Premise of Selena Roberts story was Mike McNeil maintaining his innocence for 2+ years. 5 days later he pleads guilty.

If that is not the most transparent attorney sponsored blowjob of a "breaking story" EVER, I'll eat my hat.

I will channel my inner Prowler, since he is not here to say it.

BOOM, MOTHERFUCKER!!

And I will add a quiet "Suck it, bitch."

Unfortunately, I don't know if anyone outside the Auburn family will even pay attention to this.  We can look at this and point to it being more evidence of how full of shit she and her hit piece is. But, will ESPN or anyone pick this up?  Of course not.  She did her damage and moved on.

Also, this.

McNeil's motion to continue his trial based on various things, including the "new" revelations last week was DENIED Fri afternoon. #relevant

Some national media noticed.

Mike McNeil: Former Auburn Safety Defended By Selena Roberts Plead Guilty To First Degree Robbery
Ty DuffyApril 8th. 2013, 11:39am

The Auburn narratives keep unraveling. Five days after Selena Roberts went to bat for him, former Tiger safety Mike McNeil changed his plea to “guilty” on first degree robbery charges. He will serve three years in prison.

Former Auburn football player Mike McNeil told a Lee County Judge this morning that he wants to change his not guilty plea. McNeil is charged with robbery. McNeil said he wants to plead guilty to robbery in the first degree. After a short recess the Judge sentenced him to a 15 year “split sentence. He is required to serve three years in jail and then be on probation for an additional three years.

Jury selection for his trial was to begin in McNeil’s trial this morning. So much for the whole “Auburn made him a scapegoat,” he came from a “spiritual family” and he will try to vindicate himself at trial angle.

Posted to bspn facebooks page. Let's see how long it stays.

Gone before I got done here.

So, you mean to tell me that McNeil now says that he's guilty after telling all of us that he didn't know what was going on that night? He fibbed?! That dirty scoundrel.

And according to Sabrina, his mamma said he's always been a good boy. Something doesn't add up.

AU must've encouraged the spice smoking. Somebody better investigate soon.

Exactamundo.

Saw my uncle who is down visiting from Cleveland this weekend.  "So are you worried about sanctions that could be levied against Auburn?"  He is not even a close follower of college sports.

Pat Dye does a mean Mike McNeil impression.

Only when Pat's on the spice. That's why he lost his britches that time on the lake.

Pat's going to be down here Friday at a nursery putting on a seminar on growing those Japanese Maples ( I think)  That seminar is free.  Later in the day, he's doing one on synthetic marijuana.  The cost is $125.00 but you get free samples and a How-To pamphlet on the most effective ways to introduce it to your program.

Duke lacrosse. Her A-Rod book was a joke. Now Auburn DB flips a few days after her story. But we will continue to prop her as credible.

I am now a fan. I don't mind catching hell when it's due but this was nothing more than a hit piece. And a weak one at that. Refreshing when someone in the profession has guts to call a colleague out.

It should be noted that not everyone is convinced.

@ColFootballNews Do you still maintain that the NCAA needs to do an independent investigation of the Roberts report?

‏@ColFootballNews 38m
@TheAuburner Of course ... If the report is totally untrue and Auburn is innocent, then the school has nothing to worry about.

No idea what Mike McNeil did or didn't do, but pleading guilty does not equal, "I DEFINITELY DID IT!!" … http://cbsn.ws/YaJ6jt

Also:

Nothing to hide because the NCAA already ripped our books apart while all of this was supposedly going on.
