Arkansas media being more fair to CNS than Alabama media!

If you happen to broaden your horizons, however, you might have found and interesting story from the Arkansas media by one Andy Hodges, who broke from the ‘Saban is the Devil’ narrative, and actually did what they used to call ‘investigative journalism.’

Hodges reports that Philon sustained a knee injury in November, two months after he had committed to Alabama. The injury, it was reported, would require surgery to assess the extent of the damage. As of signing day, Philon had not had the surgery, and so nothing was known about how long he would be out of commission or what his prognosis was going  forward.

The interesting quote from the article comes from a source close to the Mobile sports scene: “It’s not a big secret that the knee is worse than just a minor deal. He also hasn’t had any success with any rehab.”

As usual, there are two sides to every story. Between this and Tox's "rest of the story", we now have a much better idea of what really happened.

CNS and Bama has been done a big injustice over this deal by many of the National and State media and the sad part of this is none of them will go back and tell the correct story of Philon even after they all know the truth.
