Webber working on an autobiogrpahy

That title isn't working very hard...

I'm not sure any excuse he gives will be enough.

I cheered for the guy in his NBA days and all and it sucks that the other 4 won't come back to Michigan without Chris but oh well.

It's a rash that won't go away.

Wallet is like a box of chocolates... Ya never know whatcha gonna get...

long past time to move on

I don't see a scenario here that I like.

If he continues to deny everything, it'll feel Lance Armstrong-ish.

If he comes clean, it'll be irritating that he did it through a lucrative book deal instead of letting the Fab Five's complete story be told in that 30 for 30 documentary.

Maybe he's donating his book earnings to charity or he'll surprise me in some other way, but I'm not expecting to enjoy this.

I'll always love C-Webb, despite everything. My favorite player in Michigan Basketball history.

Maybe I am naive, but I'll always love Chris Webber.  As a little kid he was the first basketball player that I can remember as my "favorite player."  Maybe I might have different feelings towards him if I was older when the whole thing happened.  

I want to know if he heard someone call timeout from the bench. Also, will be interesting to hear other stories from the Fab Five days to add to the 30 on 30 special. And, of course, the whole Ed Martin story would be nice too.

A good read, hopefully informative.

Based on everything that has come out of Chris Webber's mouth (or, rather, what hasn't) over the past 20 years, I can think of very little that could come out of this autobiography that would make me think any differently about the six figures that showed up in his family's bank account, and the lack of remorse he has shown for what it has wrought on Michigan Basketball.  

If anything, it just shows he won't do anything unless he's getting paid for his efforts, whether it's play college basketball, or coming clean for not following the rules when he did.  This is a self-serving move that just happens to come at the same time that his period of mandatory banishment from association with Michigan expires.  Sheer opportunism, and if Michigan has a shred of integrity left, there should be no response.  

We've moved on, past the darkness of the sanctions era, and for once, we have something to show for it.  There's no need to take away or distract from what these great kids are doing right now, who are doing things the right way, by letting Chris Webber weasel his way in with a lucrative book deal that will pay him enough to say what he should have been saying all along.

I'm really curious who his Jenny and Lt. Dan were.

What's odd is the starring role of Black Forrest Gump is also being played by Tom Hanks.

I know that many here hate him for what he allegedly did, but people need to understand that when he allegedly took $, he was a kid. Was it wrong? Absolutely. Did fans have a right to be pissed / disappointed / angry? definitely.



But, whatever he did or didn't do happened 20 year ago. During the whole fab 5 debacle, I wad way more disappointed in the adults and coaches who either facilitated any violations or turned a blind eye.

I'm gonna write a book from a non-Webber perspective.



Chapter 1

Spoiled, self-centered, pampered super athlete takes thousands of dollars from a jock-sniffing bookie, gets caught, and defiantly tries to defend his actions. The school is hammered with major violations and suffers irreparable damage to its image.



The End.

He should get Rosenberg to write it, then I'd have double the reason to never read it.

on U-M's campus.  And I'll be the last person to buy or read his autobiography.  But I'm fully expecting he'll write a long, nauseating diatribe about how much he was "exploited" by others for financial gain.   And the part about the wake of destruction he left behind will be conveniently left out.   

It's normal to want to remember the good things that happened from an era and forget about the really bad stuff.  But in this case, when I see Chris Webber either on TV or in the newspaper, all I remember is a lying, self-centered person who doesn't care about the negative impact his actions had on many others as well as his former school.
