OT: Cam Newton offered $1M if he passes lie detector
Someone will apparently offer him $1,000,000 if he successfully answers four questions regarding the scandal at Auburn.

Just reply to this email with your name/phone number/city, answer whether you did or did not recieve pay for play at Auburn, and also give your bank account information and the money will be promptly wired to you from my offshore accounts in Nigerian naira currency.
boss actually replied to one of those emails with all of his info and promptly had $15,000.00 taken out of his account... he went to the FBI and was able to get around $8,000.00 back...
was he your your floor supervisor at Costco?
April 24th, 2011 at 11:19 AM ^
Oh, cool, it's you. Hey, did you get my $10,000 yet? I know the Nigerian mail system can be slow. Just making sure you were able to get your inheritance, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon about my share. Thanks, I was starting to get nervous.

...offer him multi-millions to play in the NFL and not talk about Auburn.

Why not? What happens to him if he gets caught on one? Worst case scenario for him is he pisses off Auburn fans and they get sanctions. If he took money (or knew his dad took money) then he obviously cares more about that than he does the school. If he didn't, then it's an easy mil.

I'm so confused. Are you agreeing with me or not?
April 23rd, 2011 at 11:21 PM ^
but either way, it's still kinda awesome.
April 23rd, 2011 at 11:37 PM ^
I was inferring he won't do the exam since it will identify his true nature...artistically presented by Mr. Henry Rollins.
but Henry Rollins is hard to listen to. In fact, he sucks.

The worst thing that would happen to him would be losing the Heisman. How much is a Heisman worth?
and a back piece.
my bad
In your stance, you make the foolish assumption that lie detectors are 100 percent accurate.
If I was accussed of committing a crime I did not commit, I wouldn't even think about submitting to a polygraf. You have way more to lose than gain.
April 23rd, 2011 at 11:04 PM ^
If he doesn't do it, then I'm just going to continue to assume that he is guilty. Why wouldn't he take it if he had nothing to hide?
April 23rd, 2011 at 11:11 PM ^
But he has something to hide.
April 23rd, 2011 at 11:39 PM ^
Phenomenal.
Einhorn IS Finkle! Finkle is Einhorn!

method on certain Buckeye players, coaches and administrators?
April 23rd, 2011 at 11:18 PM ^
Cam's nothing if not a negotiator. . .he's now waiting for the Auburn booster to pay him more not to do this.

He already admitted to lying....
Honestly I might be wrong about this but didn't he admit to lying with another lie about how he didn't send the emails to anyone else. What else has hiding?
I think Jack might know and I think the NCAA might find out.
April 24th, 2011 at 10:26 AM ^
He was about to admit forwarding it to someone else when the AD (Gene Smith) cut him off and said that they weren't answering that question. The news confirming the forward came from a FOIA request by the Columbus Dispatch.
Because this might just be the tip of the iceberg!
Since Tressel knowingly played ineligible players last year, it makes me wonder about other instances of him playing ineligible players.
I would love to know if Tressel knew if Clarett, Troy Smith, or Ray Isaacs were also ineligible...
I would feel even more vindication about losing to that sweater vested loser.
We lost to them on the field where they didn't cheat during the game, regardless of whether or not the players got there illegally or not. Would have been nice just to have been the better team.
But it would really be nice if Michigan was playing on a level playing field with TSIO when it came to recruiting. Right now, they pay people and Michigan doesn't. That is NOT a level playing field, nor can Michigan be expected to consistently defeat teams that cheat to get more talent on the field.
The phrase, "it's not the X's and O's, it's the Jimmys and Joes," is maybe only about 80 percent true, but that 80 percent is enough to win a lot of games. Coaches can talk about "toughness" all they want, but every coach preaches toughness. And if you are playing against a team that can buy all the talent they want, you are usually going to lose unless they really, really screw up while you play your absolute best.

"Right now, they pay people and Michigan doesn't."
According to whom?
When has the NCAA said OSU paid its players?
Maurice Clarett said he was paid. AJ Hawk had a ton of money stolen from his room, like tens of thousands of dollars in a shoebox. Santonio Holmes has admitted to being on the take from an agent when he was at school.
I think AJ Hawk claimed like, $3k in cash in addition to lots of fancy watches, video games, etc.
But yeah... your point remains extremely valid
That sounds like something an OSU apologist would say. Most people would consider using ineligible players to be "cheating during the game".
April 24th, 2011 at 12:13 AM ^
It doesn't really matter what he does, since even if he takes it and passes I'm sure there will still be people who will think he was "coached" in order to pass it.

A lie detector test isn't supposed to detect lies - it's an interrogation used to gain an admission of guilt.
"Chump change."
Just give it a couple of years until he fails miserably in the NFL and finds he's spent all his money on platinum covered diamonds.
This reminds me of the Seinfeld episode regarding melrose place.
This guy should just leave the over paying of Cam Newton to the team that drafts him in the 1st round.
That is fantastic. No way he ever takes it regardless of the fact nothing can happen to him now. How much would that piss off Auburn fans if he took it knowing he'd fail just for the loot?
Cash, Homie!
