I am not sure how many people have heard the horror stories of Rudy, but this guy is a piece of shit and he is about to pay dearly for it:

At first glance I thought that was a picture of Jarrod from Subway.

That's not the real Rudy. This Rudy will never let me down.

My dad had several dealings with the guy through business years back and always thought he was sketchy. So this is nice to see that my dad's gut was right.

Anything else your Dad's gut was right about? I'm looking for some long-term investment advice.

Don't eat the Swedish meatballs. That was another of its findings.

At least he wasn't caught raping a ten-year-old in the bathroom...

POS?

Come on, he didn't admit any guilt. He just coughed up close to $400 k.

And the GT O-line still can't block him. :)

Anyone who gets involved in the insipid world of "sports drinks" deserves whatever is coming to them, mostly because of their lack of imagination.

I've known this since the movie came out. Dan Devine was the AD at Mizzou when the movie came out and he was very hurt by the film. Devine wasn't a bad guy at all, and Rudy did nothing to defend Devine's honor when the movie made him into one. Everyone involved has acknowledged that the ending where Devine wasn't going to let Rudy play was false.

At least Coach Devine had a great line about it. When asked what he thought of that scene he said, "Any player of mine who gave me his jersey sure wouldn't get it back."
