds with angry denials by sunday. Pretty stark contrast between the way peaches responded to accusations he shopped gis kid and the way cecil responded to similar accusations (silence for weeks before an admission).

I have heard from a couple of former sec coaches/football operations people that they believe peaches did something. I still believe them bc they are way more connected than I am. However, they also said it was done the "right" wrong way and bama would skate. I believe that too.

If the guy really is innocent, it sucks that he is getting ridiculed by the aub fans and an auburn writer. A guy that has brought 12+ kids into his home to help is tons more than most people ever consider doing to help others.

If I remember correctly, Big Cecil came on jox when Camgate first started screaming the same crap as the peach man.

Cecil went that route during the breaking period too. It was only later - once it was obvious that the dogs were not abandoning the chase - that he lawyered up and went into hiding.

The first wave denials don't mean squat to anyone outside of the stupid message board crowd who are desperate to hear anything that reinforces what they want to believe.

I put zero stock in Cecil's blanket denials and I put zero stock in Peaches'. Bank statements are a different story. Numbers don't lie.

I believe him. He sounds pretty damn truthful to me. I mean, much of the accusations he denied can be checked and confirmed right now according to him.

If it is true that Peaches' mortgage has been paid off for 15 years like he is saying, JLEE owes this man a public apology, IMO

What Jlee is doin is no different from Bama's version of W@L, Redfish and Scott Moore

Only difference is that they're message board posters who can get away with making outlandish assertions

If it's true he paid off the house 15 years ago, which should be easy to prove. That would be a BIG whiff by JLee with that accusation.

Yes he is. And you notice he had to throw in that statement about former coaches saying they believe peaches did something, and he believes them.
