A couple of his writers are Bama grads and he regularly gets digs in at Bama to screw with them. Also, like it's been mentioned, he is a Dolphin's fan. Couple those two things together and that is why we get his attention. And fwiw, it doesn't bother me in the least. I think some of his stuff is...

I've been watching Nikita on Netflix lately and I have to say it's been a pleasant surprise. I watched Dollhouse recently and enjoyed it and switched to Nikita once I finished thinking it would be similar. In one sense they are sort of similar.... They are about a secret organization with evil po...

FWIW, it has a lot of the quotes from the article Trey posted. It's basically a defense of people attacking ESPN for heaping praise on Alabama's players as being NFL ready and better prepared for the league. It's definite fap material.

Does Alabama give any tests to would-be recruits? I've always wondered about that. As thorough as Saban seems to be, I would think that sort of testing could be of great value in picking the right kind of players.
I've also wondered if we gave practice Wonderlic tests to our players to help...

This thread isnt about success in the NFL. It is about the draft and the perception that Alabama players are somehow more prepared and how this benefits us in recruiting.. We dont have a large enough sample size to state whether this percieved value of Alabama player is accurate or true. ...

Kind of my whole point is that this is changing. Analysts are openly saying that we are the best choice for kids who want to make to the NFL. I can't ever recall these guys saying this about UF and USC to the degree that they do about us. Maybe I wasn't paying close attention back then, but all y...

This thread isn't about you Bench, nor is about what you care about. It's about high school kids that want to get into the NFL. And make no mistake, kids who play football care about getting into the NFL.
