AP Travels to Cecil Newton’s Church, Not Impressed.
Cecil Newton’s Church: “However, the church looked more like an old warehouse than a house of worship during a visit on Sunday. The front entrance was a locked glass door with drawn curtains, and had a giant garage suitable for a big-rig on the side. There was a dusty cement floor with a few folding chairs. A giant plank of wood riddled with nails covered one of the entryways. There was a no trespassing sign in front and neighbors said the church hasn’t been used in months. However, Cecil Newton’s name was still on the sign.” Sounds like a dump, or, in Williamsburg, a happening hipster enclave. [AP]

If they got 6 figures for Cam to play football, I’d like to know where it’s hiding. Church isn’t fixed, both Cecil and his wife drive cars with some age on them, and their house isn’t exactly a palace.

Maybe Mr. Newton decided to use the cash to diversify his portfolio.

No shit, unless it’s buried in their backyard this shouldn’t be that hard to solve…people who acquire ill-begotten money don’t do so to save it

they’re hiding that money, along with the money the brother made playing practice squad, to go with the money Cam is going to make in the NFL. WHen they have all the money, they’ll use that illicit money for illicit purposes. Not a second before.
November 17th, 2010 at 12:25 PM
Cecil and Cam’s shag pads are sweeeeeet though.

I want to know what happens if Auburn runs the table and say December 20th, it is confirmed he was paid to play. Would they let Auburn still play in that game? Will they make sure nothing is leaked until after the game?

November 17th, 2010 at 12:38 PM
Oh, we get that it’s a joke. It’s just so not-funny as to be ridiculous. The attempt at the ironically self-aware jab at the commentariat is half-hearted at best, and a complete misunderstanding of the general tone of those who comment. If I say the view from the high horse has been obstructed lately, I don’t think it would come as a shock to anyone.

Dear Sir,
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum of $180,000 into your accounts. The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental to the transfer.

Is a McRib really a rib or it just some pressed pork in the shape of a rib?

November 17th, 2010 at 12:55 PM
Im not even sure that it’s pork!
November 17th, 2010 at 12:56 PM
The “known about it since July” angle is dumb anyway. Could you hide $200k in less than three months, if you had been sitting on it for the previous six months? Probably not to the extent that nobody would find out that you received it in the first place.
November 17th, 2010 at 12:56 PM
I’d be surprised if it were meat.

November 17th, 2010 at 1:03 PM
Here is what you do…
You give the money to your friend to hang on to it, who just so happens to also be in debt for 2x as much to a drug dealer who is out to kill him. You go to pick it up 3 months later only to find out he no longer has it. Book a flight to Vegas and win it all back in one night before the drug dealer comes looking for him and the rest of the money he is owned. Sell the idea to Hollywood and you have the feel good comedy of the summer. Throw in a fiance and it all just writes itself. I hear Jim Carrey could use the work.

November 17th, 2010 at 1:12 PM
I am with spence on the pickle issue. I don’t like the texture but don’t mind the flavor. The reason I get no pickles at all is because then they make you a fresh sandwich, which is 5x better than the ones that have been sitting for a while that they made 30 minutes ago when the lunch rush started.

Do you think Auburn gave him a check for $180,000 and he deposited it in the ATM? If you think everyone involved is that stupid, then you are racist…
