Arrr! Nick Saban be settin' Shane Gillis straight, sayin' no pirate plunderin' occurred in his Alabama treasure hunt!
2024-12-22
Arrr, the seven-time captain o’ the gridiron be not pleased, matey, at the mere whisper or jest that his lads from Alabama be takin’ treasure not rightly theirs! He’d sooner walk the plank than hear such scallywag tales!
Avast ye hearties! In the month of January, the grand captain o' college gridiron, Nick Saban, did declare his retirement from the field. Aye, soon after, he set sail to join the crew at ESPN, where he be now a seasoned analyst on that famous vessel known as "College GameDay."In these waters, Saban be castin' his eye on NFL Draft shenanigans and other ESPN escapades. During one fine Friday, a jester named Shane Gillis sailed aboard as the guest picker, but lo! His jests ruffled Saban's feathers when he jested about players bein' paid under the table, suggestin' that ol' Nick and his Alabama crew might’ve turned a blind eye. Arrr, that be a dangerous sea to navigate!
Gillis, tryin' to lighten the mood, did claim, "Now there's parity, and even Notre Dame has a shot!" But alas, Saban, not present at the time, later caught wind of the jest and took umbrage, affirming his commitment to integrity in his ship. He quipped about how he made champions, not cheats, for 61 of his lads now sail in the NFL!
So, me hearties, here's to Saban, a captain who be known for buildin' mighty ships and not for pillagin' the treasure of honor!
