AA has elevated the dark arts of sandbaggery to a whole new level that the rest of us can scarcely comprehend.
especially those from Auburn

No. Bama doesn't get investigated. And if they do get investigated, they don't go on probation. And if they do go on probation, they only have to vacate a few meaningless games from the Mike Price era.

Bama is too big to fail.

You mean the Coach Price era?

Yes, the Head Coach at Alabama Mike Price era. Thank you for the clarification.

There is no evidence that any bought any (and you can't make this up) holographic pyramid stickers and deer-antler spray.

It's too late, AA. It's now official. Everybody now knows Bama's players were all hopelessly juiced. Bama's 2012 NC has now been forever tainted.

Nothing you can say now can change that. What's done is done.

Holographic pyramid stickers and Cam are a bit different. The attempts to deflect continue, though, I see. :::sigh:::

Anyway, I know it bugs you, but most people believe that Auburn was not charged in the same way OJ was found not guilty of murder. It's just the way it is.

You forgot the deer antler fur part. (At least that was on JOX today)

Quit trying to deflect from your team's manifest guilt, sir. Bama's 2012 team were all 'roided up. We all know they did it. No wonder they were so big and fast. They were a team of 100 Lance Armstrongs.

Bugging me? I'm in full LMAO mode. This revelation was perfectly timed.

I'm not saying that the Alabama staff gave the players PED's directly, just that they knew about it and approved. That seems pretty clear to all but the most nonobjective commentators.

Now that Nick's secret is out, expect him to scratch his NFL itch next season. CARPE DIEM, Nick!

Deer Antler Spray is mostly viewed as snake oil by scientists, and it has been known about for a couple of decades in sports and has roots much older. It does have a minute amount of IGF-1, though.

Some may remember Health Evans being interviewed a couple of years back and endorsing the product. Stated he learned about it from other players at Auburn.

Many athletes have endorsed it, but like the magnetic bracelets, it's generally felt that it's bunk. But, I suppose, if you think it helps, it will. Kinda like pheromone sprays.

Hardly a coincidence that the company that markets this stuff is located in Birmingham, epicenter of Bammer Nation, and home to the Paul Finebaum Radio Network

Speaking of which, I can't believe that cheap-ass radio station wouldn't shell out the clams for the Voice of the South

Evans said he learned only recently of Ross (pictured below), SWATS, and the Ultimate Spray from players at Auburn, where he attended school and where he is training during the lockout. Several Auburn players say they used another SWATS product called "chips," which are holographic patches embedded in bracelets or taped onto acupuncture points on the body. The chips contain formulas for over-the-counter nutrients that help restore energy and strength, according to Ross. Several Auburn players say they wore the chips during the 2010 season and credit them for helping them win the 2011 BCS title game.

Paul signed with another station. Has a three-month non-compete. He coulda gotten around it, but word is, he wanted some time off to recharge his batteries. Sounds like he needed the super-special pyramid hologram chip.

I wouldn't doubt if Auburn is tied into this as well. Birds of a feather and all

I haven't really listened to him much since early in the season. I figured that the last few weeks of December would've been unbearable.
