Credit to Saban and he is definitely talking about the Brandon Miller situation. If Saban calls you out you just might need to do some thinking.

Nick Saban appears to shade Nate Oats after kicking Alabama football player off team

It appears we have some Alabama-on-Alabama shade being thrown.

Yeah I can’t root for Harper, can’t do it.

Ha! What did he do?

Just never been a fan

Love where Saban said “there is no such thing as being in the wrong place at the wrong time”. That’s a direct slam.

I loved it. When you’re Nick Saban at Alabama and you have the rings you can flex. He flexed on the right thing this time.

For a change, unlike when he decided hurry up offenses were bad lol

The Phillies carried this team

Same result as Philly too

Ouch! But you’re not wrong. The Sixers likely don’t make it to the NBA Finals. But if they do…they stand a good chance to end this run of 2nd place matched up vs the tallest midget from the West.

Mike Tyson and a midget is the funniest thing you’ll see today.

It's better than the shitshow in Cleveland...that would hurt though. 2nd place in all 3 main sports. Steps toward the future though so huge accomplishment nonetheless

For the Eagles and Phillies a step forward applies. For the Sixers it would be a missed opportunity of epic proportions. The Sixers matchup very well vs just about anyone that comes out of the West.

Compensation is way too much for a guy who has underachieved

Depends on the player I guess? If it's a WR that would be displaced by the trade, works for both sides.

Buccaneers' Baker Mayfield says he won't try to be like Tom Brady: 'I'm going to be me'

So many ways to go with that

Oh no doubt. BM kinda set himself to be the center of jokes. Of course he's not TB12, nobody is.

Not sure that is the best way to play it there, Baker.

With an absurd statement like that seems he still has a massive ego.

Only if you read that into it though. Would you rather he said he's going to play like Brady?

In all seriousness, I Think it just came off differently than he intended.

The cliche answer is to say something like “I am not Tom Brady, I am not going to try to be Tom. I will do the best I can and play my game”.

He just simplified it a bit too much and in a way that makes it sound like he thinks he may be comparable.
