Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame to Honor Two in 2006
(Tuscaloosa, Ala.) - The seventh presentation of the Alabama Stage and Screen Hall of Fame awards has been scheduled for Saturday, April 22, 2006 on the campus of Shelton State Community College at 9500 Old Greensboro Road in Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
"Since 1999, Theatre Tuscaloosa, in partnership with Shelton State Community College, has hosted the Stage and Screen Hall of Fame," said Paul K. Looney, executive director of the event. "I'm proud to announce that our honorees for 2006 are favorite native son Jim Nabors and Rick Bernstein executive producer of HBO Sports."
Rick Bernstein, born in Miami but raised in Birmingham, graduated from Mountain Brook High School in 1975. It was in Alabama, as a teenager with a love of sports, that Bernstein coincidentally found his way into sports television. As a young boy, Bernstein sold refreshments and souvenirs at Rickwood Field and Legion Field.
After befriending an ABC Sports technician, he learned that ABC frequently hired production assistants and runners. In the years that followed, he drove though out the South working college football games, Wide World of Sports, Auto Racing and Golf. By the time Bernstein reached college, he was traveling 35 weekends a year for ABC sports.
Following graduation from the University of Missouri, Bernstein began working in 1980 as a Production Assistant for the then fledging HBO Sports.
At the time, HBO Sports had just entered the Boxing business and had few programs to speak of, other than Inside the NFL. Bernstein traveled to New York to work on what he thought would be a one month project. Twenty five years later, he remains in New York, today as Executive Producer and Senior Vice President of HBO Sports.
He is responsible for overseeing the production of all HBO sports programming, including World Championship Boxing, Boxing After Dark, Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, Costas Now, Inside the NFL and an array of documentaries. He works with an entire production staff as well as the best broadcasters in sports television today including James Brown, Cris Collinsworkth, Bob Costas, Bryant Gumbel, Jim Lampley and Dan Marino
Throughout his career at HBO, his contributions have earned four Peabody Awards and 16 Emmy Awards.

If true,
Kinda makes sense why he used only the Auburn people and then used a Bama guy for comparison
ETA not that I'm a conspiracy theorist, just makes more sense

There you go that explains why Auburn cheated, because an Alabam fan works for HBO. Do you not see what is wrong with this? 
Posted on 4/3/11 at 11:33 pm to CFBFAN1121
Did the Auburn players go to Alabama, too?

REC put the green on the table and Mr. Bernstein sold his soul.

If the Barners had of never paid players, there would have never been a story. Posted on 4/3/11 at 11:38 pm to CFBFAN1121
There are two executive producers and one senior producer.
One of the executive producers, Ross Greenburg, graduated from Brown University - which is an Ivy League school.
The other executive producer, Rick Bernstein, and the senior producer, Kirby Bradley, have even less information available online. Though it would appear that Mr. Bernstein is from Alabama but graduated from Missouri in 1980. You know, Paul Finebaum was an Alabama fan before he attended Tennessee. Can you honestly say that his allegiance is still firmly planted with the Crimson Tide?
Assuming that Mr. Bernstein is an Alabama fan, are you to assume that the other two (who have little or no connection to Alabama whatsoever) agreed to hatch a plot to bring Auburn down by having players lie on television?

According to the Auburn Eagle Website, they were paid by Updyke's boosters.

The "All seeing" eye above the pyramid on the dollar bill means that the Masons are seeking a one world government.
