The evolving Steve Robertson

[PassInterference]

For a couple years now, Ole Miss folk told us Steve was an idiot. They said he's constantly wrong. They said he sells scout members lies to keep the fan base riled up.

But now, Steve is a devious conspirator that put together a master plan to smear Freeze. https://twitter.com/yancyporter/status/887011452489535488

Maybe next year, he'll be the Easter bunny.

[smootness]

Funny that they claimed that about Steve when their own guy has literally admitted doing that exact thing.

Also, Yancy replies to himself on twitter. Lulz

[MadDawg]

If Steve was so wrong about everything, they wouldn't even pay attention to him. Nothing speaks to his high rate of being exactly correct moreso than their obsession with him.

[bobtail bob]

Speaking of this yancy. Is that even a real person or is this some fake Twitter that rev freeze dreamed up with his public phone? I wonder because he's had the same fairy looking picture up on it forever. Seriously how could anyone show his face in public with the crap he writes ? Unless it's all fun and games behind the scenes.

[Dawgcentral]

You'd think Yancy would give up his jousting with Steve. He gets knocked on his ass with every truth that gets revealed.

I guess when you have no honor, and no credibility, you really have nothing to lose.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yancy has zero connections, zero influence, and zero integrity. Steve has consistently told the truth or at least in the realm of truth since Steve went on the record about overcoming his past. Yancy is pretty much worthless, except for reporting on recruiting, which he also admit to lying about when it suits UM.

[bobcat91]

I'm tired of hearing about Steve. The fact that he now has an in for the UM cheating situation doesn't make up for the fact he has been incredibly lazy covering MSU for the last 10 years and his need to break the news first, hurts kids wanting their 15 minutes of fame. After this is over and UM football is destroyed for a decade, he will go back to being the lazy bum he always was. I really don't get the hero worship for this guy.

Black Bear alert?

[Noxdog]

Black Bear alert?

Agree with Bobcat, but he is the furthest thing from a bear. Anyone on the boards for years know that.

[Lord McBuckethead]

Yeah, Steve has burned a couple kids in the past, and there was that Divinner thing. But he has been the leading force in the discussion on UM because frankly he is/was tired of their shit. I am sure UMs ways have led him astray in reporting recruiting a few times.

His reporting could use some help with timing. Maybe he should focus on the kids story and help said kid get their 15 minutes of Fame amplified in the MSU family. The need to break a commitment or commitment news is tough for these guys I am sure. With their websites being constantly dropped for a free board like elitedawgs who gets the same information maybe 10 minutes after Scout does.

Steve has become a legend for how he has handled everything regarding Old Misses NCAA troubles the last year. Idc if he drooled on his shirt all day for 30 years straight before.

You know what they say about opinions and ***holes... we all got 'em, but yours stink.

[Reason2succeed]

I'm glad that SR is profiting off of the t-shirts and book sales on this. He deserves it for the work he has done. Without him OM may have been able to spin their way out of the negative publicity. Could you imagine what we would be feeling if SR wasn't covering this and encouraging other national media to cover this? I'd be irate!!!

Lots of thanks have to be given to Steve for striving for the truth, but the MVP of this whole ordeal is one Lindsey Miller. The NCAA investigation was just about wrapped up with little or no dirt on Hugh's highly rated class... then good ole Tunsil had to whoop his step dad! The rest will be gloriously written in history as OM becomes irrelevant.

We're actually ahead of scout on most team/university news. They're ahead of us on breaking recruiting commitments and news, which like you say takes a few minutes to hit the board here.

My understanding is that Miller isn't the one who exposed Tunsil. My understanding, from people who know, is that Tunsil spurned an NFL agent/financial management guy for Freeze's agent or someone close to Freeze at the 11th hour and the guy he had agreed to go with set out to burn him and Freeze to the ground. Obviously this isn't first hand, but based on the lack of legal action following a multi-million loss, I feel like it's very possibly the truth. They couldn't sue the guy because, again if true, it would've shown that Tunsil was meeting with agents early and that freeze and his agency were working together to influence Tunsil.

Chris Jones is the MVP of this ordeal. And y'all can take that to the bank.

Story I heard is the agent lost a couple million by Tunsil dropping him last second so he paid him back in the ugliest of ways draft night. That agent had access to Tunsil's phone/bongvideo/instagram. It cost Tunsil $8-10 million on his rookie contract alone and a bunch of endorsement deals as well. Agent probably had more dirt than what he showed too so Tunsil probably had to pay him a couple 7 figures as well. Bad decision dropping that agent. He apparently is a guy you definitely don't want to **** with.

We heard the same story.

[Political Hack]

Bobcat's right a lot more than he's wrong. Just saying...

