HBO wasn't interested in interviewing Auburn players that said they didn't take money

but why would they be? Let's just assume all players are telling the truth. Why would they interview the guys who can't add anything to the story? If I do a story on getting struck by lighting, I'm only going to interview people that have been struck by lightning.

I believe him over you or HBO. Just because they contacted the school doesn't mean they contacted him. Why would he lie about being contacted? He was pretty straight forward through the whole Newton saga.

Yeah, so? Just because 9 interviewed players didn't take money doesn't negate the fact that four did. Those four are going to make for better viewing. Auburn is an evil entity in all this, like it or not. HBO is out to take sides, not inform the masses of the full spectrum


Not complaining about that. Chizik just said he thinks it is pathetic that they only aired players who said they got paid when there were players who said they didn't.

I'm following the subject topic

Pretty sure Chizik's point was of all the Auburn players contacted, 13 total, they only chose four who were willing to say they rec'd money.


So if they had interviewed 9 players that said they weren't paid, and 4 players that were paid, would that help Auburn's case any?

At least they showed Prothro denying getting paid.

The subject topic is.. Chiz lied about being contacted. HBO disputes that completely. Chiz is a big fat nontruth teller. Can't believe anything from the plains ever again.

That would be a legit argument if HBO didn't interview guys from other schools that said they didn't get paid.

I love all the Auburn players coming out saying "I didn't see it, so it didn't happen".

Well frick, no one SAW Updyke poison that tree, he just told people he did it.

The tree is looking pretty bad BTW

And? maybe the others weren't paid. That doesn't change the fact that the the other four said they were paid. If i'm accused of robbing a bank they don't interview bank managers that i havent robbed.


Yes, However when you are a journalist, you show all sides of the story, not just one.

You REALLY don't think his SID would say, "hey coch, HBO wants a quote on four guys who says we paid them to ply football." REALLY?

True, but Chizik said HBO did not make an attempt to contact him.

HBO is saying they contacted the SID and got a no comment. I guess you can deduce that since HBO didn't expressly say they attempted to contact Chizik, he's right.

But his statement is a bit disingenuous when the school's SID office was contacted.
