Can they "take out" this broker? I'm sure big oil and gas and pharmaceutical companies take people out all of the time. Someone call Mark Dodge.
Wait, the Broker tried to sell the videos to ESPN, but ESPN didn't buy them. Why? You'd think that if they were legit they would buy them to break this story. You know, break it with actual evidence or anything more than what they have now.
A damning video of Johnny is so much more than what they 'broke' the story with earlier. If the video had any shred of evidence or credibility, why wouldn't they want that video?
What I don't get is... why are these brokers throwing Johnny under the bus now? Did he cut them off? Take money and refuse to provide services? Bang their moms? Secondly, I don't get how someone can be so stupid to risk something like this when they're already filthy rich, and lastly... if you know it's illegal, why the hell are you letting them TAPE YOU DOING IT?
Maybe the asking price was too high. How much you wanna bet these videos eventually get released? Might be very soon.
Oh no I totally think these videos will be released. I just don't think anything of value is on them if ESPN won't buy them when offered.
ESPN not buying them just started a bidding war, IMO these will be released for sure. I would imagine TMZ would be down to pay for them
There's nothing to see in the video, that's obvious. He didn't take money and declined to take money when it was offered.
Except the part where he implies he has taken cash for signing personalized autographs before. That's gonna be what roasts him.
He's also going to get gigged hard for this: "Would you take *extra* money for special inscriptions?" Unless his response to that in the video was "Money? What do you mean money? I'm not getting paid for this." He's boned.
What do you personally believe happened? Why do you think he was there? I'm not asking about what anyone can prove. Just curious as to what you think transpired.
I'm sure he's guilty. I'm talking about proving it and I'm also talking about the importance of this new video. The video doesn't seem to get the story anywhere, it's almost as if ESPN is spinning it's wheels at this point for hits. "Damn you Yahoo Sports, you've beat us to the punch so many times, we're gonna manufacture something I tell you what". Nobody knows how this scenario is going to unfold, and I'm worried, but I'm taking the video commentary at face value and it doesn't seem all that groundbreaking. If an "implied" exchange of money is all we're working with here then so be it, TAMU will deny it, he'll play, and maybe 8 years from now there might be some blowback. Until then I'm still chilling with my popcorn.
