re: As The Plains Continue Not To Burn: What if Cam Newton really is innocent?

I don't think Newton was paid at AU but I do think he knew all along that his father was acting as his agent and even if he didn't the SEC ignored their own rules to keep him eligible. Regardless, he is an a-hole. AU fans don't want to admit it because he is their Godlike figure but its not just fans of other SEC schools that think this. Pete Prisco of CBSSports.com reports that AFC Pro Bowl players went after Newton especially hard in last season's game because of how the Carolina Panthers quarterback acted during the week.

Prisco is one of the guys that laughed at the Panthers picking Newton #1 overall and claiming that Gabbert, Ponder, and Locker would be better NFL QBs, so he has ALWAYS had heavy skin in the anti-Cam game.

And do me a favor and point out the direct quotes from AFC players claiming this.

Oh... no player had the guts to put their name on such a claim?

Yeah, that's what I thought. About as reputable a claim as the "Cam cheated on exams at Florida" one.
