Shockey's camp comments on the U scandal

[chad]

I was at training camp today and Shockey made an off-the-cuff remark to a fan wearing Miami Hurricanes gear. It went a little something like this.

"Hey there's a Miami guy. Don't listen what that media is saying." With Cam in the forefront of the crowd, "Hey they did that sh*t in Auburn too". Cam bows his head and shakes back and forth.

Ooops. Open mouth and insert foot Shockey (though he's right).

It's the worst kept secret in sports- everyone knows.

Everyone on this entire forum would have taken money if they had the kinda of talent those guys have.

So morality or the lack thereof is determined by athletic talent? I guess this explains a lot.

It's pretty much impossible to have a competitive, clean D1 program. Too many people involved - coaches, players, boosters, agents, tutors and on and on. You can't monitor everyone 24/7. However, Miami looks like SMU all over again. They didn't even try to hide it. When it runs that deep, you have to wonder how serious the NCAA truly is on compliance. Seems like it's hush hush until it blows up, then the NCAA is forced to act.

NCAA amateurism is a sham.

Purely directed at Cam.

Positioning was ... the crowd at the end zone, Cam and QB's working in the end zone and the rest of the team behind them working. Shockey was turned around facing Cam and the crowd. Cam was in the direct line of fire.

An obvious dig at the glamour boy. Here's something to ponder--was it intentional or merely a blurt out of his subconscious?

What does Shockey have against Newton?
