His main gripe was the doc treated Chris Leak like he was a bum of a QB.

But that is shallow of Florida to not give a member of their football team his ring. Even NFL practice players get Super Bowl rings, as well as players that were signed by a team for 1 week.

I was at UF for our 2006 one and I never received a ring, either.

WTF?

Cam didn't get a 2006 or 2008 ring, baw. He was still in high school in 2006, but should have been given a ring for visiting as a recruit that season.

I am thinking the school is trying to disassociate with Chris Leak when they're able to. There was some stuff going on with him being a teacher and some student, but nothing ever happened from it. He resigned and who knows what he's doing now.

OK I'll put it on the list of LSU gripes:

1. Not enough Aaron Hernandez
2. Too much Tebow
3. No Tom Petty Songs
4. Need more footage of Cam Newton throwing stolen laptop in the garbage to avoid getting arrested.

Anything else?

All Cam got from Florida was a used laptop. Not even a used Macbook, baw. McAfee was already expired when he got it too. Bro couldn't even do his homework on it due to all the pr0n viruses.

Maybe someone stole it and sold it before they could get it to him.

That's fine and all, but the documentary didn't need to act like he was a bum when he started as a freshman QB in the SEC and won the NC that started the SEC win streak.

Give me the quote that someone used in the documentary indicating Chris Leak was a bum. I'll wait.

He wasn't a bum, but for a 5*, #1-rated QB, he really never progressed beyond serviceable QB.

Wrong system, not vocal. A bit harsh though to call the Career Yards Passing Leader in University of Florida history "serviceable."

UF graduates can’t afford bus rides that far from campus? There’s always hitching.

Cam Newton said they downplayed Chris Leak's role and acted like Tebow was some program savior. Cam Newton is not one to lie or exaggerate the truth.
