There’s at least one human on the planet tied to sports who doesn’t recognize Nick Saban.
Saban retired after this past season after winning a total of seven college football national titles – six with Alabama – and he’s now enjoying retirement and a role with ESPN.
He’s in Dallas for SEC Media Days, and if there’s one guy you’d think would be recognizable to everyone at the event, it’d be the greatest coach in the history of the sport.
Well, that assumption would be incorrect.

With most offseason content focused on young up-and-comers, we wanted to highlight some of the league’s best vets.
Rising stars get a lot of love in pro sports, and rightfully so. It’s easy to daydream about the type of player a young athlete can become, and easier to praise young athletes who have already arrived.

Brock Purdy was labeled a “system quarterback” and left off ESPN’s top-10 QB list.

Whew. What an automobile race! Right? Right?
Honestly, it was fine. Really. Pocono usually gives us some decent NASCAR racing, and I thought yesterday was par for the course. You got wild restarts, some fuel strategy, drafting – which is always fun to see at places outside Daytona/Talladega/Atlanta – and a few angry drivers.
Kyle Busch is angry. Beyond angry, actually. That cat is ready to rip someone’s noggin off. Like, he’s done. Done with it all. You’ll see.
We’ll get to Rowdy today, obviously. I think we’ll also get to Bubba Wallace! Just kidding.
