Kramer also said Real Sports was close to adding Cam Newton to the episode.

No, just enjoying the hypocrisy. Cam was asked if he took money...he is lying. Tyrone was asked teh same thing..he is not.

If you are enjoying our hypocrisy, you must be in balls out splendor with your own.

In order for cam to be on HBO Cecil wanted it ot be paid 20 k in four installments of 5 k a piece that were to go to his cousin who works at a nonprofit church in Chicago. It just got too complicated for them. (LOL)

Ok but in a story about guys saying they got paid on camera?
As I said in a different thread, this is how the SMU thing went down. A player that was hurt/bust got pissy and dropped dime.

May I criticize the thread title?
To me the shocking part of the story was the allegation an Auburn coach was directly involved in paying the players
Hundred dollar handshakes don't shock me. Whorestesses at tOSU or Tenn etc don't shock me... but I am surprised the paying of players is so accepted that a coach would directly participate
BTW, this is not to excuse the handshakes or the cockshakes... esp the prostitution is pretty unsavory to have associated with college athletics (it has just been somewhat obvious that it is)

It's Auburn. Doesn't surprise me. Not like they don't have a history of coaches paying folks.

I know... its is just so fricking arrogant for a coach to be so directly involved
I guess I'm just taken aback... gotten more used to the idea of a Calipari type cheater who covers his arse with bag men and plausible deniability
Ethically there is probably no difference. But it says something about the culture of cheating being acceptable

So, let me get this straight. The 4 guys that HBO found were:
1. McGlover, someone who Auburn told shouldn't leave early, yet he did and didn't get drafted. 2. Reddick, a guy who didn't cut it in the NFL and now is trying to make in the arena leagues. 3. Gray, a guy who came to Auburn as damaged goods and never could even make the 3 deep because of his bad knee. 4. Chaz Ramsey, a guy who just sued Auburn because of his back injury.
I will say, I have no clue if these guys got paid or not. I am positive that they probably did get $ handshakes because that happens at every school. Even non-BCS schools. But why not get some of the bigger players to speak out. Why get the guys who are poor, or have an axe to grind. If Raven Gray got paid, then I am sure that Jason Campbell or Ronnie Brown would have a lot to say. The guys that HBO picked don't exactly have the best reputation to start with, and it doesn't help the story's credibility.
It's always the shitheads that talk...the players that never made it and/or have some kind of axe to grind and/or feel slighted. It's hardly ever the superstars that make it rich in the NFL that talk.
See SMU. It wasn't James and Dickerson that talked. To this day, neither will fess up. It was the no-name lineman that got kicked off the team that ended up spilling the beans and opening up pandora's box.

Of course man.
People that pay more than their fair share of taxes bitch and moan. the ones that don't sit back and enjoy it. just human nature to complain to try to get something done (the stupid / passive way) when they feel wronged.

So a guy who doesn't end up living up to their potential is a shithead now?
To me those people are the heroes who expose the truth. The real shitheads are the ones like James and Dickerson who continue to be in complete denial. AKA the liars and the cheats.
Just because they didn't end up making something of themselves on the field doesn't mean they are a shithead. They deserve credit for doing the right thing.

How involved were the SMU coaches? I guess it was their AD who was supposedly sending letters with money wasn't it?
LOIC came down from that one... the omigod to me remains the potential direct involvement of Auburn coaches... that seems like LOIC
