Saban's pressers were a masterclass of saying something substantial without giving away important gameplan details or protected health status. His responses often include life lessons that apply to all of us, or are detailed back-channel messages to the team. If I were CKD, I would collect a...

I feel sorry for the young man, for having to learn a hard lesson the hard way. But the good news is that it will, as they say, encourager les autres.

Survey says there is not much interest in whatever it was they did the other day. The Yea Alabama thing for autographs is pernicious. It raised no money worth mentioning while also alienating the fans. So, we continue down this path, and maybe it will improve of itself, or we go back to the...

Not sure I've ever read a sadder wrap-up than that.

I agree with you completely, however I would like to point out in the gentlest possible way that the colorful language in question is not allowed on this forum. I'm a big fan of colorful personalities and colorful language, even though I don't use it myself, but I respect anyone who chooses to...

I posted elsewhere that I was temporarily impressed with the "shirts tucked in" phase last year. Sadly it did not last long. Great teams are forged while noone is looking. It is always the low-prestige, continuous behaviors that matter the most - workouts in the rain, not flaunting wealth...

I think we could cut out the spring game, the regular season, the post season, skip all the injuries and CTE, and award the championship based on the number of billionaires on your roster.

Today, 3 Man Front was giving examples of wide receivers in college making more money that first-contract drafted pros. The money has gone bonkers, it got there very rapidly, and I don't see what is stopping crazy rich guys (which I would be if I was a billionaire) buying literal 5th year...

I'm English born, and my dad sips Grouse and sometimes Walker for regular, and those 2 single malts for occasions. He started drinking Laphroaig when a Scotsman friend of his brought him a bottle 30 odd years ago. It is very smokey and not to everyone's taste. I understand that Scotsmen add...

The self-checkout line reaches football.

For me, personally, I did not enjoy the season. I turned games off multiple times because I was watching bad football. I'm not going to give up Saturdays with perfect weather to watch garbage. The games we won were not great, and especially the Georgia game, where we got to watch an...

Huntsville got about 4in and a day off school for the young'ns.

I wanted to disagree with you, and construct a scenario in which we get Good Milroe (or Georgia gets Good Beck etc) and we win that game ... but, coulda, shoulda, didnt. I think it is fair to say there are no really elite teams this year, but OSU is probably the closest. There were no elite...

I wondered what happened to Frank Wycheck. I am saddened about this. He was the analyst when the Titans were just awful (I suppose some things never change), but his gentle voice and demeanor were always a pleasure even in the worst of times. One time, the Titans were just trying to take a...

Just heard on Talking Ball that ND won $14M bowl money for their conference ... which is ND.

I agree with Mr Isaiah. It is all about what you do, not the other guy - attention to detail and doing the right thing all the time, on the field or when noone is watching. I was temporarily impressed by the "shirts tucked in" players only meeting, but this did not last long. This is what the...

The new rules have managed the remarkable combined feat of trivializing bowl games, as Saban predicted, while introducing a playoff system that has also been garbage.

Backup QBs hardest hit.

Suggestion - NCAA says that if he loses his suit, any wins he is part of must be vacated.

If he sues about getting tackled, he could play until he's 70 or so.
