Knocked Off the Pedestal: Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger Charged With Securities Fraud
Do you remember the movie, Rudy starring future Hobbit, Sean Austin? I still watch it all the time, it was an inspiring story and a nice piece of film-making. It also had the virtue of being based on the real experience of a walk-on football player at Notre Dame who eventually got to dress and...
