I love this.

"The only publication of any alleged statement by Leo Lewis has been made by Rebel Rags itself," Wheeler said.

Dubmasses.

Down goes another Black Bear prediction... LL is not going back on his statement and RR looks like a huge jackass.

I don't even think they predicted it. They just blatantly said he was backtracking with 100% certainty. OM sources are batting .000 on all of this.

He's always looked that way.

And the coverage of this lawsuit by the CL is now 3x that of the NCAA investigation.

That's close to what they're winning percentage in the sec will be in 2-3 years

Yeah, Sammon did some work on this.

I'm a little confused by this comment. If LL made any statement to the NCAA investigators, the statement itself was the "publication". So is Wheeler stating that Rebel rags is incorrect in their allegation that LL said anything regarding Rebel Rags?

I think he is using this argument for change of venue. The statement, made in Starkville, caused the alleged defamation, not the taking of merchandise, given in Oxford. I think the "publication" is the statement itself.

The "publication" is definitely the statement itself. If LL made a statement regarding Rebel rags providing merchandise, the first publication was him making the statement. So saying the only publication of the alleged statement is I think an argument that the alleged statement was never made by LL to begin with.

But he also said he wasn't aware of what LL did or didn't say in any alleged meetings with the NCAA, which would seem inconsistent with an argument that Rebel Rags was wrong to think LL made the statement they claim.

 

[stateu1]

He's saying the RR guy is the only person so far to say Leo was SA 39 publicly.

 

[Junction John]

Right. Up until RebRag filed his lawsuit, it was all speculation who Booster 14

(or whatever number he was) and Student Athlete 39 were. This einstein technically outed himself (and Leo) before it was necessary.

And as has been discussed several times, I think Leo could take this to the next level and sue the **** out of this clown for making his name public and dragging a student athlete through the mud.
