Not since the attacks on Cam has the agenda by ESPN been so obvious. Manziel has been drugged through the mud the last 5 months and now the surfacing of this 8 month old issue has brought out a full court press against him by the talking heads. To hear Rece Davis attack him and the program while not saying a word about bama and T-town Menswear shows the selective journalism that exist at the network. Clay Travis is the only one to show any parallel in the two stories. I think the College Football World is going to see how the network pushes certian programs and attack others with the same zeal as the National Enquirer.

I'm sorry you're butthurt, but the NCAA never opened an investigation into the T-town Menswear thing. Maybe you should start there.

I do not think ESPN waits on the NCAA to make reports.

1. The only reason Cam remained eligible was by the graces of the NCAA beliving him that he was unaware of what his father had done. They could have easily chosen not to believe him.

2. JFF has only one person to blame for his troubles: JFF.

ESPN had zero to do with either case.

If Alabama had half the power some of you idiots think they do, then why in the Hell did the Means scandal ever happen. Or the Langham scandal?

Like the guy before me said: I haven't heard any accusations of anybody putting foreign substances into Manziel's body, other than Manziel himself.

I think you managed to hit all the ITAT talking points in one rambling, semi-coherent paragraph.

ESPN Is report and in some instances an anchor is giving his own opinion.

Sorry you're too stupid to realize that.

Has Phil Fulmer been back to the State of Alabama since he quit coaching?

Dragged and drugged are two very different things. That being said though, it's really too easy to keep from having your name "dragged" through the mud. Too easy! He chose a different route, though.

I haven't looked but I can almost guarantee that there is a 3+ page thread on this same thought process over at ITAT.

Yeah, because he's known for having journalistic integrity and being unbiased.

It is not about bama's power, but a networks influence on the odds of a matchup beneficial to their TV package. We seen it the last two years with Rece Davis and Edwards showing the college football world why a team deserves to be in the BCSNCG after two home losses. In this case they see bama's biggest challange from JFF, so take him out of the equation. They do not want to depend on a&m running the table to get the SEC matchup for the eighth straight year.
