If We Can Repair Crompton’s Shoulder So He Can Hold a Clipboard Again, Imagine What We Can Do For You.

crompton ad

Ruh-roh!

So now it seems Jon Crompton has gone from being the posterboy for being a Ruff, Tuff Mountain Boy That’s Getting Jobbed By The System to a poster child for medical technology.

On page 19 of the newest edition of Smoky Mountain News, a free shopper-type of newspaper, this ad ran for Southeastern Sports Medicine, that was brought to our attention by the good folks at outermonvolia.com.

Looking at the ad…well, what can you say? For starters, from an advertising perspective, it’s poorly designed and art directed. The copywriting is so-so. Self-indulgent, but so-so. I’d guess the doctor might potentially tear a miniscus muscle patting himself on the back. Funny, but you don’t see Dr. James Andrews and the fine staff at St. Vincent’s pimping their clientele like this.

But more importantly, why in the hell would Kamp Kromptonite go for something that’s sooooo questionable per the NCAA rulebook? Why would they open themselves-and the UTAD up to such scrutiny. And the photo itself…is it legit? Did they “borrow it?” What the fuck are these people thinking?!?

What’s really lost in this is the role of Erik Ainge. If it weren’t for his injury last year, there’s no way in hell they would’ve been able to use an action shot of Ol’ Ruff-N-Tuff. Unless, of course, they happen to find a shot of him handing the ball off in garbage time v. Cal.

Jon, you’re a good kid. But for the love of God, get your posse to back off the throttle.

  1. Did Lee Majors and Lindsay Wagner get work done there?

  2. If Ruff-n-Tuff were in that South Park short, he woulda whupped both Jesus AND Santa… and we’d be giving each other mountain boy haircuts every Dec 25th.

  3. He has good manners…please remember that

  4. Kamp Kromptonite usage was gold

  5. Nothing will happen; fulmer’s the best in the business at getting his kids to be eligible; well, if you take pete carrol’s dirtyness out of the mix that is.

    Cromton’s y’alls best QB. That kid scared the bejesus out of me last year when he was slicing up the LSU defense. Not an easy task to do, just ask brady quinn

  6. Please name a real defense Courageous Brady Quinn sliced up last season…

  7. Crompton will have to answer to the NNCAA for this. Remember Steve Alford was suspended for posing for a calendar for charity.

    This Cromptonite ad was for profit generation.

    I look for the NCAA to step in and take action.

  8. Dr. James Andrews works at St. Vincent’s Hospital in Birmingham … NOT at UAB

  9. That photo was snapped moments before King Kromp t-boned the LSU safety. ‘Twas the moment the legend was recognized by the masses. Don’t fight the manifest destiny. He will rise, and he will learn to make the necessary throws required to win an SEC championship. Other quarterbacks in his way are too frail. They are just not ruff’n'tuff enough (although, that guy with the killer handshake might be able to hold the King’s clipboard).

  10. Fuck all of you haters. Jon is better than Heath Shuler. Erik Ainge’s knee? Think Nancy Kerrigan…..

  11. Hey remember me! I’m ruff n tuff!

  12. Momma, you are one bad dude…I mean bitch. Word on the street is that you fisted ole Ronnie boy and from word on the street, he enjoyed it.
