Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
You find out the real mettle and character of a person when they face adversity. THIS is Cam. He's a petulant child. When things go well for him he dances and smirks and taunts and rubs it in the opponents face. Here is 150 secs of him reacting to NOT getting his way. Look at his body language....sulking, sighing, rolling his eyes, and pooching his lip out. He could out sulk a 3 year old. There is NOTHING admirable about his behavior.

His own teammates and Panthers front office was calling him for this type behavior in games when they were losing (until this past year) or Cam was not playing well. When it's good it is all great, but when it's bad..........

I need a good laugh.:biggrin: Wasn't there a gif of a spider crossing the screen on the play where he sloughed off diving for the football on a fumble?:eek2: Or was that someone else?:conf2:
Roll Tide!

This x 100. He acts like a 3 yr old. When things go great, it's all biscuits and gravy. When things don't, he sulks and pouts. Don't come out and pretend to be Superman when you can't hear an opposing player talk and have to walk off like an offended old woman. Can't stand him and it has nothing to do with him being an Aub..

Let's not forget that Cam is a documented narcissist. He absolutely thrives on adoration, be it from elementary school kids or college kids.
Has he grown up the last few years? I don't see any evidence of it. Narcissism is not something that you grow out of...:cool2:
I wouldn't put a lot of stock into that. At least a major part of that was for "show". His Heisman campaign was handled by people that know what he needed to do for style points.

Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
Well, that just about covers it.
Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
I don't doubt anything that you say. In fact, that was always what my impression was.
When I asked my buddy what he thought of having Frank Thomas on the team, he got agitated. (That is an understatement.)
Maybe I should rephrase this: what goes on in the clubhouse stays in the clubhouse. Or, at least it should. I am privy to some things that perhaps I should not be privy to.
(98% of what I am privy to, but perhaps shouldn't be, is some really funny stuff. Still, I don't repeat any of it. I rarely hear about the other 2%, so I definitely will not repeat any of it.)
(Ok, the funniest one involves a certain no-name pitcher, and his actions at the post-game buffet. Stuff like that. Said no-name later got a World Series ring, so add that into the mix.)

Greg Maddux is my favorite pitcher of all time. Dude is seriously underrated despite being a Hall of Fame pitcher.
Doesn't seem like Maddux style. Also, he only ever went to the world series with the Braves and just pitched for the Cubs, not the White-Sox before that.

Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
Probably not, Frank and Greg never played together.
Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
Sorry. I didn't read closely enough and didn't understand that it was somebody who played with Thomas. My bad. Maddux was involved in some crazy stuff (pranks/hijinx) and it sounded like something he'd do.
Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
You missed the part about "no-name". Maddux fails that dubious distinction.

Re: Plain Trouble on "Da Plains" (all AU posts here)
Not only was he not a "no-name" he 2 names. "Greg Maddux." "The Professor."

I haven't done much of this. I took this off of another site. Have I violated any protocols?

Only if you murder the coach...and then it depends on whether or not the coach was winning or not.

I don't believe Auburn had much to do with shaping his viewpoint or helping him mature in any way. That is the thing that is the most hilarious. Some Auburn fans feel they had a huge part in transforming Cam into a much better person than he was before they bought....uh I mean, recruited him.
Cam said early in his career he wanted to help and or work with children. I think he has a soft spot for kids and it's not some phony ploy to make himself look better.

You can be charitable and still be a tremendous piece of crap.
