I havent watched a TON of Heisman award ceremonies. But Cam's speech was terrible. I almost felt bad for him.
I thought Mark Ingrams might have been the best I've ever heard, and very heartfelt.
Bradfords was ok, very classy. Tebow was normal Tebow. If I remember, Bush seemed to have a pretty good speech. I thought maybe Ricky Williams, but I watched his and he even did a pretty good job given his anxiety. I'd link it if I weren't on my phone.

So does anybody give Cam a run for his money? Or is he a landslide winner in this as well.

Cam has to be the worst in recent memory. Right now I can't think of anyone else.

1. That has to be a very nerve-racking moment.

2. Mark Ingram just sniffled and cried half the time.

3. Tim Tebow has never once had a good interview or speech on camera.

I didn't even pick up on that at first. OP needs to use spell checker.

Probably big white letters that said "Cam's Heisman"

Yes, I know. Plenty of people have won it and handled themselves like a person that has an education higher than middle school student.

Really? Your going to hate on him for crying? The award apparantly meant a lot to him.

3. Tim Tebow has never once had a good interview or speech on camera.


Never said he did.

I was just referring to worse speeches in recent memory, in my opinion Tebow's and Ingram's were worse.

I am a Marine, so thanking the troops was a plus 1 in my book.. It wasn't a perfect speech, but I didn't think it was that bad. Congrats Cam.. Now hurry up and go pro.

Tebow kicks in at about the 4:00 mark.

Putting my hatred of Tebow aside; I dont see anything wrong with that. Like I said, typical Tebow.

I hate Bama and Saban, but I think this was a very honest speech from a good kid.

Oddly enough Ricky Williams might have had the best one.

Cams video isnt up yet. Dont get me wrong, im not trying to hate on the dude. He was very deserving, just looks he kind of booted the speech up thats all.

I didn't think Cam's was that bad. However, I'm sorry, Coach Chizik and Cam just appear/seem super shady and crooked for my taste. They just both appear as a cheap suit.

My grandfather, who is a Korean War vet, was watching Cam's speech with me. When Cam thanked the troops, my grandpa yelled, "Shut Up you piece of ####"
Made my night.

I think more speeches should talk about mother's wombs. That's just from the heart is all.

Also, I liked when he said something about all the things his parents do behind the scenes. I wonder what those things are? Never really thought about that.

Honestly, who watches these things for the speeches? That's like reading Playboy "for the articles."

This is the sort of thing you flip over to about 10 minutes left to see who wins.
