Eric Dickerson and the Gold Trans Am
« on: January 18, 2022, 12:58:18 PM »
Great read https://www.dmagazine.com/sports/2022/01/eric-dickerson-finally-tells-the-truth-about-that-gold-trans-am/

For the TL;DR crowd, from Dickerson, himself:

Quote
Now, until the present day, I’ve always said publicly that my grandparents bought me that car. My grandfather made good money from his job as a crane operator at a steel mill, and my grandma’s name is on the paperwork, so that’s technically true. But behind the scenes, A&M had agreed to reimburse her. And that, my friends, is how the notorious Trans Am was paid for.

This is my shocked face.

Fuck him and fuck James, too.

Not for taking the benefit.  Congrats to them for pimping the pimps.

Fuck them for participating in (or at least not denouncing) the "amateurism" of NCAA sports.

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.
