That means he has the makings of a used car salesman and is half as trustworthy.

College football is chock full of ethically challenged coaches. The vast majority will say or do anything to win. Even among that lot, Tuberville came across as oily.

17. When he left Texas Tech for the Cincinnati job

He was at dinner in a Lubbock steakhouse with three recruits and some assorted coaches. At one point, Tuberville got up to leave the table. The food arrived. Tuberville didn't return. The kids were flummoxed.

The announcement was made the next day that Tuberville accepted the head coaching spot at the University of Cincinnati. One can only assume Tuberville left dinner to check in with his agent. When the coach heard he secured the job he was secretly courting, he left everyone in the lurch without so much as a word.

Fraudulent Hedge Fund! His partner went to prison and he negotiated a deal to stay out of jail.

Real sweet guy!

He was also involved in a fraudulent hedge fund. His business partners went to jail and he negotiated a "deal" to stay free.

He's a skuzzball!

He is lazy, greedy and dumb. Thinks he's smarter than whoever he is talking to. My feeling is that he is going to DC solely to strap on the feedbag and stuff his pockets with every crooked cent he can touch.

All that combines for a volatile mix. He'll have a constant stream of lobbyists running though his life.

Air them early, and air them often. Calling Mike Bloomberg. Here's a chance to help keep your promise. Tom Steyer, hope you're paying attention, as well.

Part of the reason they left Auburn was because she found ways to occupy herself that involved other men. I've also heard stories about her fondness for drinking and driving.

The Clinton camp made note of the same back in the 1990s, that in the region they called home, it is a "contact sport."
