Is Bama next?

Does it ever amaze you (or bum you out) to think "that quadruple bypass waiting to happen blocked two field goals in one game"?

There are 20+ photos of Bama jerseys, hats, gloves, and pictures on display inside the suit store!

I want to know when the picture was taken of Julio Jones signing a stack of jerseys. Surely this guy didn't have 40 identical Julio jerseys autographed for the display in his suit store.

Maybe he gives them out as Christmas gifts. Maybe he hocked them on Ebay or Craigslist. Maybe he's got some weird fetish and he rubs them all over his body in the shower.

It doesn't appear that he sold them through his business.

:eek:lol:

I was hoping you had something better than that because I can't stand Clay Travis as much as the next guy.

Quote from new article:

Clay Travis said:
But OTKC is going to have a ton of programs in the crosshairs before all is said and done. We're not going to discriminate on what we cover, who we cover, or how scandalous those stories may be. We're completely independent so we can actually chase stories that other entities -- cough, ESPN, cough -- are too much of pansies to cover.

We're going to blow up the NCAA before all is said and done. Stories like the Alabama one prove what a crap system currently exists. Shining the light on them exposes the fraudulent foundation of modern college athletics.

Sure you are, Clay. One SportsByBrooks is enough, thanks.

If no SportsbyBrooks, then ESPN gets away clean with Feldman debacle, tOSU gets off w/o a tarnished reputation, Auburn lives on, etc.....just sayin'

With the way social media is today, more of this stuff will continue to come out.

Google any well known player and you can find autographed items for sell on ebay.

I dont think this blows up unless Bama has tried to cover up a violation.

I do think the letter was a CYA move by Bama. It may just be enough to give the NCAA an out, in which they can let Bama skate on this.

Oh well. Let the NCAA do their job (laughable, I know). I can do without all of the amateur private investigators using every minor violation in college football for shameless self-promotion.

I mean suits...really? Autograph signings? I was listening to 3HL and Clay was going on and on about how these bama players go back to Tuscaloosa to sign autographs for a lot of money once they graduate. Wow, big deal. Ever wonder why Eric Berry pops up in grocery stores around Knoxville signing autographs? Every Tennessee player on the Vol Walk is in a nice suit, do we really need to investigate how they paid for it? I always thought this stuff was common knowledge and just ignored.

Convincing yourself that you've got the ability to take down the NCAA is not just a delusion of grandeur, it's a sign of insanity. The NCAA will exist because the schools want it to. The schools want the NCAA to keep sports programs honest up to a point, but the NCAA's primary purpose is to help the schools make money.

Travis and Brooks are running with this idea that if they release enough photos of players doing the exact same thing over and over, the NCAA will have to do something. But the fact is, if something isn't a violation, it doesn't matter how many times someone does it, it still isn't a violation.

Yahoo and the Columbus Dispatch are to thank for tOSU, and Brooks big exposes on the barn haven't yielded very much. He deserves credit for the Feldman story, but his batting average is pretty poor.

I don't claim to have proof. I'm simply stating the fact that posting a picture of someone in a suit does not prove that the suit came from a specific store, nor how that person acquired it.

Further, define "hanging out." I'm not sure how you can judge how long someone spent at a certain spot from a few photographs.

Can you paste a link to one of those sites? Everything I've seen so far does not indicate that he's sold anything signed by, or received from, current players. It appears that it's for display purposes only. If he's selling that stuff, it certainly would change some things.

bamawriter said:
Correct. As of yet, there has been no indication of a cover up by Alabama. Not saying it's not possible, I'm simply saying that there is absolutely no proof of it.

It says selling, distributing for commercial purposes, or using for marketing/advertising. So far, I haven't seen a photo or link that shows him selling the gear or signatures of current players. Plenty of stuff displayed, but none for sale.

Work firewall is killing SbB. Can someone paste the important facts? Specifically, was Ingram's suit for sale prior to his final game at Alabama, and given that the suit actually belonged to the clothier, was Ingram somehow involved in its sale?

There's more, but it got old reading the same thing over and over:

It's amazing how bammers have ruined the little good to be found on sports talk here in the 7th circle of Hell whining about auburn but completely ignore something that is right in front of their face.

Move along now. There's nothing to see. Clay Travis and the NCAA should buy the bammer team an ice cream cone in light of all of this. Anything else would be racist.
