Mario Point shaving?!?!
Anyone else heard this rumor? I have heard it from a friend and have read about it on the internet. I have also heard the FBI is involved in the investigation. I really hope its not true but a couple things make me believe it might be. One being his total change in performance from last year to this year. And his turf toe that has been a problem for a few weeks now (many players fight turf toe but still play some).

Figured this would come up eventually
- I know for a fact that Mario was absolutely livid with the fans after the Syracuse game, like irately pissed off. If this rumor has any legs then not only is he a point shaver, he's also far and away the best actor on the team.
- Why in the world would someone who wanted to fix games go after a wide receiver? Mario has the opportunity to get his hands on the ball maybe ten times a game. A receiver has a lower chance at being able to throw a game than a quarterback, running back, offensive lineman, cornerback, kicker or safety.
- He's never had great hands. Watch any game from the past two seasons.
- People (read: Kentucky message boards) are pointing to the personal fouls as evidence. His first personal foul came when he shoved a player who blatantly hit Harry Douglas late. His second came when he lightly dropped the ball on a player who was on the ground. And the third came on a ridiculous facemask call when he was stiff arming a defender. If that was a penalty, then it was against Miami last year as well.
Again, I can't completely deny these rumors or give a 100% valid reason why he's not playing, but I believe he's shaved just as many points as Rajon Rondo did two seasons ago.
Also, did you guys hear that Alvin Simms impregnated Dejuan Wheat's girlfriend? Apparently that's why we lost to Tulane.
