Gumps really hate him though because he also wrote about bama players like Julio, Ingram and Richardson always hanging out in a former boosters suit store, wearing a different tailored suit to every game, signing memorabilia that was later auctioned off on ebay, T-rich driving and getting tickets in different $30-$40k autos each year, etc. They pretty much hate him due to his reporting of all of it.

And it was later proven the traffic citation was a fake (doctored by AU's ATPB group). Not to mention he was uploading misleading photos of malls in Birmingham selling autographed Tide memorabilia, claiming it was Albetar's booth at the University Mall in T-Town. In addition, he uploaded a photo of Albetar with an Alabama coach that left the program in 2009, claiming it was taken at the 2011 A-Day. This is why gumps hate him because real sports writers do not consistently post fabricated facts and misinformation (excluding Joe Schad of course). The only incriminating evidence he really had were photos of players and ex-players signing autographs (with no evidence of extra-benefits being given in return). Although, something shady could've potentially went down, it's hard to take a guy seriously who kept spreading lies.

He also had a great piece on the AU Hostess gate scandal and how Auburn got away with paying Cam Newton, though.

Meh, his Cam articles were tame and basically just to say the NCAA was still investigating. And he didn't say hardly anything about the AU hostesses. Pretty funny you call it hostess gate though. Showing your stupidity there for sure.

Maybe we should copy/paste his couple of articles about AU which were very tame and compare them to the 3-4 dozen plus detailing bama violations including suits, payments, dinners, cars, houses and jobs he insinuates bama boosters provided.

Whatcha think?

WTF? Sure buddy...

Guess the pictures of Rent a Trent with his $40k ride he purchased with Pell Grant money (according to gumps

) was fake as well.

No dumbass, he said that worked in Bama's defense, to show that other malls were also selling the SIGNED memorabilia and it and was not exclusive to the bama boosters store and therefore helped bama's claim the players were not being paid by Albetar. Geese you really didn't understand any of it did you?

Uhh, that coach may have been on the sidelines for the 2011 A-day game also, Albetar sure was. Not that it matters, but there were pictures of Albetar standing with a smirk by saban who had a shite eating thank you grin on his face as well.
