Winston now involved in possible point shaving scandal

[DoctorBombay]

Putting a question mark behind any allegation is the easiest way to smear.

Examples:
"Are Jim Boeheim and Coach K secret lovers"? or,
" Ahmad Rashad...does he really support ISIS "? or,
" Did Michael Jordan pay for underage sex"? or,
" Bret Favre- serial killer or unproven rumor "? or,
"Eli Manning- does he still beat his wife "?
:bat::crazy:Oh Lord:rolling::blah:

All this hate towards Winston and how he keeps responding like a boss on the field just makes me like him. I've never seen so much shade thrown at one player in my life. Half of y'all are hating him rn over a made up story lol.

No matter how big an A hole someone is people will like him if he wins, and I think hes the best in college football talent wise. I"m not a fan but I wish we could find a QB with half his ability.

"Did Marsh dump a case of perfectly good PBR's down the toilet and say 'that's where piss belongs'?"

"Did Iommi smash his Sabbath albums and renounce Satan?"

"Does Tomcat secretly belong to the Anti-Tuba Coalition?"

"Say it ain't so: Did Ragman install porcelain urinals in his man-cave?"

"Did Jim Boeheim actually learn the nuances of the 2-3 zone from Igor? Is Igor's act an elaborate ruse?"

"Was JoeCollege fined for bribing local shepherds while attending university?"

TMZ has picked up on the story. If you don't want to take that seriously, then reconsider. TMZ has been breaking some huge sports news recently.

Well, now maybe we know how 'Cuse kept it somewhat close last month.

That's Phase II of any media-fueled "allegation": Different news orgs, some credible some not, pick up the story then replay it as "according to so-and-so Winston is alleged to have shaved points".
Most people read the headline, and after seeing the same story replayed a 1000X, the "allegation" becomes fixed.
Not saying that Winston is innocent, but TMZ, Yahoo Sports, ESPN, or MHVER replaying this "story" doesn't mean very much.
JMHO

We kept it close because their defense is average, our defense is darn good, and we had two true freshman overcome an inept offensive system and make plays. Winston still got his, but our D limited him.

They picked it up, but its all the same info that IB brought to the table, and he has negative credibility, if that's possible. TMZ didn't add much if any original reporting, IIRC.

True, but they've (surprisingly) are gaining some traction in the sports world. I'm guessing that they at least dove into the story a little deeper before killing their entire credibility in the sports realm, which they really added to as the NFL slowly unraveled. Maybe even uncovered some nip slips in the process, who knows.
