发帖数: 764 | 1 Sports Radio Interviews —Jim Tressel's Former QB Says The Allegations Are
"A Big Lie" / ohio state buckeyesEvery morning, the fine folks at Sports
Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the
best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports
landscape. Today: Youngstown State's finest, Ray Isaac, tries out some media
criticism.
Ray Isaac joined 790 The Zone in Atlanta with Mayhem in the AM to discuss
his displeasure with the SI article, his relationship with Tressel at
Youngstown State, why his case has always been linked to Tressel's departure
from there, why he's most upset with Sports Illustrated and why he believes
Tressel would lie to the NCAA.
On his displeasure with Sports Illustrated's article released Monday night:
"The article is a big lie. I think that I've only done two interviews since
1991, since all the allegations came out. … I did both of those interviews
in 2003 and I was displeased with how those articles came out. So I have not
done another interview since then. I'm very displeased with the article.
The article is chewed up. If you look at the paragraph that goes into what I
was allegedly to have said, it is poorly written. It doesn't give any facts
or clarity."
What would he like to get on the record now, then, about his relationship
with Jim Tressel?:
"Number one, I'm totally responsible for what I did at Youngstown State
University. Every year, from the time I was on campus, from '88 to '91,
Tressel had compliance seminars - not to deal with bookies, not to deal with
drugs, not to deal with not buying or selling anything. I knew exactly what
I was getting into when I met [booster] Mickey Monus. It is implied that on
the first meeting that I had with Mickey Monus that I received $150. That
is the biggest lie ever told. … Jim Tressel never ever knew anything about
our dealings. I kept it secret. To say Coach Tressel knew about this car, or
knew about this money, listen, the only way that anyone knew about the
money I received from Youngstown State University was Mickey Monus got
indicted on $1.1 million worth of embezzlement and fraud. In documents and
public record, they found checks that were written to me. … That's the only
way that this situation came to light. … Other than that, no one in the
history of the world would have known the Mickey Monus paid me a dime."
Then why has Tressel's departure from Youngstown always been associated with
the infractions surrounding the Ray case?:
"I think that Jim Tressel was the coach at Youngstown State University and
Mickey Monus got in trouble and then all of the sudden one of his star
athletes comes out and his name is associated with that. When you look at
these Youngstown State investigations, the first paragraph reads that Ray
Isaac states that Jim Tressel or no other official at Youngstown State knew
about the cars 0r the money."
What is he most upset with about the SI article?:
"Jim Tressel is as good a man as you'll ever meet. It's almost to the point
where it's hokey; you would think he is phony. Jim Tressel is like the
person you want to be when you grow up. … He's always treated me like a son
, always got on my case. I'm just appalled by the lack of facts in the
article concerning me and him. … It almost looked like he read 50 articles
of the Jim Tressel/Ray Isaac situation and mixed them all together and then
wrote a paragraph because he could not get any words out of my mouth."
Why does he think Jim Tressel would lie to the NCAA about emails?:
"The story has not been told. I think whatever he did, I don't know what he
did, I just know he's going to protect and he has tried to protect his
players and it just snowballed. It's like something that you just say, ‘Oh
my God, are you serious?' He's a manager, man. He's a manager or his
coaching staff, he's a manager of people, and it can get out of hand. Before
you know it, you don't have grips with what's going on. … I'm the biggest
advocate of Jim Tressel."

have live broadcast, media lies (by editing). Media's selective editing is
even worse than lying. |
