Well this is the final installment of the Grant Gone Wiley interview we conducted a couple weeks back. Grant dropped so much knowledge you young cats could write your thesis on this dude, no seriously look into it. So if you  enjoyed the Grant piece and have any questions for him fire them into the Billy Hoyle inbox at billyhoyle@couchfiresports.com … Wiley knows BOOM !

Couch Fire Sports: Shadiest thing that you witnessed on the team
Grant Wiley: Haha! To me the shadiest thing would have been teammates stealing shit from each other. Say you are a giraffe. And you find checks that belong to frogs in a small pond. Would you, the giraffe, take those checks to a local bank with frogs’ id’s to get the cash? That is not the coolest thing in the world you could do to some frogs. Ya feel me? Frogs and giraffes, whatever.

CFS: Did you ever take any kid of PEDs
GW: I only ever took Creatine. I was never into PED’s. It never made sense to me. Football is a sport. PED’s weren’t worth it to me. I’ve got too much soul to cheat. Maybe a weed brownie before a workout. Haha! Just kidding.

CFS: Did you ever fail a drug test
GW: Is it really failing if you believe that it is healing to smoke marijuana?

CFS: Did Rich Rod know players got high?
GW: You would have to ask Rich. I have no idea. I guess he would have known of the guys who failed drug tests. I wish someone would have offered him some or somehow snuck it into his sauna during his first year at WVU. We should have had pow-wows with the fans once a week at least. We would have probably won more games.

CFS: Ever play in a game/ever know anyone to play a game/ fucked up?
GW: I never played in a game fucked up. Had I devised a plan to beat the system, I would have tried I’m sure. I wouldn’t shove a needle in my arm, but maybe a joint in my lungs. I would have been a lot more calm. I wouldn’t have thought so much and just let go more and let my instincts completely take over. Then again I wasn’t exactly at peace with myself at that time, so it could have been a bad thing as well. Some of the best athletes in all of the world schmoke a little bud, I’m sure of it. Why not?

CFS: During recruiting did any college offer you $ or gifts
GW: No, I wish. I would have instantly been eligible for the Heisman. Campaigning starts early. Who’s to say I wouldn’t have accepted some stuff too? Think about it. No matter if I am from the hood or the woods, 18 years old. And I struggled at times to eat and have electric or take a nice young lady on a date. I don’t see anything wrong with taking money at that point in my life. Is it against the rules, yes. Would I suffer the consequences if I get caught, yes. But, the NCAA is making ass-loads of money on athletes and then telling these athletes to go shit in a hat. I believe the NCAA is a microcosm of our government, fraudulent and corrupt. It doesn’t make sense. Solution, make the NCAA a real NPO to feed starving children, fine the agents, pay the players.

CFS: Did boosters give you anything?
GW: Boosters gave me high fives and sharpies. I remember watching the movie, “The Program.” The linebacker, Alvin Mack, was getting broke off by the alumni. So in the back of my mind I thought, how cool would that be to get an envelope after the game? Just once, I’m not greedy, just to have it happen. No luck. I guess I didn’t make enough plays.
