News Article: Former SEC QB claims mob offered him $300k to fix game, all SEC games are rigged. Bama players involved

[Bpilktree]

The guy played in basically 1 game in college minus few scrub time games. Why would someone offer 300k to a quarterback that most likely wouldn’t play in a game in the first place? That like me asking my neighbor to help me get a date with Halie Berry. He doesn’t know her and can’t help her and this guy won’t play and help any either,

Anyone watch the scar ten women’s game ? That defense on the last shot looked a little suspicious.

They left open a girl that never made a 3 in her career open for a shot that she has to bank in. No one is rigging a game and hoping some 6”7 girl banks in a three pointer at the buzzer.

Now the South Florida game is starting to make a lot of sense!

300,000 to a 3rd string QB at Vandy to throw a game?????? I've been to comedy clubs many times over the years, but this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Now do I believe that people have tried to fix games. Absolutely, whether they succeeded or not is the questions. I think it is more likely officials have been compromised especially after the Ucheat game in 2022.

 

[DzynKingRTR]

yeah, the mob offered me some money to throw a game too. It was really hard because I played in even less games than this guy.

 

[2003TIDE]

Lol. This dude threw 17 passes at Vandy.

 

[CrimsonTheory]

Adter a very difficult week, I have not laugh that hard in quite some time.

If the mob is targeting a backup QB at Vanderbilt, then they are not smart.

We have pass interference, holding, and other subjective calls that are just open invitations for cheating. From watching the games, all around the country, I'd say we have a lot of games being impacted by cheating today, and it's mostly not the players. Coaches are making millions, players that can't even play are making huge bucks, and the guys 'officiating' the games are part time minimum wage guys. It's a system designed for failure.

Are some of the head-scratching coaching decisions we witness driven by external factors?

As the players just become paid mercenaries this will only get worse. Money is money, and when money is the only goal...

You’ll never convince me something wasn’t going on the last time we visited Knoxville.

Did he start any games?

 

[twofbyc]

curious if he reported this contact at the time to his coach, AD, or similar authority... or the FBI ... or if he's just now throwing it out there?

No doubt because of the huge sums of money being thrown around even more money is influencing outcomes. And not just with the athletes. This could explain some of the unexplainable that we've talked about for so long on here.

My guess is they went to a Vandy QB b/c he could influence non-outcome bets (think completions, 1st downs, over/under, yards, etc.) w/o being so obvious... b/c ... Vandy.

But $300k/game? Seems like big bets on Vandy games would trigger the sports gambling watchdog like it did in the Alabama baseball case last year.

Agreed. Money corrupts; it’s naive to think it hasn’t already compromised CFB games, on potentially all levels.
Basketball players, baseball coaches…with NIL now they have to find players who ain’t pulling in six figures, or concentrate on officials who actually can have the greatest success.
Politicians, judges, religious leaders…crazy to think any sector is wholly immune.

 

[colbysullivan]

I have looked at the thread title over and over again, and the only word that’s actually true is “Former”. Literally every other word is false.

 

[CrimsonTitles]

So the Italian mob approaches you about fixing games, and your first thought is to go on a radio show and tell the world about it? You went to Vanderbilt, so we all know you're not that stupid. Not buying it for a second.

 

[twofbyc]

What was he gonna do, send out the wrong play signal?

Agreed. While the “story” sounds plausible, this guy’s place in it is kinda doubtful; unless the mob guy mistook him for someone else (he says not), just doesn’t make sense unless he is involved in sending signals.

The fact that anyone offered a Vandy QB to throw a game is so ridiculously funny...

Maybe the Mob is dumber than we thought.

 

[BigAlinKnoxville]

So the mob offered him $300k to have Vandy lose by 44 instead of only a mere 38?

 

[PA Tide Fan]

The guy just likes to trash Alabama. He claims all the SEC games are fixed yet he somehow only mentions Bama players being involved. Of course he acts like he's morally better than Bama players because he didn't take the money.

Wait, is it this guy?
