Stanley McClover & HBO

[Husker_OS]

Apparently, HBO is doing a special on "pay for play" at Auburn. Stanley McClover was interviewed and he wanted other former AU players to on it. This prompted an article that's up on AU's Rivals site that is essentially calling McClover a liar.

If you have a Rivals account, go read that article.


This excerpt is some ****...

Rosegreen spoke to McClover just before McClover interviewed with HBO. McClover wanted Rosegreen to be included in the segment.

"Stanley left me a message saying, '(HBO) is doing a story about my life and I want you to be a part of it.' And I was fine with that," said Rosegreen. "Then I found out the story wasn't going to be about Stanley's life, it was going to be about him trying to throw Auburn under the bus. I immediately called Stanley and told him I'm not doing anything and he better not use my name. I told him that I am not going to be a part of that because it's bull [crap].

"He said he was going to talk about getting paid to go to Auburn and I know that is a lie. I don't believe a word he says. He's not a man you can trust. I know him and I don't want to be a part of anything he has going on."

This has been out for a while. HBO was doing a segment on College Football as a whole, and recruiting, they interviewed McClover for it.

Stanley McClover didn't make it in the NFL, has no money, and is making claims that his HS teammates, college ceammates, HS coaches, and college coaches all refute.

HBO contacted other Auburn players trying to get them to say they were paid, McClover found a way to get some money.

Old news is kind of a weird term in this era. It Isn't old news in the real definition of the word, but in this world of instant news and twitter and the like, it is. I think i first heard stuff about Stanley about 2 weeks ago.

Whatever you want to believe about Auburn and cheating and whatever, that's fine, but this story REEKS of a guy ratting out former colleagues to make money (think Jose Canseco) and those are rarely true. It's really sad to see a former Auburn player do this, but it was bound to happen with the sheer volume of fringe NFL players that were big players at Auburn, and a company like HBO looking for an easy story that could make them quite a bit of money.

Isn't there a player from Bama who is suppose to be making the same claim on that same HBO special?

I don't think Jose Canseco is the example you want to use...pretty much everything he said was true.

"I haven't even talked to HBO," said Keys, who now resides in Chattanooga, Tenn. "My mom told me about it when she first heard about it, but there isn't anything to it. I've had some people ask me about it, but I don't know what they're talking about."

Didn't he tell that to some Tide fans website? Not that I'm saying he didn't say it, but I put as much stock in that as I do with some Auburn player telling some Tiger fan site that McClover is lying about getting paid.

I mean why would that dudes name even come up in connection with this HBO thing if he didn't either talk to HBO or planned on talking to them and backed out.

Really? Oh, haven't really followed up his story from 2-3 years ago.

Re: Stanley McClover & HBO

While Auburn or any other Major college or their boosters handing out money to players is not out of the question, McClover's story doesn't seem credible.

That had me scratching my head too.
