And now, I'm back. I'm not sure I understand the problem with Saban. Think of it this way: You are happily married to Stanford football and have been for decades. But every now and then a guy just needs a little good football to spice up his otherwise perfect life. So, you take another football team on the side. Nothing serious. Just a little something to remind you of when you were young and your team could actually win games and respect. And if your football lover is a little trashy while being REALLY good in be...I mean, good in the stadium, it's all part of the thrill, no? And besides, if a man normally pays a hell of a lot for flashy jewelry, paying less than Stanford tuition for a very good education for Redumette II just seems like icing on the cake compared to what I paid for with Redrumette I 's Stanford education. (She's doing fine, still part of a far-flung Stanford neuroscience research team [end bragging])
And then, of course, there's the football. It's the seductive pull of knowing that winning a game has better odds than winning the Lottery. And you won't be clawing out your own eyes to avoid seeing...ummm, what's the phrase? A work not-so-much-in-progress every Saturday.
So I'm OK with Nick Saban. At least he turns out a competent product that entertains. And I don't pay his salary. Cheers,all!
