Naturally, we’ve hit the point in the story where Cecil Newton, the NCAA, and Auburn aren’t talking. There’s a clear contradiction between what all those other people have said and what Cam has said. There’s even people on record as saying that Cam Newton went to Auburn because “the money was too good.” He’s on record as saying he wanted to be a Bulldog. We also know that something made Cam change his mind about attending Mississippi State in favor of Auburn. First, Cam Newton’s father, Cecil, actively solicited cash in return for his son’s services. Seriously, Cam, do you really expect me to believe you had no idea what your father was up to? Granted, there’s still a lot of this story we don’t know. Toss in his charisma and his “Madison Avenue” smile (trust me, if Cam skates on all this stuff and becomes a star in the NFL, you are going to see that smile selling all kinds of stuff), and its a box-office bonanza waiting to happen. It easily could be the story of a kid who defies all the odds to become the Heisman trophy winner on the shoulders of one the most incredible season’s anybody has ever seen a college player have. I want to buy it, insofar as the Cam Newton story has all the elements of a first-class sports movie. But that doesn’t change the fact I think Newton is full of shit. I will admit that I believe the Newton situation isn’t all that unique its just the one we know about. I will admit there is still a ton of speculation that can be entertained. I will admit there is a lot of this story that has yet to emerge. I’m not going to dance around the issue I’m just going to come out and say it. Here’s Why I Can’t Buy Cam Newton’s Story…
