Bowden was and remains a sleazeball. He always knew how to work the media, so he rarely suffered bad press, and they certainly won't start now. It would seem as if they are beating up on a helpless old man. If they continued to kiss his butt after the "Tainted Title" scandal, we shouldn't expect anything truthful and objective about him now. Bowden has been spewing his BS for so long, at this point, he may actually believe it himself. Regardless of what he thinks or wants to think, he was a guy who was obsessed with his image and PR. Remember how upset he was when SOS called him out on his team's dirty play? He didn't address the charges directly, just moaned that he wished Steve hadn't said what he said. Yes, he built a program back in the '70s and '80s by traveling to Lincoln and other places and taking on the big football powers. One can respect that. However, he also ran one of the dirtiest programs in the country. I believe one should judge a person by his actions more than his words. I think the balance of Bowden's actions over the course of his adult life were dishonest. Just because few ever called him on it doesn't make it any less true. Go Gators!!!! Ken B.

I threw up on my beautiful high def TV today during ESPN's College Football Live show. Bowden was on there saying that he wants to be remembered for all the great things he did for his players and for making them into such outstanding members of the community (or something like that). My opinion of Bobby Bowden is that he is the dirty-est, lying-est, back stabbing-est, cheating-est, but best coverer upper, in the business. All these other people are going on and on about what a great person Bowden is - and I think he is the biggest snake in the grass in the business. So am I biased or is Bowden a saint? -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
