Wait a minute, is that a full time job? It just says he is being hired to work for them. It doesn't say anything about him leaving as a columnist?

He so tried to be the next Paul Finebaum. His prose just wasn't good enough. The man took poisitions just to piss people off. At least Finebaum was able to convince you that his opinions were real and not just troll jobs.
Like when Finebaum talked about Bo Jackson breaking bats over his leg at Auburn on the sec network special? You know, in college where they use METAL bats? Finebaum is a joke

Well, technically it's possible. They're hollow aluminum alloy, after all, not solid steel. I wouldn't want to try it myself but if anyone could do it, Bo probably could.

Sports journalism just got a huge boost and the Bruno Event Team just took a major hit.

They spread it around at both schools. The Business School library at UA is named for them.

Didn't the family involved in the business along with the executives go down in a plane crash in Georgia years ago?

Yep. LINK

December 12, 1991
ROME, Ga., DEC. 11— A corporate jet carrying five top executives of a supermarket chain crashed into a rugged mountainside near this northwest Georgia city today, killing all nine people aboard.
The twin-engine Beechcraft BE-400 jet crashed into a wooded area of Lavender Mountain, six and a half miles west of Richard B. Russell Airport, from which it had taken off at 9:37 A.M. The crash site is two to three minutes flying time from the airport.
The victims included the chairman and vice chairman of Bruno's Inc., based in Birmingham, Ala. The corporation, which had sales of $2.6 billion for the fiscal year ended last June, operates stores in Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi and parts of Florida under the names Piggly Wiggly, Food World, Food Fair, Foodmax, Consumer Warehouse Foods, Bruno's Finer Foods and Bruno's Food and Pharmacy stores.
The executives were being flown by two company pilots on an annual tour of some of the region's stores and were heading for Huntsville, Ala.
Among the plane's passengers were Angelo J. Bruno, the chairman of the company; his brother, Lee J. Bruno, vice chairman; Sam A. Vacarella, senior vice president for merchandising; Edward C. Hyde, vice president for store operations, and R. Randolph Page Jr., vice president for personnel.

Yep. Part of the reason it sold. The surviving family made out like bandits and the company that bought it sent it down the tubes. It led to Publix coming into the market and eventually all those stores closing.

Bo Jackson was kind of famous for breaking bats over his knee/helmet. He could have been misremembering when he saw Jackson break a bat.

Scarbinsky was a gifted writer, who never could get over his Auburn beat writer fanboy status once he became a columnist. It was a shame he wasted that talent.
There's a reason he's been known as ScAUrbinsky since the 90's.
