2022-09-30 00:03:10 +0000 UTCThis one is great preparation for the future episode(s) I'm looking forward to ACC doing on the greatest narcissistic con man of all -- Donald Trump.

2022-09-19 14:01:28 +0000 UTCThe constant ragging of Dan Marino 😂 Serious aside, if we look at ANY donor of five figures and higher I would think there are so many more sketchy Scrushy's out there. Powerful enemies for the former governor.

2022-09-18 14:16:46 +0000 UTCOmg...wow...and scrushy has a super cringe, self-aggrandizing website now 🤢 do yourself a favor don't look at scrushys website if you are doing anything fun that day. It will ruin it. 🥴

2022-09-18 03:14:10 +0000 UTCI requested it maybe 6 months ago but I figured it would happen eventually either way! Such an interesting case.

2022-09-17 22:19:01 +0000 UTCI grew up just north of Montgomery and have also been waiting for this particular subject to come up. I remember going to HealthSouth events and meeting Bo Jackson!

2022-09-17 22:18:10 +0000 UTCI’m also from the Ham but living elsewhere now. My mom tells a story about how Scrushy would stand outside to glare disapprovingly at people coming in late. She also says she thinks a lot of the guys who took the fall deserved better, especially one whose name I can’t recall. She said he was the sweetest guy and treated everyone with respect but ended up being one of Scrushy’s fall guys.
