Because he's not Bill Cosby?

Like how do I get my hands on that cash and Blazer?

Or, how do I get my hands on other things?...

Cash and the blazer would have been nice, but it was the "other things."

Because Cosby would be on here bragging about Temple.

And on that note....

Do you know what the difference is between Bruce Pearl and Jim Tressel?

Nothing.

Bu-wa-ha-ha-ha.....

Yes, he was there. Were you or I there? Oh, and a reporter was there too and talked about the situation as well.

Again, are you freaking serious? By his own admission, Webber started taking money when he was in junior high school. The MHSAA wanted to expunge all his high school records too, but Webber's high school refused to do it and the MHSAA didn't have the power to do it themselves.

And this means what? Again if you paid attention the reports the kid played in the gutter of Detroit. Not sure what he benefitted from while in HS.

Soooooo, Webber admitted himself that he took money but others think he was lying. Got it.

Webber was charged with lying to a Grand Jury. He pleaded guilty and was fined $100,000. Yup, he pled "guilty". Whatinthehell is more convincing than pleading guilty?

Maybe you should check some facts, Jeff, before getting on your high horse. Google is your friend.

When did I say anything about what Webber did or did not admit to? I said reports were scratchy as to when he took money and the circumstances. And that Grand Jury was about Martin and his finances, not just about athletes. And the man died before anything was solved.

I am fully aware of the charges and what he was accused of lying to a Grand Jury, not doing anything else wrong legally. I am fully aware of what was reported. And know you want to us Google as a trusted source when anyone can put up things. I would trust the people that cover the team or were around than Wikipedia for God's sake. You make it sound like everyone agrees with the rules of the NCAA and things those kids have to be expected to do. Not every situation is about being an athlete and benefitting from such things.

Peace

At any rate, that's not really the topic so I'll won't delve into it any further.

I did not say they were credible, but they do tend to keep up drama that is silly. And if they are trying to make some issue out of his being at Illinois 8 years ago, do not tell me fans are not right behind them and those opinions. And I never said that the "majority" of anyone felt anyway. Actually you or I will never know how many feel one way or not feel one way on something like this. I just know that Illinois fans bring it up often. I was not even watching the games and that was what several mentioned when the topic came up. Majority or not, it is brought up too much if you ask me.

Have you heard me even talk about Tressel? Actually it is interesting, but I do not care. And what he was accused of was worse than I can remember anyone from the Michigan football program doing.

You obviously do not know much about my personal opinions on Bill Cosby. I will leave it there.

They really aren't relevant to a discussion of whether you wear a sweater vest.

Cosby did not wear a vest.

A conviction on Webber's record for lying isn't a trusted source? An admission by Webber that he was getting money from a numbers operator and money launderer from the time he was in junior high school isn't either? But your personal idea of what actually happened ....even though it's contrary to the written record and can't be proven in any way.....is what happened?

Got it.

The man is a saint.

I'm done. And note I didn't make my point either. History did that for me.
