A few people went at him late last night. Here's his response:
I would point the fingers at the attorney/agent in California as opposed to ruiz or on3 though
Not the writers fault
He’s being told that Rashada is getting a record NIL deal by a guy running his mouth trying to build his profile and get clients
That’s news regardless of who the writer works for
Now ruiz is coming out and saying it’s totally made up
But again if it is made up it would not be by the writer
There is at least partial truth
I heard the Gator collective was willing to go to 1.5 per year
Ruiz told me multiple times before and after todays announcement that he was not engaged in talks with the Rashada camp
That’s all I know and have no idea what the truth is beyond that
Gary, as per usual, is FULL OF ****E.
on3 wants everyone to believe that Caspino FIRST went out and bragged bout $9.5 million to $11 million, ONLY TO IMMEDIATELY CONTRADICT HIMSELF BY SAYING THAT THE AMOUNTS WERE NOT THAT HIGH.
"Not the writers' fault"... Look, when Nico's deal was reported, the reporter actually SAW the NIL document. But on3 is running some big article based on, what, an oral claim with no written documentation?
Once again, fvck Fur Man.
Oh, yeah, "if it is made up, it would not be by the writer". YEAH, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO FACT-CHECK AND GET INDEPENDENT CONFIRMATION.
Nevin Shapiro/Yahoo Sports 2.0 and Fur Man is right in the middle of it all over again.
"There is at least partial truth". WHAT? So if someone says "100 million", and the number is really "4 million", then it's 4% true? GTFOH with that bullcrap, Gary. "Partial truth", my a$$.
