🏈 AJ McCarron says he's known Nick Saban to 'handcuff' offensive coordinators

[MissingRing]

I listened to AJ's comments, in context. I can understand how he thinks he didn't say anything detrimental to his former teammates or the Alabama football program. Nevertheless, the public perception is otherwise. He would do well going forward to keep his thoughts about the team private.

Regarding the other former players who tweeted about this, it's pretty clear they already had their opinions of him and the only thing that's new was the excuse to tweet about it.

Defensive players too. I agree.

Preston Dial was a TE on the 09 team.

Handcuffed? So what? Stallings had them shackled.

Who cares what A J McCarron says? I know I do. continue reading...

Kevin Scabinsky says "Enquiring Minds Need to" care about what AJ McCarron says.

During occasional breaks from his duties as the Kardashians shadow for the National Enquirer, Scabinsky likes to engage in what is loosely termed "serious sports journalism."

He is a fan, after all, and writing about the rough and tumble daring-dos of manly men on and off the gridiron makes him feel rather manly too, especially after his many hours spent rooting through Kimmy-K's trash cans and hanging out in trees with telephoto lenses.

In his latest scribbling attempt at the real world, The Great Scabinsky has taken issue with Bama Nation's issues with the issues The Great Leader, AJ McCarron, expressed in a recent interview.

The Great Leader criticized Alabama’s lack of offensive leadership since his departure, after the Tide’s recent loss to Ole Miss, and he also pointed out what he sees as the Tide's defensive woes. Citizens of the Nation, naturally, gagged at the Great Leader's audacity.

The Great Scabinsky, conversely, was as pleased as a hooker with Brad Pitt as a client with the Great Leader's pronouncements--which is not surprising given the Scab's proclivity for wallowing in the tawdry and sensational on his regular beat--and he shames the Citizens for manifesting the "mindset of Saban as pope, infallible and not to be questioned in matters of football." Small men like to poke great men with a stick when they have opportunity. It makes them feel better about themselves.

But the Great Festering Scab didn't stop there. Journalists of his stripe never do. He went so far as to bludgeon a brain damaged old man.

Fran Tarkenton is, what, 110 years old? And he played at time when quarterbacks were chum in the water, fair game for every freight train rounding the blind side with destruction on its mind. He is, no doubt, a walking permanent concussion--who should not be held responsible for what falls out of his mouth.

Despite his rattled brain, however, there’s one thing Tarkenton understands that the Scab refuses to grasp and that is you don’t criticize family in public. Indeed, mommas used to beat their youngin’s for crossing that line.

How many times have we heard football players refer to their teams as family? Indeed, the Great Leader said those very words several times when he was at Alabama. Now, did he mean it? I’m sure he did. Then why did he feel the necessity to criticize his family in public?

Citizens of the Nation don't mind criticism of the Crimson Tide. We engage in that activity frequently through various means. And we don't mind if the Great Leader expresses his opinions. He's entitled to them. He's a part of the family. But we do balk when a member of the family goes on the airwaves and expresses negative opinions about the family to a hating public.

Let’s sharpen the focus of this issue just a bit. Imagine Dee Dee has a medical condition. And let’s further assume she is a great cook when her medical condition is under control. Now imagine the Great Leader goes on the air, with the potential of millions of people as an audience, and he says something like this:

“That’s the reason mom is struggling in the kitchen, her prolapsed vagina. Man, when that thing’s up there where it’s supposed to be, mom can turn out fried chicken you’d kill for. But when it’s drooping, we all load up and go to Popeye’s.”

Does the Scab believe Dee Dee should ignore her son’s temporary stupidity? Should she blow off his airing the family’s laundry? Would he tell her that AJ has a right to his opinion and that she shouldn’t wax all pope-y about it?

Actually, the Great Scabinsky would love it, because that’s the kind of journalist he is. And he would probably say something like this:

“I hope he [AJ] continues to offer his honest opinions on [Dee Dee’s prolapsed vagina]. I hope his skin thickens and he doesn’t feel compelled to explain himself…every time [his mom] objects to something he says.”

Believe me, I'm for calling a spade a spade. I'm just of the opinion that AJ is wrong on this.

 

[bcracker]

@planomateo I agree with you 100 percent! I hope I didn't leave you, or anyone else, with the impression that I was challenging anything you said. I was just having fun with Scarbinsky's article.

 

[planomateo]

@bcracker, you certainly have a way with words :rolf:

Coach Stallings used to come into the offensive meeting room and say, "a punt is a good play! Just give us enough room to where the punter gets his full distance from the snapper and don't screw up!"

 

[ElephantStomp]

He should concentrate on being more than a injured QB and less about Alabama's "problems".

He's got a bad case of headinassitis and should just keep his mouth shut.