[MSUDawg99]

I heard the same story about the spurned agent & Tunsil as well. A story was written & floating around on Twitter on draft night. Still waiting on the FBI to get involved per Chuck Rounsaville, though******

[Mimi's Babies]

Steve and the NCAA were already onto the 2nd NOA before April 2016 draft night.... Wait for the book and you will understand...

I understand your dislike of SR being a hero to some, but who else would you recommend to help exposing UNM? The state newspaper wouldn't even do any homework on the matter???

[Dawgcentral]

If you'll recall, SR went to the CL with what he had before he ever went public with the info he was getting. So, if he's a hero to some, he never set out to be.
I wouldn't call him a hero. But he does seem to have some admirable traits. He was willing to take on the machine that's been operating in some capacity since before many of us were born. He put himself and his family at risk. That might sound extreme, but there have been threats.
i think he just got fed up. Saw enough bullshit with no one doing anything about it.

Make no mistake Rosebowl is all about Rosebowl first and foremost. I think part of the reason he is going so hard after Ole Miss is because he was getting a lot of criticism for the DeVinner case and things like the Brandon Bryant situation like you are referring to. Genespage was losing a lot of money and membership to 247 sports because of it. The interesting thing is if I remember correctly part of the 247/Genespage rift was over the DeVinner situation. But now I guess 247 gets the last laugh since they are going to be merging with scout and 247 is taking over the scout website.

So, I guess Paul, Robbie, Gene, Rosebowl and Murray will all be working together or at least for the same company.

But at the same time Rosebowl has been burned by Yancy before- like the Army AA debacle and I do think that was done intentionally to hurt Rosebowl and embarrass him. So, I do think Rosebowl has an ax to grind with them too.

As for me, if Rosebowl wants to hurt Ole Miss and write a book about it, that's fine with me.

This investigation has gone on so long that all the stories are intertwining, but both are technically correct. Prior to 2015 season and with NCAA investigation wrapping up, news broke that Tunsil had beaten up his stepdad and that the stepdad was talking about agents and gifts (probably the soon-to-be-spurned agent). Fast forward, past a 7 game Tunsil suspension, to the NFL draft and that's when the former agent, who was recently dumped, released the photos and texts.

Edit to add: So the stepdad lead to the loaner cars and such while the NFL draft fiasco led to the amended NOA.

Rosie is a crazy bass turd with a quality source. And I wouldn't be surprised if he had someone or a group of people backing him with some of the stuff he's doing.

No doubt. Ole Miss is bad about using people and then burning bridges with them. We've seen it multiple times throughout this investigation with Saunders, Farrar, and now Nutt...among many others. Eventually it will happen to Freeze too.

GP didn't lose subscribers. They've grown every year. PJ won't have anything to do with them. Paul works for 24/7, Gene owns GP.

So, will they be two separate MSU web sites on the CBS sports platform because Genespage is going over to CBS and Paul is making it sound like a merger to me at least?

It isn't. I assure you.

Incorrect. Eventually, it will be one deal together. We will be one of the last to completely merge because of the size of the 2 sites, as will Georgia. We all should get a good idea of how it operates once the OM site completes their merger, which should be done within a month.

Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama and all of the big sites are merging into one site. Already been told by our top boss what is coming. That is where we will be once 247Sports gets to our site. These talks have already happened and it is in place.

That whole group used every trick in the book to burn Steve and Gene. Heck, they burned one or both of them pretty much every year, apparently for fun. It was predictable and painful to watch. So, yeah, he has a nasty ax to grind there.

The funniest thing about all of this is that now that it actually matters, he hasn't been biting on any of their planted leads and other attempts to hurt his credibility on the NCAA investigation. As much as they hate him, the OM fanboys know Steve's been a far more reliable source than their own freaking writers. David's been a deer stuck in headlights. Chuck sticks his foot in his mouth and doesn't appear smart enough to realize it, and Yancy's resorted to spewing delusional rants like some crackhead on COPs. Whatever you think of Steve, it's been pretty entertaining to watch as it's unfolded.

as far as i am concerned, ROSEBOWL doesn't have to report another damn story for the rest of his career! he has gone where NO OTHER has gone in the history of MSU. too many chicken-shits! meanwhile, there are generations who have waited for these lying cheating bastards to get caught in a web of their own weaving. it's here now an one guy withstood the heat and reported the facts....i've got 2 "ROSEBOWL Was Right!" t-shirts and have given a coupla others away as gifts. what this arrogant group of bear boosters and coaches did will be a generational-fail for the Bears....meaning that very soon now, old times there WILL BE forgotten!

really looking forward to the night they burn ol' dixie down.....😆😆😆

i agree....i think bobcat is worthy of a bear-alert too

That's what is so disturbing about the Ole Miss writers- they are so malicious. When you're getting off on flipping a kid on Christmas you should probably take a long look in the mirror.

There's 1 of 3 options for Genespage.

2. Genespage will go independent. That's hard to do because you need that national site database
