Coach Saban Thankful for His Foot, We’re Guessing
To continue with the countdown to Thanksgiving—that would be t–2 to T-day, for those of you prone to word thrift and IM-speak—we decided to project a bit.
We already noted some sports huzzahs and hurrahs for which we’re thankful. To show how not self-centered we are . . .
*smirks and then snickers, thinking “Dagnabbit! We were thisclose to typing that with a straight face”*
. . . Uh, again. To show how not self-centered we are *smirks and snickers in a more subdued manner this time* and to put ourselves in someone else’s sneakers, we’re going to focus on University of Alabama football coach Nick Saban.
We don’t know the guy, but we’re pretttty certain that he’s grateful for that stump below his ankle with the toes hanging off the end. Why? Because he needed to put something in his mouth after making this statement in his weekly news conference, following a 21-14 loss this weekend to Lousiana-Monroe:
“Changes in history usually occur after some kind of catastrophic event. It may be 9-11, which sort of changed the spirit of America relative to catastrophic events. Pearl Harbor kind of got us ready for World War II, or whatever, and that was a catastrophic event.”
Now, we have a few degrees in history, so we have the creds to say this with confidence: On the timeline of catastrophic events in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, ‘Bama’s loss wouldn’t even be a footnote to an endnote in an appendix . . . not even in sports history.
Yeah, we know Saban was trying to rally his players into win-mode. We’re just busting his chops for his indiscretion with the hyperbole.
Besides, this leads us to another thing for which we’re thankful: blog foddah!
