Posted on 2/6/10 at 3:37 pm

...Once regarded as the #1 player in his class. [1]
...Charles Scott once said "He has swag" [2]
...Publicly criticized LSU coaches, causing people to call him arrogant [3]
...Rumored to hang out with thugs while at LSU [4]
...Once sold his LSU student-athlete tickets for a profit [5]
...Once told a sports reporter it would cost $1000 for an interview [6]
...Had an issue with gambling [7]
...Once arrested for being in possession of counterfeit money [8]
...Once arrested for getting into a brawl in Baton Rouge [9]
...After he left LSU, his coaches described him as "aloof" and "not one of the guys." [10]
So, which former LSU football player is it?

2. "Scott saw through the old body and white, thinning hair. He saw what a lion Cannon must have been, recognized the things that don't ever leave a star. 'He has swag,' Scott says now." LINK
3. "He publicly criticized Charles McClendon, the LSU coach, and people imagined him arrogant" LINK
4. "[H]e worked for and ran with local union leaders and suspected mafia bosses." LINK
5. "Cannon, who made money by selling off an entire section of Tiger Stadium seats...." LINK
6. "At first, Cannon wanted $1,000 to talk. Through an intermediary, Cannon was told THE SPORTING NEWS does not pay for interviews." LINK
7. "By 1983 he was in financial difficulties from bad real estate investments and gambling debts. LINK
8. "He served 2 1/2 years as head of a ring that counterfeited $6 million in $100 bills." LINK
9. "One of Cannon's beating victims filed charges just before Cannon's senior year in high school. Cannon received a 90-day suspended sentence and probation" LINK
10. "Looking back, they realize they didn't really know him at all. Even then, he was a mystery. Dietzel describes him as 'aloof' and 'not one of the guys.'" LINK

From the camera angle GG won that race. Blue admitted it. Regardless, ghost was wearing jeans and Blue was wearing an apron.
