President Obama: I'd "Think About Changing" Redskins Nickname
President Obama clearly thinks it's time to switch the Washington nickname to something less slur-y and danced around outright saying so in a recent interview with the Associated Press.

Report: Alabama Assistant Loaned Money To HaHa Clinton-Dix
After yesterday's practice, Nick Saban announced that standout safety Ha'Sean "HaHa" Clinton-Dix was suspended indefinitely.

Johnny Manziel, The Puppet: Texas A&M-Alabama <em>GameDay</em> Sign Roundup
We find ourselves on yet another Saturday morning cultivating the best efforts of the (mostly) drunken, (mostly) teen-aged minds of those shirking the responsibility and honor associated with higher education for some good fuckin' times. God bless you, you animals. ...
Behold, A Life-Sized Jell-O Mold Of Nick Saban's Face
Spilly, SBNations's food humorist—and a Pitt fan, of all things—unveiled his latest creation today, along with a breakdown of how it was done. It would not be an understatement to describe this as a Spilly masterpiece. Also not an understatement: This is the closest Nick Saban has ever come to resem...
Nick Saban Walks Out Of Press Conference Over D.J. Fluker Questions
This Saban presser, on the heels of the Yahoo report that former offensive standout D.J. Fluker was funneling cash into the Alabama program, is a thing of beauty. It's very Belichickian in it's format: boring we-had-a-good-week-of-practice-blah-blah beginning followed by a preemptive statement of no...
Report: NFL Agents Funneled Money To College Players
A big Yahoo report dropped today, presumably to ride/torpedo the momentum of SI's flawed Oklahoma State exposé. It claims that NFL agents and financial advisers funneled tens of thousands of dollars to five college players, including Alabama tackle D.J. Fluker....

<em>Sports Illustrated</em> Falls For Satire About Nick Saban Visiting Texas
What you see above is the story that went screaming out on the SI Wire at SI.com earlier today.

But that's not all SI.com is...
'Bama Synagogue Issues "No Spoilers" Warning For Yom Kippur SEC Games
Bad news for Jewish college football fans in Alabama: next week's Auburn-Mississippi St. and Alabama-Texas A&M games fall smack-dab in the middle of Yom Kippur.

Why Football Is So Important In Alabama
I was in South Carolina last weekend, college football country. Clemson vs. Georgia was all anyone cared about unless you counted the local high school game and they cared even more about that. I went to a general store and found these vintage Bear Bryant bottles of Coke on the shelf. They sold frie...
