    Hate that about Groom, besides being a University of Alabama alum and writing Gump (and the other arguably better books he wrote), he was a journalist before being an author and before that was a captain in the Army and served in Vietnam. He was a philanthropist and made a lot of money with Gump, but you would never know it when you met him. Just a humble and funny guy. He loved college football as much as any of us here and was a great historian of the game.

    • lol...with 45 days till the election and a certain bloc of Florida voters very important, Trump will be suddenly announcing an $11B aid package to Puerto Rico to help repair damage from Hurricane Maria (which hit 3 years ago)

      The White House on Friday announced a $13 billion aid package for Puerto Rico, three years after the territory was hit by Hurricane Maria.

      • This seems wrong. Some actress drove drunk, killed someone, and was sentenced to a lenient term, but after serving over 2 years time, she was freed. Now, over 5 years after serving that sentence, they say that wasn’t a strong enough punishment and have resentenced her for another 6 years.

        I had no idea this was even possible.

        Amy Locane previously served nearly two and a half years of a three-year prison sentence on charges of vehicular homicide and assault

        • Yeah how exactly IS that possible?

          • Yeah, I’m all for harshly sentencing drunk drivers who kill someone, but she was sentenced, served her time in prison, and was freed. There shouldn’t be a do-over for her punishment.

            • Isn't that some sort of double jeopardy?

                Don't know, but it sure seems like some sort of bullshit

                      • I wonder if the Ds took any positions that might be hypocritical. Nah.

                        In any event, there's not enough time to replace her.

                        • Damn, RIP

                          Trump and Mitch would love to ram a candidate through but there's too many vulnerable Republicans that won't go for that. At least I hope so. Graham himself is in a tight race and has gone on the record saying he wouldn't support a nomination process this late in the year.

                            • It doesn't matter. Trump would appoint another Federalist Society cuck like Kavanaugh who would side with the Liberals on anything important anyways.
