I didn’t have any contact with the kid.’”ĭunaway later tweeted he was thanking Barkley for getting his tickets, not that Barkley got Newton tickets.īrooks checked with others at the game and learned the players from both teams were spread throughout the arena, both in the upper and lower bowls. This bothers me that they’re trying to throw me in there.
“He (Barkley) said, ‘I’m going to mention more on this on TNT tonight. But if he wanted tickets I would’ve gotten them for him.’ “Barkley said, ‘Tell those people who are writing this to kiss my ass. “I called (Charles) Barkley and asked him, ‘did you get Cam Newton the tickets for the Suns game?’

On his radio and FSN/Direct TV show, Patrick said: That Tweet along with courtside interviews that Newton did during the telecast was part of a chain reaction on Twitter and message boards across the country of people wondering if Newton had indeed gotten special treatment at the game that might amount to an NCAA violation…īarkley told Dan Patrick this morning that he did not provide tickets to Newton. We’ll let the always entertaining Sports by Brooks tell the story from there:ĭuring the game, prominent Birmingham TV personality and WJOX-FM radio host Jim Dunaway Tweeted, “Hanging at Lakers-Suns… Pugh and most Auburn players in upper deck…Cam in lower bowl. Remember that Barkley is an Auburn alum and former Suns player. Heisman trophy winning quarterback Cam Newton was there in the lower bowl and was interviewed both on the ESPN national broadcast and the KCAL 9 broadcast back to Los Angeles. Last night players from both the Auburn Tigers and Oregon Ducks were in attendance at the Lakers victory over the Suns in Phoenix (both teams are in town for next Monday’s BCS title game).

He’s right with Frank Thomas right now.īut listen, dude, you can’t just get on your blog, I don’t read that crap, but I had to respond to it publicly today, you can’t just come out and say what you want to. The guy won a Heisman Trophy and he’s one of the greatest jocks I’ve ever seen at Auburn. “First of all, if had called me, I would have got him tickets to the game. But, I did not give Cam Newton tickets to the game.” Because if the parents are idiots, you follow the kids, the kids are going to be idiots too. This guy is an idiot, I hope he doesn’t have any kids.
That I gave Cam Newtown tickets to the Lakers game…. “There was a report out today by some idiot, and I don’t know his name because I don’t blog at all, he accused me of breaking NCAA rules. We have transcribed it for you to make your life complete:
