What NETFLIX DIDN’T Tell You About the SWAMP KINGS - The REAL Story of the Florida Football Dynasty

- In this video, I document what the new "Netflix Untold: Swamp Kings" series did not include. The Netflix series covered the University of Florida Gators football team from 2005-2010 - while Urban Meyer was head coach - but did not get into the highly popularized and controversial events that made this team so interesting. The series had the potential to be great, but ultimately fell flat on it's face. I try my best to tell you what they didn't.

I made this video nearly a year ago and in the past few months it has finally began to gain traction. So let me address/clarify this:
I put my best foot forward in creating this video, but I still missed a lot of information, I'm sure. The entire point of the video is to point out what Netflix Untold's "Swamp Kings" documentary left out. They did a horrible job. In a four part docu-series where you tell "Untold" stories about a controversial team, it should've turned out a lot different than it did. They had access to players/coaches/staff, tons of money to produce it, etc. You can go watch the series if you'd like, just know it's going to romanticize the team and turn a blind eye to all of their issues. This video was meant to pick that documentary apart. Thanks for watching.
Where is the Cam video?
Copyright issues took it down
Well Done. I dig it.
The best part of all this stuff is how gullible the majority of the public is .
They believe whatever the msm gives them .
They have no commonsense
to even realize that this and much worse is going on all over the world in prominent organizations & fields of business & especially science
let alone college football
Give Me A Break
So many of them are complete weirdos
They’ve been hyped up since Middle School and have no idea of what’s actually weirdo ish.
I’m A Wild MuFu , well in My teens & 20’s I was always 1 of the most Wild MuFu’s so I know how ridiculous We can get
But Dudes that literally have a
Get Out of Jail Free Card
Everything is overlooked
Unless they just so happen to get that cop that’s going to take them in for DUi
but then that’s even brushed to the side with a fine that’s paid for and some classes they don’t even actually have to take.
Otherwise they have to commit M#7D37 to even get in any real ish
Or get caught with 500lbs
But most of it all gets swept under the rug
Even the ones getting caught with 350lbs 😁
As long as the right person in the press doesn’t find out before it’s too late
But most of the press is under control as well anyways
Peoples believe their hero’s are perfect
Putting Major Pro Athletes & Famous Actors up on pedestals
Sad Sad Sad …
Parents have to get it to their kids early
Don’t worship another Man
There’s only ☝️ 🙏
@@barreldelphia dang, Cam video sounded interesting
Fire content brother
To those who are unaware, you should know that Urban Meyer only participated in this series after being granted editorial control. His objective for this series was to sanitize this more shadowy era of his career in order to improve his posterity in college football history
They really wanted to romanticize the Florida gators like they were some great fairytale... good video , keep the truth coming.
exactly right. they left out all the bad parts, which is the large majority of the story. thanks for the support and comment
Why can’t they just want them remembered as a great football team? Which they were.
@@juliananthony1226 it's almost like they were not use to that level of success . or maybe they wanted history to remember them as the best ever. I think they are top 10 for sure.
@@jimmyjam5453they are. Legacy team. Swimming has had studs at UF. Baseball has been decent. Tennis. Basketball. I keep saying this and I'm a UConn Husky over Gators all day. Rebecca Lobo is my girl. My Michael Jordan.
Not many other schools sports wise have done what UF has done. UF is humble about it too. Again UF golf isn't a slouch either. UF rollerblading? We never stopped. 😂
@@juliananthony1226i think the lies or general skirting around issues makes it look bad. Youre not wrong but you have to address the culture of the program also.
As soon as I saw that Meyer and (whispering) Tebow were the main people being interviewed, I knew it would be some BS.
Haha the Tebow whispering commentary was very odd. Trying to distract us from all the stuff they left out
Especially that that waffle teebow😊
Started listening and from the start you’re talking BS about my Florida gators, and Tebow is without a doubt one of the best players to have ever played college football probably number 1-5. And that’s a fact. If you don’t believe in what I’m say just ask any of the players on any team they played. They will say he was the best! POINT BLANK…EVERY FOOTBALL TEAM IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAS THEIR QUIRKS. SO WHILE YOUR CUTTING DOWN ONE OF THE BEST TEAMS COLLEGE FOOTBALL HAS EVER SEEN, GO AHEAD AND TELL ALL THE DIRTY LITTLE TRICKS THAT EVERY TEAM THAT PLAYS COLLEGE FOOTBALL…YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT YOUNG MEN ESTABLISHING THEIR LIVES AND TRYING TO MAKE IT TO THE NFL. TO MAKE A CAREER! But maybe 2 players on every team will make that happen…STOP DESTROYING THEY’RE LIVES BEFORE IT GETS STARTED… THATS ALL I WANT TO SAY TO YOU ON FACEBOOK…GO GATORS…YOU WILL TRY TO WORK FOR THE MEDIA, AND YOU WILL PROBABLY MAKE IT…
Not 'some" bs... total bs.
There’s so many juicy stories like this from teams in the 70s, 80s, and 90s but we probably won’t ever hear about them
Suggest a few, I’ll look into them
@@barreldelphia I can’t think of any from college of the top of my head but I’ve read books about craziness in the NFL from teams like the 70s Oakland Raiders. I just know there was some good old characters running around campuses back then
@@Football__JunkieI’d have to think Alabama from the 70s had to be pretty interesting. Also the old notre dame and penn state teams
@@barreldelphiaJohn Brantley and Joey Sorrentino went to trinity catholic in my parents town. I knew some kids who went there and ran into them quite a bit. Ocala is was and will always be a party town and we partied hearty for sure.
@@barreldelphiaone of my family's church members Chris Johnson was also a Gator. (I knew him well I drummed at the church then occasionally when he was younger) I'm not a sports guy like my dad was but apparently he had a less than desirable performance and it bothered him apparently. He shipped out to a lesser known school and committed suicide. It was really sad. As I'm watching this I see some of the footage is from Gator Bait😂. I'm from CT we didn't move down here until early 2000s and I was already nearly done with school. Growing up we'd visit my parents parents in Ocala and my Father would always have past issues of Gator Bait from his mother waiting on him.😂
Again I'm NOT a sports guy but the UF stuff rubbed off on me. I own the NIKE trainer 1.2 Tebow Promise shoe. 😂 I passed on buying it in its original era because I didn't think I would wear them, but later regretted it as I love shoes. I got lucky not long ago and grabbed em for not much over 100 beans.
The Gators and I are still attached in 2020 I was cooking for Dan Mullen. And I forgot in mid 2000 with a stoner friend we did a boat cover for Billy Donovan. 😂
I've always been a James Patterson fan and even that was goofy he wrote about hernandez, as we know soo much controversy around the Gators. It's actually the bigger story.
I love how they try and erase Chris Leak like he wasn't the starting QB in the first Championship. Tebow was NOT the driving factor in the first year
He was a freshman and was used in short yardage situations and goal line situations.... Of course he wasn't 😂
"I don't want to spend to much time on this topic" in a video that's completely about how a documentary didn't spend enough time on a topic is actually crazy
That’s because I don’t want to talk about murder. They’re making money off their’s, I’m not.
@@barreldelphiaI always forget Billy Donovan brought back to back championships when all before this certain period UF wasn't taken too seriously as a basketball school. So even before the Tebow era the schools legendary status was cemented. And this is coming from a UConn guy.😂
🤡, go watch the doc he doesn’t need to regurgitate everything….
Rest of the team is like "Let's get some strippers, some liquor, some blow, xanax for come down, definitely need herb, probably couple hotel rooms" Tebow is like "But we need to say our prayers and thank the lord and savior Jesus Christ for this wonderful team and putting us together on this faithful night"
idk if this is good but tebow was the angel standing in the Hood
Can you imagine Tebow being A Hernandez’ chaperone for his weekend visit? 😂 now that’s funny!
😂
Cool somebody covered these incidents.After Cam left UF, he was infamously called "scam Newton". Supposedly, the laptop was stolen by somebody else.Cam bought that laptop through a third party allegedly.
Cam was caught red handed stealing the laptop! Otherwise he would’ve never been run off. But you bet that had they not had Tebow he would’ve never been kicked off the team.
@@chrisemerson7743Didn't he say the serial numbers didn't match?
@@Mr.Jaquaveon2k I’m not sure. But he didn’t help himself by throwing out the window with one cop knocking on his door and another cop witnessing it being thrown out the window just before he entered the building! That’s what I meant by “red handed”! 😂😂
Why does this video have less than a 1k views. This video is gold and deserves a million views
We’ll get there soon. Thanks for the support
Why don’t they do a documentary on 90’s Nebraska teams
I love those teams.....
The players stayed lowkey afterwards or just disappeared. Unfortunately for FL they got public with all the nonsense and it continued into the NFL.
Theyre still a crazy story. Just look at those teams in the 90’s and their arrest records😂
As a diehard K-State fan, I absolutely agree.
Cause no one gives af about Nebraska
This was fantastic. Subbed
Appreciate it my friend
They most likely didn't mention those things in the series because alot of the things you bring up happened after they left college. Pretty sure the documentary was about their college years
Still plenty of stuff going on with them in college. It’s fair not to include stuff that happened after their years at UF, but he did bring up moments that should’ve at least painted a picture of more fanatical sides to college football programs.
Like what? So far everything he’s talked about happened while at Florida! Matter of fact it seems they were their worst while at Florida! So please explain what you mean by “happened after they left college”!
Cap bro most the shit he talked about happened while they was in college😂😂
@@chrisemerson7743he don’t know what he means bro 😂
TheFork It’s pretty obviously this never would have been green lite by UF and ❤Meyer If they mentioned any of that stuff
Great video! I agree that this story left too much on table. It seems the Untold series is doing that with most of the stories. I was really disappointed with the Johnny Manziel story as well.
Phenomenal video
I was a student from ‘06 to ‘08 and saw several games. The players would zip around campus on their mopeds. We had won back to back basketball championships at the same time, so sports mania was at an all-time high. I can tell you this was all extremely well covered up, because I never heard a thing- and I worked catering for the games, too.! The highest level of donors were called “bull gators,“ and their boxes in the stadium were extremely nice. Urban Meyer would come up and hobnob with them a little bit before each game. Good times… Any other UF alums here?
Great vid, I left a like and a subscribe. Keep up the excellent content.
Seeing other teams get the "death penatly" for recruiting violations all while this shit was going on at Florida is the sole reason I hope the program stays in the fucking gutter, especially Urban Meyer. I can understand covering up failed drug tests, but they were covering up murder, theft, and assaults. Worst part is the NCAA was asleep at the wheel so Florida literally got off scott free.
It takes a little more to make a champion.
They won on Basketball too... and other athletics have done well like swimming... I mean don't hate. And this is coming from a Uconn guy. I got lucky I'd say.
@@kevincollins8620you lose cool points when you don’t win honorably. That’s the point
@@julius.shambles7 Honor only matter in Anime my guy. As a skater ball sports don't value honor. Where you been? And tell me I'm lying.
yea thats insane like this isnt as crazy as the nevin shapiro and the Miami situation but its still worth talking about, meyer is one shaddy SOB
Need a part 2 ASAP
Stay tuned
I think Cam Newton knew he was NOTICEABLY better than Tim Tebow, and starting Tebow over Cam Newton was “office politics” . Not to say Tim Tebow was not an all time great cfb player, but he is not Cam Newton. With Cam Newton as starting QB, I can’t say it would have meant an additional 20 pts to change outcome of the game, but it would have definitely been closer. Tim Tebow was a great facilitator of ELITE ball carriers, WITH one future HOF offensive lineman, and another elite multiple pro bowl offensive lineman. Put Cam Newton on that offense, and actually, they have a good shot at beating Bama in SEC Championship. Deshaun Watson was another very special player who gave Bama defense problems. If some country bumpkin defensive end from Kentucky hit Cam Newton, he probably would have broken the tackle, Tim Tebow went fencing reflex. I wonder if he and Tebow tangled in those sanctioned tussles on the matts. Cam would have embarrassed him. “If this happened, we would have heard about it from Cam Newton.” Not necessarily, Cam had good guidance from his father on how to navigate those waters. Tebow was a media darling, who had proven himself to be a multiple time national champion, and Heisman trophy winner. But just do me this favor: off the top of my head, I can name six Florida offensive players not named Tebow (Pouncey, Pouncey, Harvin, Hernandez, Cooper, Will Demps). On Auburn, I can name Dwyer #5 the running back because his sprawl out to keep knees off grass vs Oregon. And white dude #43 RIP. Very solid players, but not high round draft picks.
Wasn't the man shot in the arm Matt Patchan who was a gators recruit that ended up going to miami?
Not sure but the dude he shot in the back of the head was supposedly a good friend from back in Connecticut! He didn’t want to leave any witnesses! Aaron was a messed up dude! I don’t think will ever fully know what he had done or what he was capable of! He had killed 3 people but I’m betting there were more!
I'm not sure which is worse. Netflix's butchery of the truth on any topic or any person expecting anything realistic to come from netflix.
Urban Myer controls the narrative
Where’s the Cam Newton vid?
Why put Reilly Cooper in the video if his only screw up happened in the pros? Did he ever get in trouble while at Florida? And you wanna group him in with the likes of AH and the Pouncy twins? That’s reaching don’t you think!
Even I heard about the UF guys and went to school in Maryland. Lol
UF is legendary. I was revisiting an old emo band Sunny Day Realestate and their front man has rocked 2 Gators shirts 😂 back in their early years. They are from Cobains region....
It's pretty common for you to hear about a dominant powerhouse all the way out in...Maryland? I mean if you would have said you heard about them in Lebanon or Turkey I would have been shocked. But you said Maryland?? Really??
@@corysheffield7775 China and Korea messes with UF heavy.
I was 4 and even I can remember seeing them on the news damn near every day
Just about everyone in the state of FL knows that the Urban Meyer gaders were some of the worst people to play football since the 80s/90s Miami Hurricanes. If it weren’t for Tebow they would have gone down in history as the most disgusting team to ever play. Meyer attracted despicable humans to his team and covered up their misdeeds continually.
This is great info. And it doesn’t change a damn thing about how good that team was.
It shouldn't necessarily do that. What it is supposed to do is shed light on the reputation that Meyer should have rather than the one who works so hard to scrub of these things.
Bo it don't. They produced the Biggest Murderer in NFL History. Be Real Proud Bro
I enjoyed this documentary (even as a Georgia fan) but it did feel like a constant highlight reel that never explored the true issues this team faced in this era, and really made urban Meyer seem a like an angel which isn’t this case. Also Tebow was credited for being some super cool leader guy but apparently that didn’t translate to some of his teammates who did stupid shit which the documentary hardly explored.
So grown men went and made mistakes and that makes tebow not a leader?
Tebow was a leader on the field. But off the field they looked at him like the teachers pet. Someone who had probably never been in a real fight in his life!
@@robertpulliam4152everybody makes mistakes. But most of us don’t make these type of mistakes! The type that can get you some real time in prison!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 for your video
Netflix tried to contact a lot of players. They refused for various reasons.
This is fantastic
Appreciate that my friend
I didnt see this, but I remember all the gators stories.
winston thieving shrimp, newton thieving laptop, its all humiliation rituals they have to take part in for their coming success
They did cover the laptop story.
But Gahhhhhhhh Damnnn those FL teams were good!! 😂
After i watched the documentary i as a Florida fan was terrified that this was an attempt to whitewash Urban's shit so the university could hire him back
Urban did a good job showing how good of a husband and father he is. Grinding on college girls in the club.
Where's the Cam documentary?
I went to your page to look for your Cam Newton college career video and couldn’t find it. Don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or what?
Well done
I would imagine they wanted to avoid any lawsuits
What DID they talk about in the NF doc!?
That aaron hernandez sure was a killer on the field, crazy good TE
😂 about as good a killer as he was off the field!
Arrested “Either in college or after” .. What the fuck does what someone does AFTER college have to do with the University? Man! Yall hate the Gators so much it’s wild!
ya idk much about football but the series felt very underwhelming i felt like i had felt like there was something i was missing out on
To me , I there Was a lot of things they left that in that documentary They didn't mention aaron hernandez much on the documentary and they didn't mention much on the D line accept for the linebackers in secondary a tone of things they left out
Can Vice Sports or somebody give us a real documentary
History being revised(even in sports)? You don't say....
Nope Myer is scum
I knew about all this when I was a 3rd grader in Gainesville
True Gators already knew about all of this. The documentary was meant to be about the good stuff.
Football teams are like pirate ships. There are leaders,followers and those who walk the plank.
I can understand people wanting or even expecting more details from a “documentary” on a team as Iconic as the Florida Gators! However, thinking that any player who has a National Championship because of a Team or ended up in the NFL because of playing on said Team is going to throw a University, a Coach, or a Teammate under a bus is both ludicrous & laughable !!! Netflix got what they could & even those that hate the Gators watched Swamp Kings - some more than once … Go 🐊 Gators !!!
The trailer lied. They still need to a 30for30 about these teams and learn the true story
I was a senior in highschool during these times and went to plenty of games and now have been working for UF for the past 10 years.... That time was FUUUUN! 😂
With that being said Urban and UF would have done anything they could and would have even covered it up if they could if Cam didn't steal that laptop. The really good star players and coaches rule Gainesville. Shit UF rules Gainesville. I mean Hernandez was still being a Savage during that time and he stuck around but it wasn't proven yet so it had to of been super obvious that he messed up in some way so its Cam's own fault why he got kicked out of UF but it does suck for me because I'm a Gator fan and I know all he would have done was win more titles. And the documentary didn't talk about Hernandez because after he went to jail UF completely removed him from existence from ever even being at UF ever. So it does not surprise me at all that they didn't talk anout Hernandez because as far as they are concerned he wasn't a human that ever existed.
Wondering how Bill Belichick drafted Aaron Hernandez? Did the Pats do their homework?
Sounds like last dance 2.0?
I watched the Aaron doc and love the untold serie never knew he played for them
I think them leaving Aaron out was probably out of their hands and for the best
Texas had the 3rd most passes thrown against in the ncaa because you couldn't run the ball..
Now we were 33rd in passing efficiency defense... so it's not all bad news in the back end..
They glossed over Hernandez. I'm glad that The Dynasty (Apple TV).
They glossed over Aaron Hernandez
Zach Smith wasn’t mentioned because it didn’t happen in Florida
Rest in peace Aaron Hernandez 💗💗
Watching this shit as a student is possibly the saddest thing ever
Florida and Cam could have had 2 more national championships and a Heisman or two more if not for the laptop incident
I wonder what happen to their TE. That dude was a killer on the field.
Killer off the field too
He was got more hang time than a North Korean missle
Wasn't there a player who did squats and his quads collapsed or something like that?
Yess!! It's literally called the valentines day massacre
Yes. His name was Kevin Nash
lol my big brother was on that team i was 8 yrs old at the time 😂
I wonder who your brother is. 😂
Who’s ur brother
Did he play?
He's not gonna say cuz he's lying
His brother is forsure locked up right now
Hernandez was cleared to not be guilty after he died in prison
You do know that Untold made an entire documentary on Hernandez that’s why they didn’t touch on it in this
And it also sucked
@@barreldelphiayou literally brushed over it yourself, said we all know and we can find it elsewhere
@@SharronNeedles😂😂😂😂
Do you really think Netflix would bring up black crime? They absolutely ignored it purpose
Ummm I’m literally watching swamp kings for the 1st time on my Xbox and this video is recommended on my iPhone.. wtf!
Because it's most likely the same email address and same IP number. The algorithm is looking for things that you seem interested now
Can’t help but hear you saying “Iron Hernandez” over and over again
Urban Meyer and “controversial” goes hand in hand
Which makes sense why Florida and Ohio State picked him up 🤢🤢🤢🚮🚮
It is so weird that the boy scout Tim Tebow was on that team.
quite ironic
@@barreldelphia from what I heard from West Port High players who played Nease when he was only being discussed going to Florida (I was a stoner and one of my buddies stopped by with a bag he was a former lineman. ) my Father being a big sports person started mentioning the Gators and recruits... Tebows name came up... and my friend says "That guy he seems dumb as hell but he hits soo hard! He gave me a damn headache!"
I still remember that. When I saw his runs I would say to my Dad "Dude did say he hits hard..."
Cant talk about Aaron Hernazdez probably due to legal reasons . Also there is also a stand alone Nextflix series on him. I would imgaine the rest of the stories were not allowed due to legal reasons and NDA
Not true. They interviewed a ton of people and just cut their material once Meyer pushed hard to come on board and control the doc.
The program went so far downhill after Spurrier left, who had very few disciplinary issues there.
I didnt know that about Zach Smith, hes famous as a youtuber who got his fame from being Urbans Assistant.
He did this same video downgrading everyone but left out his pregnant wife beating of course!
And Jameis Winston kept Cam from getting one at Auburn.
Me in CFB 25
why tf did they leave all this out
Urban Meyer is a snake!! He covered up MANY things, lied about his health, “left coaching to concentrate on his family” and less than 6 months later took a job at ESPN!! He knew all those guys were going to NFL and he was going to lose!!! Was a great coach🙄 but also had Mullen at his side since he began coaching!! So was he really a great coach or was it Mullen!
Cam really acting like he deserved any kind of shout out is crazy ! He did NOTHING at Florida! And for people to say he carried Auburn is blasphemy! That whole team was legit ! Stop the CAP
Hell of a team though.
That doc isn’t even worth watching. Same for the Manziel doc. Only thing I can imagine is that the filmmakers chose access over truth.
Yeah, that ‘ish was ridiculous… some delusional Superfan level of revisionist history
I still love urban
"I don't need to give you the story of Aaron Hernandez".... Immediately tells you about Aaron Hernandez lol maybe they didn't tell more about Aaron Hernandez because this doc was about the Gators, not what happened after the players got to the NFL
And y’all tryna make UGA look bad for some dam speeding tickets
You definitely forgot my good friend Avery Atkins... I miss that guy, I'm a FSU fan and hated when Avery went to uF...
im a die hard Nole and i got made fun of cause i wasnt a fan of the gators or tebow, i was in high school at the time and everyone and their mother was a gator, my gf broke up with me and wanted to be a bandwagoner lol like it sucked for me. but i stayed true to my Noles. but yea the team was good but i was the biggest bama fan during that 2009 SEC Championship game.
As a Gator fan, I would gladly take a lot of players getting arrested for a championship. 1990-2010 was the best time of my life. And being a Gator was a huge part of that. Make the Gators Great Again! Go, Gators, always 🐊🐊🐊
Aaron Hernandez. Mic drop
@@chrisschaeffer9661 still loved watching him in the Swamp. He was a stud
They left out all the juicy stuff! What a let down! HORRIBLE
Left out lots of Roman bath love. Go Noles.
UF was lit during this era. 101Cantina!!!!
They produced the Biggest Murderer is NFL History!!! Be Proud
Espn is a Gloss Factory. Especially LeBronze and Kobe!!!
All of Meyer’s combined scandals are nowhere near as bad as actively cheating and knowing EXACTLY what every single opponent is going to call.
The rug starts lifting up and he scurries out of town like a coward to escape accountability.
At least Meyer faced his shit like an adult
When? When did Meyer face any of his shit like an adult! He tucked tail and ran more than once! “I must retire because of my health”! Took a year off and went to Ohio state! Or did you forget that part?
Yeah after watching that documentary, I was disappointed with how they provided little detail. About the major incidents that happened at that university !
Yea cam said they left out hella shh.
Bru talk Gators swimming.
