Bobby was not the font of integrity everyone would like to portray him as. He was a good old boy but he ran an outlaw program. The press gave him a pass because he knew their Mama's favorite cornbread recipe. But, his real legacy is separate rules (or lack thereof) for his stars (think Jaworski's Rufinol, aka Date Rape Drug, "escapade" and Bowden's response regarding "Polish rules", along with many others). He punished those who weren't stars, but his stars were home free.
