Any chance that BDA could blackmail him as the New Era blackmailed Reggie Bush?
Now he’ll play the innocent victim just like Reggie; and Floyd will get thrown under the bus.
it was his friend's Porsche. they use them as taxicabs at SC.
DFWTrojan is correct, it has been reported elsewhere that the Porsche belongs to someone else. Leave it to Wolfie to mix up the facts just to take another cheap shot at his alma mater.
Loco:
Insinuations or accusations?
El Capitán,
Neither, it's a prediction. Wolfie is the General in charge of insinuations and accusations, and you are his compadre.
Sounds like trouble.
Loco:
There you go again insinuating that I am a rear-end kisser. You should know by now that I don't play that game, period. I have complimented SW twice in over two years that I have been blogging on this site.
I don't know SW and he doesn't know me meaning I am NOT his "compadre" NOR yours. That said your trash talking norm prevails...
Thank you
El Capitán,
I think you have made your point very clear; you rear-end kissing is reserved exclusively for Sanchitos. Well, at least he’s better looking than SW.
According to AP, the agent dropped Mayo?! If so, that would seem to remove any motive of the agent to "get back" at Mayo. Here is what the article said:
Mayo’s agent drops him, citing distraction of investigation
LOS ANGELES (AP)—Former USC basketball star O.J. Mayo has been dropped by his agent ahead of the June 26 NBA draft because of the “overwhelming intensity” of allegations that Mayo illegally received cash and gifts.
Mayo had announced that Calvin Andrews of Bill Duffy Associates would represent him. But the Walnut Creek, Calif.-based sports management group issued a statement Thursday saying their association was over.
“Due to the overwhelming intensity of recent allegations regarding the recruitment of O.J. Mayo, we feel that our representation of him is a distraction for he and his family at this time,” the statement said.
“This should be the best time in his life and anything that takes away from that enjoyment and the experience of this process is not fair to him.”
BDA Sports said it will ask the NBA Players Association to waive the standard 15-day cooling off period so Mayo could sign with a new agent immediately.
Among the NBA players represented by BDA are Carmelo Anthony, Greg Oden, Steve Nash and Yao Ming.
Louis Johnson, a former associate of Mayo’s, told ESPN that events promoter Rodney Guillory received money from BDA Sports and funneled cash and gifts to Mayo, who played one season at USC before declaring for the draft.
Mayo has denied the allegations, which are being investigated by the NCAA, Pacific-10 Conference and USC.
Hey uscmike,
Thanks for keeping a favorable perspective on this; I see nothing but bad times ahead for Floyd and Co. If it pans out as you say, I’ll be the one buying you and LJ those enchiladas and margaritas.
