Anyone watching ESPN NEWS? They're showing $abban firing back at the media..LOL

[The Prowler]

ESPNNEWS  is showing a replay video of $abban's last Media Slap....

The reporter asked him about the numbers and he just made an ass out of himself. He told the reporter that, "it would all work out.....aight?" he then said that, "I don't call you to write an article for you (But he does have someone take a blog down)...aight, so I don't need your help in getting my numbers down...aight? That is something you don't need to know, aight, and our fans don't need to know either...aight?" He then made a motion like he was scratching his ass or wacking off, I couldn't really tell, saying "we don't need someone, to do this."  LMAO....What a Fucking Douche that Midget is....now it's being replayed on ESPN NEWS, then they mention his record last year...LOL.

Imagine if Coach Tuberville did this, the media ALL OVER the State would Blast Auburn and Coach TT, then PF would say that Every Recruit that is thinking of going to Auburn should rethink it, or something to that nature. Then on the Caravan that $abban and some Boosters are going on this summer, to several cities in Alabama, they'd play the audio/video along with the 9-11 and Pearl Harbor references, if Coach Tuberville would've said that.

preach it brother!! the bamtards would be out in force proclaiming how classless CTT is and how they would never have a coach that would do something like that. It would be just anohter example of how classless the "barn" is. Fuck them
 I'll bet the ego-midgit is not burdened with a great number of friends. If someone talked to me like that I believe I might just have to slap the taste out of his goober smooching mouth.

But the problem is that the Gumps eat that shit up with a spoon. 

As soon as Saban pulls this hot poker out of my ass, he's gonna cut my dick off ($1 to George Carlin) and I am gonna love it, cause we done won the cruitin championship.

The reporter was The Birmingham News' own Ian cRappaport.  Here's the blog he wrote about it:

Saban vs. Rapoport: The numbers game...
Posted by Ian R. Rapoport -- Birmingham News April 15, 2008 12:02 AM

Some questions, you can't wait to ask. If a pitcher coming off arm surgery throws a no-hitter in his first start back, it would be fun to ask him, So how does that feel? On the other hand, there are some questions that you simply have to ask. Ya know, because it's your job.

A lot of times, it's clear that while the answer will be valuable, the process getting there won't be pretty. Your subject might not want to talk about it. Yeah, you might get yelled at. (Not that you mind...)

Today, after Alabama's last spring practice, I had one of those situations. One of the big questions, I think, for the offseason is how will coach Nick Saban whittle the roster down to just 85 scholarships? There are 66 on scholarship now, and assume 25 freshman will enroll. That's 91. So six have to go by August.

How? That's what I asked Saban today. He was entertaining as always. Let's just say, the conversation was classic:

Me: "The numbers is issue. First, do you know, is Colin Peek on scholarship?"

Saban: (Time to play dumb.) "I don't know. You ask me, do I know..." (Bad question. Clearly, he knows.)

Me: "I think you do know." (See?)

Saban: "You'll have to ask somebody else." (Cue mischievous grin) "You're asking the wrong guy."

 
Me: (Alright, come on, it's getting late.) "He is, right?"

Saban: "Yeah." (Round one: Me!)

Me: (The real questions) "How are you going to handle the numbers and when do you start to worry about it?"

Saban: (Getting a little loud... What, Saban worry?) "I'm not worried about them. It'll all work out. I mean, the whole thing has a solution to every issue. You don't put yourself in a position where you don't know what's coming, then have to take it in the chops." ("Chops" is such a dad word. Not that there is anything wrong with that) "Aiight? We know how it has to be managed, and it will be managed."

(Pause)

Saban: "And you don't need to call me and ask me to write a column for you, and I won't call you and ask you how to manage our numbers. How's that?"

Me: (Deal! But when when did I suggest how to manage the numbers? If he did ask... I digress.) "I don't even have a calculator." (Can't do math without one of those.)

Saban: (The smile returns.) "You don't need one to do this."

Me: (Throwing the hands up in the air.) "So you're not going to tell us?"

Saban: "I'm not going to tell you what?" (That exit is looking mighty welcoming now.) "It's none of your business. Aiight? And don't give me this stuff about the fans need to know, because they don't need to know."

Me: "I would never say that."

Saban: "Don't even ask. Aiight? So. (Starts to walk out, but he's got one more zinger before he leaves.) Ya know, I thought we could get this one last thing without having to..." (attempt a scolding?)

Me: (Even I start to laugh at that) "You really thought that? No chance."

Saban: (Off the podium, he can't help giggling to himself, too) "Not with you."

Media relations guru Jeff Purinton: (Escorting Saban out the door) "He (me) needed something to hold him over until the season..."

True. Good times...

Good God, Ian.  Saban basically rammed you up the ass and you just smiled and asked for more.  Wipe that jism off your chin.

Ian and Saban go at it like this all the time. Most people in the room seem to agree that Saban seems like actually like Ian.
