More about the whole Simeon Castille case. The story goes deeper. I jumped to conclusions - the kid was acting idiotic, but at the same time, this crap happens all the time in Memphis and the police act like the kids have the right to do it. Either way, I'm tired of all of it, so I'm done talking about it. If you're interested in all the stories about it, read up on it here, here, here, here, here, and here.
See? That's more than enough info about how Coach Saban supports Sim, but he will be punished.
Paul Gattis chimes in to remind us that, even though there's a buncha crap about the arrest, football season is less than 2 weeks away.
The offense played well in Saturday's scrimmage, but the defense finally stepped up to the plate and did some good things.
Coach Saban said to not hold him to it, but Jonathan Lowe should report to the team before the first game. If so, that puts him and Javier Arenas as the kick returners, and I'll be damned if that's not gonna be fun to watch for every kickoff.
Coach should be talking about the first game of the season, or how the last few practices have gone, but instead he gets stuck talking about discipline and how he hopes players are learning from their mistakes.
Alabama is back on the cover of Sports Illustrated, and they got a helluva writer to do the article to go with the cover. Rick Bragg, author of All Over but the Shoutin' and Ava's Man, wrote the piece, and it's a good one too. Check it out here.
