HBO Executive Producer is Rick Bernstein. Born in Miami, raised in Birmingham....bammer.
He went to Missouri you flaming fucktard.
that's the fourth name I've heard. All were branded 'bammers" At some point it becomes ridiculous. I don't doubt they are behind it, but proof is required.

Psh. Bullshit. We all know people who live in Mountain Brook don't have to sell refreshments at Alabama football games. I bet he worked the recruiting sections. I bet he sold popcorn for cheap prices. I bet it was popcorn boxes full of money.
Again, born in Miami....raised in birmigham, fucking retard. Maybe the NtYF will hit him up with some real fucking questions.

On a side note, I read in another article earlier today that the host (Nick Charles) of the bolded show above hosted his last show a week ago because he is about to die of cancer. It was to be his final show/calling of a boxing match. He was also CNN's first sports anchor and beat Chris Berman head to head in ratings when CNN did sports (they don't anymore). Just thought that was interesting.
