Brookie with a knee to the gut....

Oh, so they're not credible since they came off the net?  Farked?  Photoshopped?  They are not what they are aight?  The Cease and Desist and Dissassociation Letter aren't a concern?  Actually, they probably shouldn't be because you have the state media willing to do anything to protect da tahd.  Seriously, it all looks completely appropriate and innocent?  Seriously?

Pics from HIS OWN facebook. Evidence supplied by the defendant.

So you know they're not photoshopped. Which they obviously aren't anyway.

[Buzz Killington]

Hell no, I joined every Bama website on the internet and posted it in every place possible.

How were the hushpuppies?

[Snaggletiger]

I've lost intrest as well, he posts the same pictures over and over. He also broke a story about Auburn this week that's at least six months old.

That's breaking news.

[Token]

I don't care about anything he has typed.

The pictures are worth a thousand words.

Bama players unequivocally are being paid to hang out with this dude and sign his shit. You have to be braindead to think otherwise. Unlike the logical leap it takes to assume Newton was paid by Auburn simply because his dad entertained the idea of payment at MSU, there is an abundance of pictoral evidence.

As much as the media and bama fans, those here included, want to say "Nothing could have been foul because Saban wouldn't allow it." Sorry, but Saban is dirty as hell in all of this.

He mentioned the dissociation letter and said he didn't see any reason they shouldn't hang out at his store because "no one has convinced him that anyone had done anything wrong". Two days later the university says "Oh yeah, we dissociated him too". Why didn't Saban mention that two days earlier? Isn't that more tangent to his point? Isn't that bigger news? Why did the university dissociate someone who didn't do anything wrong? A 40 year old middle eastern man, who judging by the captions on his photos, can barely speak English, is best fucking friends with every star on the Alabama football team. Throws them birthday parties, takes them to dinner, etc. They autograph piles and piles of jerseys for him. That latest Brooks article shows pictures from Al-Betar's facebook of Julio in several of his 20ish suits on game days. He says he "suits the players off the field".

You have to be Terri Schiavo to not see that this dude is absolutely paying players.

This is worse than tattoos at Ohio State. There is tons of evidence supplied by the guilty party himself. Saban is just as guilty of trying to cover this up as Jim Tressel.

It will be probably amount to nothing though because of the combined effect of the fact that people have scandal fatigue and would just rather turn their heads and the fact that it's actually football season. Doesn't hurt that Alabama is a favorite son of the media.

But make no mistake, this situation is about as dirty as they come.

If there was any substantial proof of players being paid, there's no way it would amount to nothing.  No way.  And that's my point.  Yes, there are tons of pictures.  Yes, anyone with any common sense can see there is something illegal taking place.  But pictures alone won't get the job done.  Not today, not tomorrow.  Not ever.  There is a story here to be investigated, but Brooks is too busy posting pictures (that were already available to anyone who has a facebook account) to actually find the real dirt.

Brooks is a hack.  He isn't capable of the type of investigative journalism that would be required to find the truth.  However, keeping it somewhat "active" may get someone like Charles Robinson to look in to it...if they're not already.

Charles Robinson loves the UA compliance department.  He's already commended Alabama on the way they handled the T-Town problem.

Well since he's the only investigative journalist out there, you should be ok.  And, as I said, no mileage can be had locally, since all the state media will protect bammer, or lose access.  Finebaum won't even take calls about it, and if it's ever mentioned the fucker says "I'm very confused by it, not sure what any of it means."  It's fucking ridiculous how lopsided it is here, but it is the way it is.  This would be the daily topic for months if it was Auburn players in a Montgomery store.

Well then, Charles Robinson loves teh cock. We need a Bama hater to take up the cause.  Where's my pitchfork?

For the record, this is my only point.  There could be a massive investigation by Yahoo or ESPN right now.  That may be why no one else is commenting on it.  I'm just saying, as long as Brooksie is releasing photos everyday with the same comments over and over, he doesn't have dick.  "More to come" only means he has more photos that he copied from Tom's facebook becore Tom took it down. 

As soon as someone can find some real proof on T-Town Tom, it'll be ugly.  But Brooksie won't be the one breaking it.

Isn't that what I just said?

Isn't that what I just said?

I said it months ago. 

[Jumbo]

I said it months ago.

I said it 2 months ago.

[Buzz Killington]

I said it 2 months ago.

I knew it all along, I just decided not to say anything.

I knew you knew what I already knew.

I'm glad we're all clear on this.

[Snaggletiger]

I'm glad we're all clear on this.

On what?

[djsimp]

On what?

That somebody knows.

[Snaggletiger]

That somebody knows.

Well, that settles it. Someone knows there's a witness to the T-Town bagman and when that witness comes forward.....look out.

Unless he doesn't

Small correction, but very telling...the uat Ath Dept stated, back in July (about a week after the pictures began to surface), that they sent the Disassociation to Tom back on March 30th.  Then two days, after uat made that statement, Coach belittle said that he didn't see anything wrong with his players being around Tom, blah, blah & that they sent a C&D back in December.  Never mentioned the Disassociation Letter & it came after the uat Ath Dept made their statement...Coach belittle didn't get that information in time, before he went on air.....then two openings in the compliance department "opened up".

I know the name but I don't want to get anybody fired.
