While I can only assume that the sound of glorious trumpets in your head is drowning out any possibility of being heard I am -- at the behest of others -- going to try again to make you see just what a horrible idea this is.
Here's the thing:
What is there to possibly gain from this exercise in futility?
Do you seriously think Danny's going to tell you the name of his so-called Bagman? Even if he miraculously drops a name on you, Chopper, what will you do with it? Publish it? Say Danny told you but you were sworn to secrecy?
Any answer there makes things worse for everybody.
What's more likely to happen is that Danny sees an opportunity. He's already reeled you in with a completely insincere dash of flattery. And now your ego is writing checks you can't cash.
It could easily go something like this:
He'll talk like you're old pals and when he senses you've lowered your guard, Danny will ask casually something like "so if you had to guess, who do you think the NCAA told me was the bagman?"
And then without thinking you'll toss out six or seven of the names you've read on the whacka-doo message boards as possibilities.
Well that's a very interesting list. I will say that the person I have knowledge of lives in the Southeast and has been in at least one bank. That might help narrow your list down.
I hear ya. Can't give out the dealio, but I'm picking up what you're laying down here.
Your conclusions are as good as mine, but I think you understand why I can't provide you the name, only contextual clues so you can make your own findings. I've done nothing but tell the truth. The NCAA knows it.
Yeah, I know. Just sayin...
Two days later Sheridan tweets: Representative of Auburn media confirms knowledge of Auburn's pay scheme.
Four days later Sheridan is on Finebaum:
Interesting conversation with an Auburn media member last week. In the course of our discussion he was able to identify the person who had previously been identified to me as the person who allegedly provided payments to Cecil Newton.
Finebaum (shrieking): This confirms that Auburn has known about this all along and has been covering it up for nine months. If street-level Auburn reporters are aware of who made the payments, don't you believe Jay Jacobs knows? We know Jay Gouge doesn't, he doesn't know anything. But Jacobs knew. Dye knew. Do you think Bo Jackson knew?
And then the cycle starts all over again.
I don't care if you get pissed off or not, Chopper. This is not about benefiting Auburn or doing anything positive. This is 100% about inflating your own fucking ego. Stop it. Leave this alone. It has already died a natural death. Why kick the corpse?
