    I did nothing of the sort. You’re upset I didn’t take the bait for the lame trap you tried to set lol.

    Cam has only been guilty of being obnoxious and referring to himself in 3rd person. But other than that, he’s not a thug. I do think that maybe sometimes his mouth is what tends to get him into trouble

    Fred, channing, and Ryan Clark had a 10 minute segment on their pod about this incident. I thought it was pretty well said.



    Maybe I posted the link correctly, sorry if I didn't.

    Dude, nail yourself to the cross much? You aren't a victim here. Stop pretending to be one.

    Not sure that was Tim's fault as it was the fault of the losers who glommed onto the two sides of that. We have a couple on this thread. You'll notice their fondness for playing the martyr.

    It certainly speaks to the culture of "We Be Ballin' 7-on-7" football.

    His arm was gone by the end. I think he had a shoulder injury near the end that just wreaked it.

    When you have to answer questions from ET, People, TMZ on a Wednesday, it's a distraction.

    Yeah I think the guys had a good point, when you come back to an area after you made it, everyone there is giving you their best shot, because they never accomplished anything and so this is there super bowl or moment.

    Sometimes people can handle the back and forth when it comes to good natured trash talk, and some just can't. If you have ever played much pick up basketball, it's like the 80/20 rule and you know who those 80 are and you figure out pretty quick who the 20 are. It's best not to poke the one who just can't take it. You never know what they're capable of, and if they think landing a sucker punch on a pro athlete is their 15 seconds of fame, they will take it.

    I remember seeing him near the end and just being shocked at how bad his arm was. Even his motion seemed screwed up. Definitely not the guy who could throw it through a bank-vault door early in his career.

    This is the only explanation that makes any sense. Like many, I only heard about the laptop issue. We had many other players doing equal or worse that didn't get kicked off the team, pot, barking at police dog, AH etc. I was hoping the laptop was a stupid freshman type mistake that he would learn from and we would likely have another natty and maybe Meyer would have stayed.
    People are bothered by Cam because he won for Auburn that could have been us as well as the issue with his dad getting money (which is no big deal now).

    Neck nerve issues (arthritis, pinched nerves and multiple surgeries) did him in. You're right, his last season throwing the ball was painful to watch and that Bronco defense really led the way.

    I was talking about Cam not Peyton, but very similar.

    He never bothered me because, unlike many in similar situations, he never talked chit about us. In fact, if I remember correctly, always said good things about UF, Meyer, etc.

    Very mature of Cam to hold himself accountable, apologize to everyone and not make excuses by blaming the other knuckleheads, even tho he easily could have.

    If some of the more egregious stuff I’ve heard about Cam’s time at UF are true- and I don’t know if they are or not, but where there’s smoke there’s fire- then it’s in Cam’s best interest to not piss off UF, lest the story come out…
