Yes We CAM!
Congrats are in order for Mr. Cameron “Cam” Jerrell Newton.
This College Park, GA native won the NCAA Heisman Trophy with 729 first-place votes.
Now before he won, of course you know some drama had to pop off!
“Controversy began with allegations that his father, Cecil Newton, had sought substantial sums of money in return for his son playing for a major-college team, in violation of National Collegiate Athletic Association rules.
In early November, officials with Mississippi State University charged that Cecil Newton said that it would take "more than just a scholarship" to secure his son's services. This demand was apparently communicated by Kenny Rogers, a recruiter who formerly played for the Bulldogs, to John Bond, his former teammate at MSU. Rogers later said in a Dallas radio interview that Cecil Newton said it would take "anywhere between $100,000 and $180,000" to get his son to transfer to MSU.
Auburn maintained throughout the investigation that they were not involved in any pay-for-play scheme, and that Cam Newton was fully eligible to play.
On December 1, the NCAA announced that Cam Newton had been declared ineligible by Auburn, which then immediately filed to have him reinstated. The NCAA then almost immediately reinstated Newton, declaring him eligible for the 2010 SEC Championship Game three days later, while also confirming that Newton's father and Rogers did in fact solicit Mississippi State for money in exchange for Cam Newton's athletic service. The NCAA found that Cam Newton had no knowledge of his father's scheme, and that he did not receive any improper benefits. Auburn restricted the elder Newton's access to their athletic program as a result.”
Now that the drama is over it’s now time for Mr. Newton to show the world what he’s made of.
At twenty-one years young, 6 ft 6 in of 250 lb sexiness, for right now he can just stand there as I watch in amazement!
Side Bar ~ That’s sum’ kind of sexy . . . YES WE CAM!

he was on GMA this morning with a bulge of happiness and he will be on Letterman tonight in a tuxedo. He can dress, which is a good thing for a 'jock' to do. I hope he is easy on the 'tats' too...
