Cam Newton wins Heisman

I think, over the past 30 years, a majority of the Heisman winners are probably guilty of infractions that would have cost them their eligibility, and subsequently the trophy. I think it's just a product of our times that it's just a lot harder to get away with it.

And, for this reason, I just don't give much of a shit about the Heisman.

Agreed. Does it really matter? With the exception of possibly being a higher draft pick, meaning more $ in the long-run for that player, how many Heisman winners have been duds in the pros?

I'm actually happy he won the Heisman. If "the Heisman curse" holds up, this BCS championship is going to be quack-tacular!

Agreed, especially since there are 50 other player postseason awards. If the Heisman was the only awrd given to an individual player then I think it would be a bigger deal.
