7. For some reason, some legislators in Georgia want in on some of the embarrassment the politicians from the state of Florida want for their takes on the College Football Playoff. Georgia has no legitimate claim to a spot in the College Football Playoff

6. The Alabama Department of Public Health and the State Committee of Public Health appear to be attempting to hold off Alabama legislators’ attempt to rein in the State Health Officer.

5. The lawyer for the man tased while handcuffed and placed over the hood of a police car says that what happened to his client is “just a normal day in Reform, Alabama.” Clearly, this is untrue, if it were true this would not be news and this officer would not be facing the possibility of being severely disciplined and charged here.

4. The three police officers who were fired and the one suspended over disciplinary issues in Decatur involving the shooting death of Stephen Perkins, which the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency is still investigating are appealing their firings. There is still no word as to what the policy violations are.

The primary for the newly drawn First Congressional District will be one to watch and this fight will replay itself over and over.

7. NCAA President Charlie Baker says the organization is not in a position to further sanction Alabama for playing Charles Bediako during his temporary eligibility under court order, as losing in court does not allow punishment of the winning party, so Alabama’s three wins will remain intact with no record vacating required, despite teams like […]
