How about former Bama players that were also SEC offcials ..Tommy White, Jack Smalley, and Bobby Skelton.

Gordon Pettus.

Officials are prohibited from refereeing a game for the school where they graduated from. Refs are graded on their performance for each game (calls made or missed). The checks and balances are in place.

But just think if a Big Call came up in one of these game. And some how benefited Bama, could you hear that the big mouth would be saying?

Hell Rick. They already say something.
Wouldn't be much different

Just to add fuel to the conspiracy theory, Jay Vines, a former Alabama player and on-field official, is the video review ref at SEC HQ during games.

I wish SEC Shorts would have had the Bama barbershop quartet singing that in a room filled with the other 13 fan bases. Now that's funny.

Don't know who, but not David. He's added weight, but not that much.

@OldPlayer, no doubt it's a photo he created (evidence by the insert) but I've found nothing on image searches.

Not the best photo, but you can tell David isn't as big (fat) as the Brooks photo.

Brooks needs to go offline again.

Brooks needs to go offline again.

He went from "slightly addled" to "batshit crazy" during his hiatus

 

[UAgrad93]

The other guy he mentioned, Steve Marlowe, is a BAMA grad and is one of our school board members here in Sylacauga. This Brooks douche needs to give up social media and give up trying to be a journalist. I know it’s a dying art but damn!!!

@OldPlayer and @TerryP , if it's not him, CBS Sports really dropped the ball when they featured him in a bit.
