IT's all grabage, the whole thing.

Most accurate succinct description I have every read of this whole story.

 

[Cane1996]

My memory is a little hazy but even the Wright benching was if not known then highly likely since he injured his ankle during the first quarter at FSU two weeks earlier.

Oh well, how the mighty have slipped and fallen - Sports Illustrated. Somebody told Shapiro that Miami's defense or defensive line was slow so he bet GTech. Bull****. If Shapiro followed Miami that closely and was as knowledgeable as he believed himself to be, he didn't need anyone to pass along those pearls of wisdom. Please, his rants and gambling tip stuff is such a reach. And yes, another sucker falls for Nevin - a host of well-educated, wealthy investors, Yahoo, the NCAA and its wondorous gumshoes (led by an ex-Indy cop), his attorney, Miami coaches/players, an old girlfriend and now Mr. SI, the same writer (notice not investigative reporter) who penned the cover piece two decades ago suggesting Miami should shut down its football program. This is just lazy, stale, hackney garbage from the latest folks to rings Nevin's prison bell.

That seemed odd to me as well. Two of the three examples given (other than Wright set to be benched) were not "inside information", they were nothing more than an analysis of how a particular position unit has been playing. That's no different from watching Sports Center before a game, or the pre-game show. That Sports Illustrated would present that as evidence of UM somehow being complicit in Shapiro's gambling proves that they have zero journalistic integrity, and frankly, are pretty stupid.

It wasn't a big secret. Virtually every Miami fan knew Wright wasn't going to be able to go against NC State. Many people were excited to see what Kirby Freeman could do.

I remember...somebody even made a .gif of Wright lying in a hospital bed with Shannon looking on and Kirby in the corner of the picture shuddering with nervousness.

Canesplace created this one before the NCSTate game proving that Shapiro is a lying scuzbag.

It doesn't show up on my browser but I think you know what I'm talking about.

LOL that random posters on a posting board can pump this article full of holes faster than Michael J Fox at a shooting gallery.
