Reggie's Ride
I said it before, and I'll say it again. The reason why I don't like these allegations is because Yahoo! Sports alleges that Reggie was given money to buy a car.
Did he get a big black brand-new SUV tricked out Lebron James style like Adrian Peterson, Maurice Clarrett, and DeShaun Foster were driving? No.
Reggie got a 10-year-old, used up, Chevy sedan.
Compared to other stories of players getting cars, this sounds like small potatoes. So does that make the allegation that much more believable because the gift was modest? Or does it look like someone (Lloyd Lake, Yahoo!, or both) are really out to get Reggie?
I know one thing for sure: I wouldn't risk my Heisman Trophy for some crappy used car.

The 96 Impala is a rare limited edition supersport. The blue book value is over 13k

Where do you get that price from?
I just went to Edmunds.com, and the Trade-In Value for a 96 Impala, average condition and 150,000 miles (15,000 miles a year for 10 years) is ... $3,242.
In comparison, the MSRP for a new 2007 Cadillac Escalade starts at $54,500.
Nobody knows the exact condition and mileage on Reggie's car, but it's a sobering thought that the crappy Ford Escort I drove during my senior year at SC may have been worth more than Reggie's alleged illegal benefit.
