With the latest allegations thrown Cam Newton's way--that he cheated on numerous occasions at Florida--it is becoming apparent that the only way to stop Cam Newton is to derail him with off-the-field stuff. What's next? That Cam was invented by NASA? That he was 5'7, 180 until four years ago when he started taking certain "supplements"?
I do not know what is real and what is not regarding these allegations. Coach Gene Chizik's defense was pathetic. Loudly chanting that Newton is "eligible" was specious at best. Yes, we know he is eligible. Reggie Bush was eligible when we first heard allegations thrown his way.
Meanwhile Rece Davis kept wondering out loud if Newton had already wrapped up the Heisman. Ummm, he is being accused of shaking down schools while deciding where he would transfer to. Just a few months removed from Bush returning his Hesiman and voters are going to run to give the prize to a guy who has already been arrested for accepting stolen merchandise and then has been accused of soliciting money for the privilege of suiting him up? That is crazy.
What bothers me the most is that this crap can potentially overshadow a fine season.
