Griffin for Heisman

I promise I wrote this last night and forgot to post it this morning. 

[It’s been said that “Good guys finish last”, but not this time. 

Robert Griffin III is a dual threat quarterback, but to describe him as such would leave out a key dynamic to who this Baylor Bears quarterback truly is. He’s a triple threat quarterback. 

Defensive coordinators aren’t the only ones that can’t slow this 6 foot-2 inch standout athletic quarterback down. He is involved in numerous entities outside of school that benefit the community. Griffin has been involved with Special Olympics, Santa's Workshop and Food for Families.

And now he’s up for the Heisman Trophy, and nomination by himself in a pre-acceptance speech in a post-game interview following Baylor’s win against Texas Saturday night.

Born in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan, Griffin may be the most versatile football player in the country. He is the fastest man on the field nearly every snap, seeing as he was a stand out in the 110 meter hurdles. He could be an Olympian, instead he is gunning for the most prestigious award in the land the only way he knows how.

The more I read about Griffin the more I think he deserves the Heisman.  Vote cast.]

Hmm... well there you have it. 

SCAM NEWTON

“I’m very confident, you know, I’m a person that has did nothing wrong,” said Cam Newton, 2010 Heisman/Davey O’Brien/Maxwell Awards Winner. “And you know whoever wants to ask me that question I’m gonna tell them I’ve stayed firm and told the truth.” http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5903485

In my professional opinion, I just can’t believe him. And this may end up tarnishing the game of college football FOR… EV… ER.

Okay, maybe that was a little drastic and overblown. But I do believe this isn’t the last we’ve heard of the Cam Newton scandal. Like pop’s Thanksgiving stew (it’s going to be frozen in the outside freezer until March) this isn’t the last we’ve seen of it.

The NCAA will find out and they will get theirs. Adolph Rupp and the Kentucky Wildcats had to forfeit the entire 1952 season, just 2 years after they won the National Title. Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman, and USC is still suffering. They don’t care if you the baddest dude in the all the land, they will nab you if you broke the rules.

The interview with Chris Fowler was misleading. Newton didn’t ever give a straight answer about his father, other than his ‘unconditional love’ for him. And Fowler looked like he held back, like Newton’s publicist gave him a stern talking to about not going into to much depth about the allegations. It wasn’t scripted, but Newton knew what not to say. (And the blandness of the conversation is probably the reason you have yet to see it.) Also the Letterman Top-10 (where I get all my hard-hitting bits, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWztPwFOxiY) had no reference to the money. You would think that the writers would have a hay-day on this. But they, once again, were held back by something. Not good.

Like a big Ruby Tuesday dinner on your 21^st birthday… this isn’t the last you’re gonna see of it. So watch out CAM!
