The TV & Newspaper talk Before the BCS game:

Tinker Town: "Asking the talking heads on our television screens for real answers to our questions about sports are just about hopeless. If we ask them who is the best football coach in college football. Then wait for a straight answer. Or for that matter ask them who is the worst college football coach, and wait again for a straight answer. Or the best college football team. Then you can see just how dishonest these TV talking heads really are.

Straight answer is not apart of the TV scrip. Neither is simple questions about honesty study. Because of course we learned by now that honest study of the problems with ESPN sports talking shows. Is not going to be heard by us from them on sports pregame buildup TV programing. Forget about it, and wait to see what happens in the games played. These TV talk programs are simply full of bull.

The TV sports programing are becoming more like blood sucking parasite then anything else with each passing year. I try not to listen to them anymore. Let's just see the game, and then talk."

By GREG BISHOP

Walter Michot/Miami Herald, via Associated Press

Nick Saban built a reputation as a dictator in two seasons with the Dolphins.

Nick Saban’s two seasons as the Dolphins’ coach have remained fresh in the minds of former players, who have called him everything from a “control freak” to “one of the smartest minds.”
