...I hesitate to even post this article, but I found it entertaining. Let's see if we can keep the discussion civil for 3-5 pages.

If Auburn players were featured in all of these pictures, I'd be the second most popular person in Alabama behind Bear Bryant.

Because it's Alabama players, some Bama fans want me dead, I'm a terrorist, I'm a racist, I'm cheating on my wife. Hell, I feel a bit like Barack Obama. Pretty soon Alabama fans are going to be demanding my long-form birth certificate


Funny article.

This was interesting to me as well

I thought NBamaAlum and mre might be interested too. As well as some others.

Clay you "Sun of bitch"! Roh Tahd Roh! Good stuff, the toothless mullets are finally being called out for their years of cheating.
Alabama and Auburn fans are ridiculous. I hope both fanbases are embarrassed on the 30-for-30. They deserve it.

I think this guy's email pretty much nails it.

Ryan P. writes:

Think about this scenario:

Hundreds of pictures are cirulating all over the interwebz of Cam Newton, Nick Fairley, Michael Dyer, and other Auburn players signing hundreds of autographs on hundreds of different types of memorabilia in a suit store owned by an Auburn booster. Auburn became aware that the owner was selling these items and HAND DELIVERED a generic cease and desist letter to the owner without addressing it to him or the business. THEN, after he apparently didn't cooperate with the cease and desist, then hand delivered him a disassociation letter three months later. Then...THEN....Gene Chizik goes on national radio three days ago (four months after the disassociation was supposedly delivered) and says...and I quote "we sent him a cease and desist a long time ago so that was taken care of. I'm not aware of any wrong doing so until someone proves to me that rules were broken, and they haven't yet, I'm not going to ban our players from going there. It wouldn't be fair to our players."

The national media would absolutely rip Chizik apart, and Finebaum would literally be laughing, scoffing, and calling for him to be fired. Chizik and Auburn would be the laughing stock of college football. But if the all powerful Nick Saban says it, everyone nods their head in agreement and doesn't question a thing. This is not a joke..Nick Saban said it. First of all, God forbid the dictator that is THE NICK SABAN, who is in control of EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of HIS football program, from top to bottom ask his players to stop hanging out in a men's clothing store. I mean, that wouldn't be fair. And what would his poor players do in their spare time? Secondly, if their utter failure of a compliance department saw enough shady crap going on that they not only sent the booster a cease and desist letter, but later completely disassociated themselves from him, then aren't those possibly...maybe good enough reasons for Lord Nick to go out on an "unfair" limb with his players and ask them to...I don't know...maybe stop going to the store? No...of course not. I mean, no one had PROVEN TO HIM THAT RULES HAD BEEN BROKEN. Wouldn't want to be unfair to those poor players that like to hang out in men's clothing stores. Hey little nicky, if your compliance department disassociates from a booster, and 4 months later you still haven't told your players to stop hanging out in his store, signing hundreds of autographs, and posing for pictures, you might want to go ahead and do that. This is not a joke. This actually happened. Nick Saban actually said what I quoted above. And NOT ANYONE has questioned the utter stupidity of that statement and the obvious questions it raises. You can't make this stuff up.

I have a feeling the email is already full and phone number disconnected.

I think it was small of Clay to publish those.

If what he is reporting is factual and accurate then I am def. ok. TTMW issue def. should have been adressed. My problem with him is that he used pictures as the whole basis for one of his stories that players should have known because they walk past the kiosk in the mall and its not even a picture in the right mall. That's what I have problems with. If he wants to draw inferences and state them that is fine. I don't have to like them but he has as much a right to think that as everyone outside of AU believes Cam's dad took money. The problem is he is using evidence that is clearly wrong.

Agree. My first thought was how does he even know this was this guy's phone number? Guy could have been trolling and posted someone else's number.
