Cam Newton

[Wolvrin704]

Well as expected Cam Newton won the Heisman in a landslide.

Newton- 66
Luck- 48
James- 42
Moore- 40

I think the surprise is that James didn't come in 2nd but 3rd.

I also noticed DR did receive 2 votes, 5th places votes to be sure but he at least got voted on unlike a certain other QB who was listed if not as the favorite preseason, certainly in the top 3.

Like everyone knew, Cam Newton won the Heisman Trophy but it's all dirty. Not just what his father allegedly did but the timing of when all this stuff came out- on the cusp of a special season at Auburn. I hope his Heisman stands, unlike what happened to Reggie Bush.

No one is the perfect person in this world BUT the Heisman Trophy is officially a joke.
The first line of the HEISMAN TRUST MISSION STATEMENT - Quote "The Heisman Memorial Trophy annually recognizes the outstanding college football player whose performance best exhibits the pursuit of excellence WITH INTEGRITY."
Taking that statement, here is what the committee views as "integrity".

"Newton allegedly stole a Dell laptop from a UF student’s dorm room and then threw it out of the window when University Police Department officers visited Newton’s dorm today, according to the UPD arrest report. Newton was booked at 2:25 p.m. after the alleged buglary was reported on Oct. 16, according to the report.

Police found out via the university’s computer network that someone had logged onto the student-friendly Gatorlink system with the laptop under the identification "cnewton," according to the report. Newton, 19, signed a waiver form Friday allowing the police to view his Dell computer, which appeared to have been painted black and had the spelling "Cam Newton" in white painted letters on the lid, according to the report.


The serial number from the computer in Newton’s dorm matched all but
one of
the seven digits from the code the UF student said belonged to his
estimated $1,700 computer, according to the report. The computer in
Newton’s dorm had the letter "Q" instead of the student’s "2,"
according to the report.

The officers stepped away from Newton’s room to call and ask the
student if the serial numbers matched, but the computer was gone when
they returned to Newton’s room, according to the report. The computer
was later found by a garbage dumpster outside of the Springs Complex,
where Newton lived on the third floor, according to the report."

And how ironic, or appropriate that ESPN airs it's "Pony Exce$$" documentary on SMU in the 80s directly after the Heisman Trophy Presentation. Very good show too!

I have not watched it yet but I m interested to know if it is any good or not. Have you watched it, if so what did you think?

I have been impressed with the quality of some of the 30 on 30 documentaries but with this one hitting so close to home for ESPN(Dickerson and C. James working for them and all) I wasnt sure how they would handle the cheating aspects of the story.
