None of the incorrect facts were mentioned in the video. Just a rehashing on the allegations. But the article there destroys all the "research" done by thayer evans for another one of his shitty attempts

Because it sounds bad for a SEC coach who is a money maker. They need to do something to protect the SEC.

"research"


Using the term very loosely.

How hard is it to check with the registrar to see if said person was even enrolled in school when he allegedly purports to be. I mean that is some basic shite.

The good thing is, we don't have to rely on quotes or determine who we trust more. We can look at the physical and documentary evidence the two reporters have both dug up. Now, it is a little unfair for ESPN, seeing as they've only has one day and SI had 10 months, but seeing as SI has ZERO documentary evidence to support their claims, maybe its not that unfair.

Here's an interview from one of the main accusers in the SI story.

quote:

Make a long story short. Broke my back in July. Started running again about January. Got back on the team. Played a year, didn’t play a year (playing time), whatever you want to call it. After that Christmas break after the season, I came back. I was called into a meeting. Told that this was my last chance. What the frick that mean? Talking about my attitude being right, whatever the frick that mean. Even if my attitude wasn’t right, have any of you mother frickers broke yall spine? No, then tell me what the frick my attitude should be like. All I know is the same day or the next day, I asked for a release and I got released the same day. Without even being talked to about it. Just, “Up there you go. Sign your release, bye.” What kind of shite is that? Maybe it’s just me but I would be a little more sympathetic to this guy who broke his damn spine for yall. Just saying. I did all that work to get back to playing football and I wanted to play football again. The way they called the meeting and the way that meeting was approached, was like, I’m not going to get to play football (for OSU).

Well if they had some documentation you'd think they'd use that in the article. If it takes them one day to take their article apart then that shows how shitty it is.

Holy shite. That dude is mother frickin angry.

quote:

A.W: Before we get started, I’m not going to answer any questions about anything.

My first statement is I don’t give a damn about who was paying who at Oklahoma State. When they were being paid, none of that shite. All I want is what the frick I’m owed from Oklahoma State for breaking my fricking spine and being paralyzed. Ending up doing whatever the frick I’m doing right now with a bull shite degree. That’s all I care about. I don’t give a frick about nothing else. So unless yall got some questions to answer about who gonna pay me and how much they gonna pay me, I have nothing to talk about.

While you're debating sports journalism, please take a moment to reflect that Lennay Kekua died on this day, Sept 12th last year.

After reading that Woods interview this entire OSU story feels alot like Genoa from The Newsroom.

That interview is gold!!

quote:

I signed something that said I will not sue but when I signed it, I bet you I was drugged up on something, some kind of pain medication.


quote:

K: Are you pursing legal action against OSU?

A.W: No, no. Maybe, maybe not. I don’t know. I will not comment on that. Just know, somebody is going to have to pay me what I’m owed.
